Newest firstPurpose This study investigates the cardiovascular effects of the synthetic cannabinoid naphthalene-1-yl-(1-pentylindole-3-yl)methanone (JWH-018) in rats. The research aims to evaluate the pharmacologic, cardiologic, biochemical, and histopathological effects of acute and subacute administration at low and high doses. The primary research question is how JWH-018 impacts heart function, blood pressure, ECG patterns…
Open article record in new tab ↗Chronic marijuana use has been increasingly linked to cardiovascular events, though reports of acute myocardial infarction in young adults without traditional risk factors remain limited. A 24-year-old man with a 9-year history of daily marijuana use presented with acute chest pain. Emergency evaluation revealed anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction with 100% proximal left anterior descending coronar…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundAccurate measurement of echocardiographic parameters is crucial for the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and tracking of change over time, however manual assessment is time-consuming and can be imprecise. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reduce clinician burden by automating the time-intensive task of comprehensive measurement of echocardiographic parameters. MethodsWe developed and v…
Open article record in new tab ↗ObjectiveVirtual patient cases are a scalable and engaging tool for training medical professionals. Strategies and frameworks for their implementation in teaching and training settings are few, technically complicated and/or expensive. We developed and evaluated open source and free virtual patient cases to test knowledge acquisition during an echocardiography training program for internal medicine trainees in Hai…
Open article record in new tab ↗At the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress of this year 2018, held in Munich from August 25th to 29th, 4594 abstracts were presented. Of those, 423 (10.8%) belonged to an imaging category. Experts in echocardiography (VD), cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) (CBD), nuclear imaging (OG), and cardiac computed tomography (CT) (PMH) have selected the abstracts in their areas of expertise that were of mos…
Cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) has been reported to play an important role in the regulation of pathogenesis and progression of myocardial infarction (MI). Here we tried to investigate its potential mechanisms. The ratio of infarct size in heart issue was detected by TTC staining, and cardiac functions were calculated according to echocardiographic evaluation. Cell viability in cardiomyocytes was investigated by Ce…
Open article record in new tab ↗Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays important roles in improvement of cardiac function following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the lack of a steerable delivery system of VEGF targeting the infarcted myocardium reduces the therapeutic efficacy and safety. Here, we constructed a series of lentiviral vector systems which could express a fusion protein consisted of a collagen-binding domain (CBD) an…
