OBJECTIVES: In an elderly population, the prevalence of unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) scars found via late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was more frequent than expected. This study investigated whether UMI scars detected with LGE-CMR at age 70 would

PURPOSE: We performed 2D speckle tracking transthoracic-echocardiography (TTE) to compare the ability to predict occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) between global longitudinal strain (GLS) and circumferential strain (GCS) in left ventricular (LV) myocardium in hypertrophic cardiomyopa
Remote ischemic preconditioning attenuates EGR-1 expression following myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury through activation of the JAK-STAT pathway.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) protects the myocardium from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury however the molecular pathways involved in cardioprotection are yet to be fully delineated. Transcription factor Early growth response-1 (Egr-1) is a key upstream activator in
