Recommendation of low-salt diet and short-term outcomes in heart failure with preserved systolic function.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Dietary sodium indiscretion frequently contributes to hospitalizations in elderly heart failure patients. Animal models suggest an important role for dietary sodium intake in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved systolic ... Read more...

Generation of functional ventricular heart muscle from mouse ventricular progenitor cells.

14 Oct 2009 The mammalian heart is formed from distinct sets of first and second heart field (FHF and SHF, respectively) progenitors. Although multipotent progenitors have previously been shown to give rise to cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle, and endothelial ... Read more...

Predictors of technical success and postnatal biventricular outcome after in utero aortic valvuloplasty for aortic stenosis with evolving hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

26 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis in the midgestation fetus with a normal-sized or dilated left ventricle predictably progresses to hypoplastic left heart syndrome when associated with certain physiological findings. Prenatal balloon aortic valvuloplasty ... Read more...
