Open AccessAssociation of chemerin mRNA expression in human epicardial adipose tissue with coronary atherosclerosis
Growing evidence suggests that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may play a key role in the pathogenesis and development of coronary artery disease (CAD) by producing several inflammatory adipokines. Chemerin, a...

Open AccessRole of Kir6.2 subunits of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in endotoxemia-induced cardiac dysfunction
Cardiac dysfunction is well-described in endotoxemia and diagnosed in up to 60% of patients with endotoxic shock. ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are critical to cardiac function. This study investigates ...

Open AccessUsefulness of the heart-rate variability complex for predicting cardiac mortality after acute myocardial infarction
Previous studies indicate that decreased heart-rate variability (HRV) is related to the risk of death in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the conventional indices of HRV have poor pre...
