Myocardial imaging with beta-methyl-p-(123I)-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP), a new radiopharmaceutical designed to evaluate myocardial fatty acid metabolism, was performed in 7 patients with mitochondrial myopathy to detect their myocardial damages in comparison with 201Tl myocardial
Visual interpretation of iodine-123-beta-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3(R,S)-methyl-pentadecanoic acid (123I-BMIPP) myocardial images cannot easily detect mild reduction in tracer uptake. Objective assessment of myocardial 123I-BMIPP maldistributions at rest was attempted using a bull's-eye map and its normal
A 49-year-old woman was admitted to hospital because of heart failure. She was diagnosed as having mitochondrial cardiomyopathy and diabetes mellitus. Echocardiography revealed a hypertrophic and poorly contracting left ventricle. A diagnosis of mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic
Based on genome wide association studies (GWAS), the activities of phosphodiesterase 4D (PDE4D) and 5-Lipoxygenase activating protein (ALOX5AP) were suggested as two of the major factors involved in ischemic stroke risks. Uncontrolled PDE4D activities often lead to cAMP-induced stroke and
BACKGROUND
Previous observational studies of self-reported dairy product consumption and stroke risk have reported mixed findings. Few studies have used circulating biomarkers that provide objective measures of dairy fat intake.
OBJECTIVE
We tested the hypothesis that the circulating biomarkers of
BACKGROUND
Circulating biomarkers of dairy fat provide objective measures of dairy fat intake and facilitate conclusions relevant to populations with different diets and susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
OBJECTIVE
To assess the relationship between circulating pentadecanoic acid
Objective: To evaluate the effect of triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV) on the cardiovascular outcomes in haemodialysis (HD) patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).
