Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleSoluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type I and Dranulysin as Immunological Markers in Congestive Heart FailureSimone de Lima e Silva Deo, Maria Do Carmo Valente De Crasto, Alda Maria Da-Cruz et al.Previous studies have shown that circulating levels of cytokines are increased in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), resulting in myocardial depression. In this work, we have determined serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ by ELISA, detected sTNFR-I by dot ELISA, as well as TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and granulysin mRNA in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT-PCR in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,773 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMMP-9 is a Potential Prognostic Marker of Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients with Coronary Artery DiseaseMikhail Aleksandrovich Popov, Anastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Dmitry Valerievich Shumakov et al.Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) emerges as a promising prognostic marker for assessing left ventricular remodeling in patients with coronary artery disease, particularly in the context of Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) complicated by left ventricular aneurysm.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeart Rate Variability Analysis in Different Age and Pathological ConditionsM.E.S. Chelladurai, N. KumaravelProblem statement: Heart Rate Variability (HRV) has been used as a measure of mortality primarily with patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. The analysis of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) demands specific capabilities which are not provided either by parametric or nonparametric conventional estimation methods. The Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively estimates the Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) of nonlinear nonstationary signals. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 4 Aug 2011 · 6,818 accessesView PDF Cite
