Micro-positron emission tomography in the evaluation of Trypanosoma cruzi-induced heart disease: Comparison with other modalities.

30 Oct 2009 Noninvasive assessment of cardiac structure and function is essential to understand the natural course of murine infection with Trypanosoma cruzi. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and echocardiography have been used to monitor anatomy and function; ... Read more...

Age-associated changes in cardiac gene expression after preconditioning.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Cardiac protection afforded by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) and anesthetic preconditioning (APC) are significantly reduced in the senescent myocardium. The authors hypothesized that age would differentially modulate gene expression ... Read more...

Acute methadone treatment reduces myocardial infarct size via the delta-opioid receptor in rats during reperfusion.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Methadone is an opioid agonist often given to manage acute and chronic pain. We sought to determine whether methadone compared with morphine dose dependently reduces myocardial infarct size (IS) and whether the mechanism is delta-opioid ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Myocardium'

Definition: The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

Descriptor UI: D009206

Alternative terms: Myocardium; Cardiac Muscle; Muscle, Heart; Heart Muscle; Heart Muscles; Muscles, Heart; Myocardia; Muscle, Cardiac; Cardiac Muscles; Muscles, Cardiac;

Allowable Qualifiers: chemistry; cytology; enzymology; immunology; metabolism; pathology; secretion; ultrastructure;

Tree Number: A02.633.580; A07.541.704; A10.690.552.750;

Technical Notes: the heart as tissue, differentiated from the heart as a pump ( = HEART); Manual 21.48; ischemia = MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA; inflammation = MYOCARDITIS
