Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is ...

Lower skeletal muscle mass was associated with an increased risk for short- and long-term mortality in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). This association was particularly strong with ...

Cardiac complications in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are the result of cardiac muscle involvement that accompanies the deterioration of skeletal muscle in the disease. The use of ...

Hierarchical structure of muscle and activation of thin filaments. In both skeletal and cardiac muscles under a relaxed state, a low intracellular calcium ion concentration is maintained and the ...

Papillary muscle scarring (papSCAR) is prevalent in one-third of DCM patients and predicts cardiac death independently. The FIDDLE technique significantly improves papSCAR detection sensitivity ...

Background Patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) are at high risk of mortality, regardless of symptom status. Despite ...

Researchers have investigated the effect of increased cell temperature on the contractility of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle by heating the muscle proteins using advanced microscopical techniques ...
