Objective Sympathetic overactivity plays an important role on the development of resistant hypertension (RH). However, the effect of sympathetic predominance on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in RH is not very…
Background Impaired aortic elasticity (stiffness) is shown to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in essential hypertension. Previous studies showed that activated monocytes and low HDL-cholesterol might have a…
Background We recently have shown in mice using 3rd generation microscopic USG that basal septal hypertrophy (BSH) is an early imaging biomarker of hypertrophy in physiologic and pathologic stress (Circulation…
Objectives SH are sulfur analogs of alcohols and founds as frees and oxidized form in plasma. The plasma SH source is mainly consisting for the glycine, glutamic acid, cysteine tripeptide…
Introduction Macao Follow up Study 2011 was a phone follow up to the participants who showed up in the Macao Health Survey 2006 (MHS2006). The response rate of the follow…
Objective Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is a novel parameter for cardiovascular research area. The higher values of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio have been found to be associated with worse clinical…
Objective Heart Failure comprises huge medical attention causing distinctive mortality and morbidity especially in westernized societies with a great impact on health care envisioning. The present study aimed to evaluate…
Objective Herein, we studied the functional interaction between 5-HT2B receptor blocker (SB-204741) and GSK-3β inhibitor (SB-216763) in myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury in rats. Methods To evaluate this hypothesis, either SB-204741 or…
Objectives The present study was designed to investigate the cardioprotective effect of sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3) against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in a pig regional ischemia model….
Objective Oxidative stress has a prominent role in the cathecolamine induced cardiac damage. The aim of this study is to investigate whether resveratrol (RVT) ameliorates isoproterenol (ISO) induced myocardial damage…
