16. Heart Failure, Redox Alterations, and Endothelial Dysfunction -- Farré and Casado 38 (6): 1400 -- Hypertension
- hyper.ahajournals.org
- Other heart failure .
- Heart Failure, Redox Alterations, and Endothelial Dysfunction .
- Heart failure is characterized by neurohumoral alterations, such as activation of the sympathetic nervous system, stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system, increased activity of the endothelin system, increased production of norepinephrine, and increased circulating levels of cytokines. ... ROS may contribute to the pathophysiology of heart failure by initiating myocyte apoptosis and exerting direct negatively inotropic effects through the reduction of cytosolic intracellular free calcium. However, mechanisms such as endothelial dysfunction and inflammation have also been involved in the progression of heart failure. Antioxidants (eg, vitamin C) seem to improve endothelial functionality and reduce the inflammatory response in patients with heart failure. Therefore, in this review, we analyzed the involvement of ROS in the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with endothelial dysfunction in heart failure. ...

22. HHMI News: Researchers Pinpoint Genetic Cause of Heart Failure
- www.hhmi.org
- February 28, 2003 Researchers Pinpoint Genetic Cause of Heart Failure .
- Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered how an inherited disorder triggers heart failure by disrupting the flow of calcium in heart muscle cells. ...
- Although the discovery was made during studies of an inherited form of heart failure, the researchers suggest that this molecular defect may help explain other forms of heart failure - an emerging epidemic that affects 4. ...
- “HHMI investigators Christine and Jonathan Seidman have shown that abnormalities in calcium flow in heart muscle cells can cause heart failure. ...
- “Substituting only one amino acid in phospholamban produced profound changes in cardiac function, causing a premature death of the mice with evidence of heart failure that recapitulates what we saw in our human families,” said Christine Seidman. ...
- The Seidmans and their colleagues found that affected individuals would suffer a chronic malfunction of calcium regulation in their heart muscle, which ultimately would lead to heart failure. ...
- More generally, she said, the discovery hints that there may be more mechanisms of heart failure that are yet to be discovered. ...
- “This finding provides evidence that all heart failure is unlikely to occur by the same pathogenic mechanism,” she said. ...
- “Our treatment of heart failure is, in this day and age, relatively non-specific,” she said. “The kind of molecular dissection of the cause of heart failure that we have done leads us to ask whether — if we can restore normal calcium cycling in this type of defect — can we prevent heart failure? The hope is that the answer will be yes. ...
- Additional research might well reveal that defects in calcium cycling could underlie some forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which are believed to be a very different type of failure in the contractile apparatus, said Christine Seidman. ...
- That type of search could lead to significant drug targets for treating heart failure in general, she said. ...

- Keywords: Apnoea, heart failure, prognosis.
- Previous small-scale studies of the effect of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) on prognosis in congestive heart failure (CHF) are either lacking or conflicting. ...
- The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the presence and type of SDB on mortality in a patient group with severe CHF referred to a specialised heart failure centre. ...

- Skeletal muscle mass and exercise performance in stable ambulatory patients with heart failure .
- Skeletal muscle mass and exercise performance in stable ambulatory patients with heart failure. ... The purpose of this study was to determine whether skeletal muscle atrophy limits the maximal exercise capacity of stable ambulatory patients with heart failure. Body composition and maximal exercise capacity were measured in 100 stable ambulatory patients with heart failure. ... These findings suggest that exercise intolerance in stable ambulatory patients with heart failure is not due to skeletal muscle atrophy. ...
