Association of myocardial energetic efficiency with circumferential and longitudinal left ventricular myocardial function in subjects with increased body mass index (The FATCOR study)
Mancusi, Costantino; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; De Luca, Nicola; Halland, Hilde; de Simone, Giovanni; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lower myocardial mechanic-energetic efficiency (MEEi), expressed as stroke volume/heart rate ratio (SV/HR) in mL/s/g of the left ventricular (LV) mass, is associated with the incidence of heart failure in subjects with ... -
Cardiac adaptation to hypertension in adult female Dahl salt-sensitive rats is dependent on ovarian function, but loss of ovarian function does not predict early maladaptation
Ludvigsen, Stian; Mancusi, Costantino; Kildal, Simon; de Simone, Giovanni; Gerdts, Eva; Ytrehus, Kirsti (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-08)Aim of study was to examine experimentally the adult female hypertensive heart in order to determine the role of ovary function in the response of the heart to salt‐dependent hypertension. Dahl salt‐sensitive rats, age 12 ... -
New Evidence About Aortic Valve Stenosis and Cardiovascular Hemodynamics
Mancusi, Costantino; Bahlmann, Edda; Basile, Christian; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common degenerative valvular disease in western word. In patients with severe AS, small changes in aortic valve area can lead to large changes in hemodynamics. The correct understanding of ...
