BackgroundThe three-dimensional rearrangement of the right ventricular (RV) myocardium during cardiac deformation is unknown. Previous in-vivo studies have shown that myocardial left ventricular (LV) deformation is driven by rearrangement of aggregations of cardiomyocytes that can be characterised by changes in the so-called E3-angle. Ex-vivo imagi...

BackgroundImmunohistochemical studies of hearts from the lesser spotted dogfish, Scyliorhinus canicula (Chondrichthyes) revealed that the pan-myosin heavy chain (pan-MyHC) antibody MF20 homogeneously labels all the myocardium, while the pan-MyHC antibody A4.1025 labels the myocardium of the inflow (sinus venosus and atrium) but not the outflow (ven...

BackgroundMyocardial perfusion measurement with a low-dose first-pass analysis (FPA) dynamic computed tomography (CT) perfusion technique depends upon acquisition of two whole-heart volume scans at the base and peak of the aortic enhancement. Hence, the objective of this study was to validate an optimal timing protocol for volume scan acquisition a...

Telocytes (TCs) are a controversial cell type characterized by the presence of a particular kind of prolongations, known as telopodes, which are long, thin, and moniliform. A number of attempts has been made to establish the molecular phenotype of cardiac TCs (i.e., expression of c-kit, CD34, vimentin, PDGRFα, PDGRFβ, etc.). We designed an immunohi...

Purpose of ReviewCardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Many complex cellular and molecular pathways lead to myocardial remodeling after ischemic insults. Anatomy, function, and viability of the myocardium can be assessed by modern medical imaging techniques by both visualizing and quantifying damages. Novel imaging tech...

HintergrundBei langjährigem intravenösem (i.v.) Drogenabusus kommt es sowohl zu entzündlichen als auch zu toxischen Affektionen des Myokards, die Anlass für eine kardiale Versagensbereitschaft bei drogenassoziierten und davon unabhängigen Todesfällen sein können.Ziel der StudieEine kardiale Versagensbereitschaft spiegelt sich häufig in morphologisc...

Fat deposition in the left ventricle in patients without proven myocardial diseases has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, a case of diffuse and patchy intramyocardial fat deposition in the left ventricular myocardium in a patient with no cardiac disease history has been detected by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). Such a ...

Kardiale Troponine sind bei einer Erhöhung oberhalb der 99. Perzentile einer gesunden Referenzpopulation als Marker der myokardialen Zellschädigung in der Diagnostik des akuten Myokardinfarkts etabliert. Die Diagnose eines Myokardinfarkts erfordert aber im klinischen Kontext zusätzlich den Nachweis einer akuten Myokardischämie im Sinne von entsprec...
