Cardiac fibroblasts are the most populous nonmyocyte cell type within the mature heart and are required for extracellular matrix synthesis and deposition, generation of the cardiac skeleton, and to electrically insulate the atria from the ventricles. Significantly, cardiac fibroblasts have also been shown to play an important role in cardiomyocyte growth and expansion of the ventricular chambers during heart development. Although there are currently no cardiac fibroblast-restricted molecular markers, it is generally envisaged that the majority of the cardiac fibroblasts are derived from the proepicardium via epithelial...

Cell therapy is a promising approach to improve cardiac function in patients with ischemic heart disease. Beneficial effects of cell therapy have been shown in experimental studies and clinical trials. However, with current treatment strategies the therapeutic effect is limited. In the current article, critical aspects of cell therapy are discussed: cell type, the state of ischemic heart disease and the condition of cells at the time of treatment. Because treatment options of native cells by systemic pharmacotherapy are limited, we propose a concept of ex vivo preconditioning to overcome functional cell impairment and ...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined by either microalbuminuria (MA) or a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), is associated with an increased risk of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The presence of both abnormalities might identify a subgroup of adults at particularly high risk of PAD. Accordingly, we sought to evaluate the combined effect of a reduced eGFR and MA on the prevalence of PAD among United States adults. United States adults ≥40 years old (n = 6,951) participating in the 1999 to 2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were cross-classified into 4 groups according to the pres...

Optimization of the interventricular pacing delay (VV) in cardiac resynchronization therapy is time-consuming and not routinely performed.

Several methods for optimizing the VV using electrocardiographic or echocardiographic measurements were performed. The effect of programming an empirical prefixed VV of 0 ms was also evaluated. Invasive first derivative of left ventricular (LV) pressure over time (dP/dt max) was measured at several VV values, and the hemodynamic response that could be obtained by each...
