The effects of nicotine (NIC) on normal hearts are fairly well established, yet its effects on hearts displaying familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have not been tested. We studied both the acute and chronic effects of NIC on a transgenic (TG) mouse model of FHC caused by a mutation in

In order to determine the influence of tobacco smoking on the course and long-term prognosis of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, we conducted a retrospective study of 111 patients (95 men and 16 women, mean age 45.5 +/- 8.1 years) who had undergone cardiac catheterization between January 1970 and

Cigarette smoking is an important risk factor for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The health risk associated with smoking can be aggravated by obesity. Smoking might also trigger cardiomyocyte (CM) apoptosis. Given that CM apoptosis has been implicated as a

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a rare complication of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), an effective and safe treatment for severe cases of depression and psychosis. There are reports on 16 patients who developed TC after ECT, and these were predominantly female patients treated with

The pharmacologic treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy encompasses measures such as temporary administration of amino acids and calories for those who may be undernourished and avoidance of drugs such as alcohol, nicotine, amphetamines and high doses of tricyclic antidepressants. Anticoagulants

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited disease that exhibits sex differences on clinical presentation. The present study aimed to investigate the sex differences associated with ARVC by conducting an integrated bioinformatics analysis. The GSE29819 gene expression

A 17-year-old with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) presented to the emergency department with symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and tactile fevers. She was initially admitted to the cardiac floor, and later transferred to the cardiothoracic intensive care unit on day 5 of

Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (anti-M7) in sera from patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis recognize, besides mitochondrial antigens, bacterial sarcosine dehydrogenase. The common target antigen was identified as the covalently bound FAD of mitochondrial and bacterial flavoenzymes.

BACKGROUND Smokers without an intention to completely quit smoking often try to reduce their daily tobacco consumption. However, smoking reduction is not associated with reduced risk of all-cause mortality. The aim of this systematic literature review of data was to expose relations between

Smokeless tobacco (SLT) products are consumed by millions of people in over 130 countries around the world. Consumption of SLT has been estimated to cause a number of diseases accounting to more than 0.65 million deaths per year. There is sufficient epidemiological evidence on the association of SLT

Chronic alcoholism can progress to alcoholic cardiomyopathy characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired ventricular contractility. Nicotine abuse continues to remain a serious risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, little is know regarding the combined effects. This study was

Manufactured tobacco contains over 4, 000 toxic substances, but only a few exert adverse cardiovascular effects. Nicotine and its metabolites, carbon monoxide, thiocyanate and some aromatic amines play a strong, although different, role to determine cardiovascular damage. Of these substances,

Cardiomyopathy related to ethanol abuse is often accompanied by cigarette use. To examine if the major cardioactive component may intensify the abnormal function and composition induced by chronic ethanol, nicotine was administered orally, 2.5 mg bid, to a canine model receiving 36% of calories as

The tobacco smoke intake by the smoker or by the non-smoker is a toxic product and a risk factor for diseases as acne in teenagers, respiratory and non respiratory infection, or histiocytosis X. The four main diseases are: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which is more 80% related to tobacco;
