| 21. | They are pathognomic foci of fibrinoid necrosis found in many sites, most often the myocardium.
|
| 22. | His own work led to greater understanding of the cellular mechanisms underlying ischaemic and failing myocardium.
|
| 23. | Electrical activity in the normal human heart begins when a cardiac action potential arises in the myocardium.
|
| 24. | This process protects the myocardium, or heart muscle, from damage during the period of ischemia.
|
| 25. | This increases the susceptibility of the myocardium to Early Afterdepolarizations ( EADs ) at low heart rates.
|
| 26. | However, as heart disease progresses, significant upregulation of galectin-3 occurs in the myocardium.
|
| 27. | This persistently stresses the heart and increases the workload of the lasting myocardium as measured by MVO2.
|
| 28. | This causes the myocardium to work more efficiently, with optimized hemodynamics and an improved ventricular function curve.
|
| 29. | The knockout mice also had increased triglyceride levels in the myocardium, which is a detrimental disease phenotype.
|
| 30. | Tagged CNCCs were concentrated in the cardiac outflow tract, and some were found in the ventricular myocardium.
