Expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (2008)

Kobayashi, Makoto, Nakamura, Kazufumi, Kusano, Kengo Fukushima, Nakamura, Yoichi, Ohta-Ogo, Keiko, Nagase, Satoshi, ...

Immunological factors have been involved in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The cytotoxic action of macrophages is one of the main factors causing cardiac myocyte damage. Monocyte...

Arterial Stiffening is Associated with Exercise Intolerance and Hyperventilatory Response in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (2008)

Kenki Enko, Satoru Sakuragi, Mikio Kakishita, Keisuke Ohkawa, Satoshi Nagase, Kazufumi Nakamura, ...

Exercise intolerance is a common feature of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Arterial stiffness is increased in CAD patients; however, the association between arterial stiffness and...

Usefulness of body surface mapping to differentiate patients with Brugada syndrome from patients with asymptomatic Brugada syndrome. (2006)

Hisamatsu, Kenichi, Kusano, Kengo Fukushima, Morita, Hiroshi, Takenaka, Shiho, Nagase, Satoshi, Nakamura, Kazufumi, ...

We attempted to determine the usefulness of body surface mapping (BSM) for differentiating patients with Brugada syndrome (BS) from patients with asymptomatic Brugada syndrome (ABS)....

Hepatocyte growth factor gene therapy reduces ventricular arrhythmia in animal models of myocardial ischemia. (2006)

Yumoto, Akihisa, Kusano, Kengo Fukushima, Nakamura, Kazufumi, Hashimoto, Katsushi, Aoki, Motokuni, Morishita, Ryuichi, ...

It was recently reported that gene therapy using hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has the potential to preserve cardiac function after myocardial ischemia. We speculated that this HGF gene therapy...

Low-dose isoproterenol for repetitive ventricular arrhythmia in patients with Brugada syndrome (2006)

Watanabe, Atsuyuki, Kusano, Kengo Fukushima, Morita, Hiroshi, Miura, Daiji, Sumida, Wakako, Hiramatsu, Shigeki, ...

Aims Arrhythmic storm or repetitive ventricular arrhythmia (VA) has been occasionally observed in Brugada syndrome (BS). A beta-adrenergic stimulator [isoproterenol (ISP)] has been reported to...

X-ray Diffraction from a Left Ventricular Wall of Rat Heart

Yagi, Naoto, Shimizu, Juichiro, Mohri, Satoshi, Araki, Jun'ichi, Nakamura, Kazufumi, Okuyama, Hiroshi, ...

We studied x-ray diffraction from the left ventricular wall of an excised, perfused whole heart of a rat using x rays from the third-generation synchrotron radiation facility, SPring-8. With the beam...
