Hyaluronan (HA) is an extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan (GAG) involved in cell motility, proliferation, tissue remodeling, development, differentiation, inflammation, tumor progression, and invasion and controls vessel thickening in cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the control of HA synthesis could permit the fine-tuning of cell behavior, but the mechanisms that regulate HA synthesis are...

TRPA1 and Sympathetic Activation Contribute to Increased Risk of Triggered Cardiac Arrhythmias in Hypertensive Rats Exposed to Diesel Exhaust
|
|
Conclusions: These findings suggest that a single exposure to diesel exhaust increases the sensitivity of the heart to triggered arrhythmias. It appears the gaseous components play an important role in the pro-arrhythmic response, which may be mediated by activation of TRPA1, and subsequent sympathetic modulation. As such, toxic inhalants may...

Baseline Bâ€Type Natriuretic Peptide: A Genderâ€Specific Predictor of Procedureâ€Outcome in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Catheter Ablation
|
|
Conclusion: Baseline BNP was found to be an independent predictor of AF recurrence in male patients undergoing ablation. This correlation between BNP and AF recurrence was not observed in females. Thus, BNP plays a genderâ€specific prognostic role in AF. (J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol, Vol. pp. 1â€7) (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology)
