Immunomodulation of Myocardial Fibrosis
2023, JACC: Basic to Translational ScienceIncreased mast cell density is associated with decreased fibrosis in human atrial tissue
2020, Journal of Molecular and Cellular CardiologyCitation Excerpt :To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess human atrial tissue mast cell density and its association with fibrosis in patients using a substantial cohort of fresh surgical tissue. Previous work has focused on smaller patient groups (n < 30), with a mix of tissue acquired post-mortem [48,49] or intra-operatively [17,18,20,50]. Post-mortem assessment of mast cells in tissue is confounded by hypoxia-induced degranulation after death, impeding detection [51].
Recommendations for Multimodality Cardiac Imaging in Patients with Chagas Disease: A Report from the American Society of Echocardiography in Collaboration With the InterAmerican Association of Echocardiography (ECOSIAC) and the Cardiovascular Imaging Department of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (DIC-SBC)
2018, Journal of the American Society of EchocardiographyCitation Excerpt :Although segmental wall motion abnormalities are one of the most common findings of cardiac involvement in ChD, the mechanism has not been defined. It has been hypothesized that microvascular involvement leads to ischemia in distal areas of the coronary territories.88 The diagnosis of LV segmental lesions is essential, because it permits the identification of individuals at risk for worsening of LV function and ventricular arrhythmias.66,89,90
Prognostic impact of Chagas disease in the United States
2009, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :Nevertheless, Chagas disease reaches the North American continent through immigration making it more frequent than expected. According to an estimation made in 1992 by Milei et al, 370,000 people had T cruzi infection in the United States and 75,000 of those had ChrChC.3 According to the Pan American Health Organization and World Health Organization,52 around 89,221 to 693,302 infected Latin Americans migrated to the United States in the period 1981 to 2005.
