Natural history of markers of collagen turnover in patients with early diastolic dysfunction and impact of eplerenone.

25 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the impact of eplerenone on collagen turnover in preserved systolic function heart failure (HFPSF). BACKGROUND: Despite growing interest in abnormal collagen metabolism as a feature of HFPSF with ... Read more...

Long-term effects of perindopril on left ventricular structure and function in patients with stable coronary artery disease: a conventional and Doppler tissue echocardiographic pilot study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of perindopril on left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function in patients with stable coronary artery disease who had previously undergone coronary artery bypass ... Read more...

Left ventricular mass regression after porcine versus bovine aortic valve replacement: a randomized comparison.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether small differences in transprosthetic gradient between porcine and bovine biologic aortic valves translate into improved regression of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy after aortic valve replacement. We investigated ... Read more...
