Sulforaphane improves redox homeostasis and right ventricular contractility in a model of pulmonary hypertension

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance, imposing overload on the right ventricle (RV) and imbalance of redox state. Data express a benefit of SFN treatment on the cardiac function of rats with PAH associated with the cellular redox state. Treatment with SFN (2.5

Orthostatic hypotension onset after invasive procedure?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

If it does not sense a native rhythm (perhaps from lead fracture or displacement), it will attempt to pace at 60 beats per minute, which can cause unnecessary pacing spikes interrupting normal cardiac function. A few days later, midodrine and fludrocortisone were held due to hypertension and the patient was discharged.

Cardiac function in pregnant women with preeclampsia

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

While it has been demonstrated that PE may be a consequence of maternal cardiovascular maladaptation, the exact role of maternal cardiac function remains to be determined. Maximal tricuspid regurgitation velocity [2.9 were found. m/s] and derived systolic pulmonary pressure [38 (29.544.5)mmHg] mmHg] were borderline elevated.
