... tissue injury. This study aimed to observe the changes of CCMR in the hearts of different month-old rats. Methods: We selected 2-, 8-, 16-, and 24-month-old rats as the research objects to monitor the changes of CCMR in rats with aging. After acute myocardial infarction, lectin-FITC was injected...

..., which was initiated in 1990 and has followed an age-homogenous cohort of West Jerusalem residents born between June 1920 and May 1921. The methodology has been described elsewhere in detail [ 11,12 ]. Our study examined data from the third-most recent phase of data collection, which took place in 2005...

...Jan O. Mangual; Daniela Föll; Bernd Jung; Gianni Pedrizzetti; Arash Kheradvar Objectives: This study investigates the effect of aging on the radial viscoelastic behavior of the left ventricle (LV) based on a previously validated model that uses myocardial tissue phase mapping (TPM) of cine phase...

...Masahiro Hasegawa; Keiichi Nagao; Yasuhiro Kinoshita; David Rodbard; Ayako Asahina We measured pulse wave velocity (PWV) and pulse transmission time (PTT) in 29 patients with hypertension, ranging in age from 37 to 73 years, in a series of 36 normal subjects with the same age range...

...Shigemitsu Kurihara The plasma nicotine level and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated after cigarette smoking in young (group I, 17 men) and middle-aged habitual smokers (group II, 17 men). The amount of increase in plasma nicotine concentration after smoking was related to the percent change...

...A. Menotti; F. Seccareccia; M. Lanti; S. Giampaoli; F. Dima A pool of two Italian rural population samples made up of 1,712 men aged 40-59 at entry was studied in 1960 and than followed up for 25 years. The multivariate analysis of the first major coronary event using the Cox model showed, in men...

...Anna M. Grandi; Achille Venco; Franco Barzizza; Filippo Scalise; Paolo Pantaleo; Giorgio Finardi Using digitized M-mode echograms, we evaluated the influence of sex on age-related changes of left ventricular (LV) anatomy and function in a normal population (75 males and 75 females, subdivided...

... (mean age = 76) were suitable for the study. Congestive heart failure, sudden cardiac death, thromboembolism and atypical chest pain were found in 68, 16, 8 and 8% of cases, respectively. Ventricular premature contractions (60%), right bundle branch block (32%), left anterior hemiblock (28%), atrial...

... infarction (AMI) was a major predictor of left ventricular (LV) remodeling. We sought to clarify the effect of aging on the postinfarction inflammatory response and LV remodeling. Methods: We studied 102 patients who underwent primary angioplasty for a first anterior Q-wave AMI. Serum CRP levels, plasma...

...Hakon Wetterqvist; Gunnar Grimby; Bodil Lernfelt; Alvar Svanborg The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological response to an exercise test in 75- to 77-year-old women and men. Out of a systematically chosen and representative sample of 1,245 persons from a population at the age...
