BACKGROUND
Obesity can lead to increased oxidative stress which is one of the proposed mechanisms in the etiopathogenesis of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM).
OBJECTIVE
The presence of obesity adversely impacts clinical outcomes in TCM patients.
METHODS
We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample
BACKGROUND
Limited data exist on readmission among patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC), a commonly reversible cause of heart failure.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to identify etiologies and predictors for readmission among TC patients.
METHODS
We queried the National Readmissions Database for
BACKGROUND
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a rare condition characterized by a sudden temporary weakening of the heart. TTC can mimic acute myocardial infarction and is associated with a minimal release of myocardial biomarkers in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE
To
Sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity and elevated catecholamine levels are known features of chronic kidney disease (CKD). On the other hand, CKD itself is a high risk for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and in fact most patients with CKD die before reaching dialysis. Furthermore, Many CKD risk
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of acute coronary syndrome in younger females with no pre-existing history of coronary artery disease. Recurrent SCAD is common after a first episode and can involve the same coronary artery or present as a new The prevalence of cardiomyopathy from metabolic stress has increased dramatically; however, its molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 (Erk5) is lost in the hearts of obese/diabetic animal models and that cardiac-specific deletion of
Many electronic games have violent contents. A growing population of adolescent boys and girls report to regularly play violent electronic games (VEGs). Extensive video game use has been linked with obesity, physical discomfort and seizures. We report on a young, healthy man who participated in an
End-stage renal disease, cirrhosis, obesity, tachycardia, and extreme stress have all been shown to result in impaired left ventricular function. It is becoming clear, however, that the cardiomyopathies associated with these states are reversible after resolution of the underlying process. In this
Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) has been implicated in obesity-associated cardiac remodeling and dysfunction. Inactive rhomboid protein 2 (iRhom2), also known as Rhbdf2, is an inactive member of the rhomboid intramembrane proteinase family, playing an essential role in regulating inflammation.
