29 Therefore, ES cells can be said to show cellular maturation, successful engraftment, and myocardial function. There are several problems associated with the use of human ES cells: the ethical ...

The MB type is specific to myocardial cells, whereas MM and BB are specific to skeletal muscle and brain tissue, respectively. The CK level increases approximately 3 to 4 hours after MI and ...

Classical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction include sudden chest pain (typically radiating to the left arm or left side of the neck), shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, palpitations ...

The Law of LaPlace describes the factors that determine left ventricular wall stress, which is a major determinant of myocardial oxygen demand. Left ventricular wall stress is the force acting ...

These findings open new doors for macrophage-based therapies, which could enhance myocardial repair without relying on exogenous stem cell transplantation. Read the full story here.

BACKGROUND: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and albumin level were considered to be related to the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study aims to ...
