Live Webinar February 23, 2021 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM (EST) Zoom Registration Form Below Cardiac disease is the main cause of death worldwide. Insufficient regeneration of the adult mammalian heart owing to the lack of cardiomyocyte proliferation and scarce therapeutic options for patients with advanced cardiac disease
Join us LIVE for a hands-on demonstration of the Doppler Flow Velocity System. You will learn: Measurement for Cardiac systolic and diastolic function Serial measurements in response to interventions Severity of transverse aortic constriction (TAC) Coronary flow distribution Hyperemic velocity responses Pulse Wave Velocity from two aortic locations simultaneously New
Aging sharply increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. Even in individuals without overt cardiovascular disease, aging is associated with increased prevalence of cardiac hypertrophy, impaired diastolic function and reduced myocardial performance. Diastolic dysfunction is a common contributor to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF),
This webinar hosted by Scintica Instrumentation looked primarily at inflammation and the resolution of inflammation in the preclinical mouse model. Physiological short-term inflammation is a primary signal of the immune system activation that is an important defense system of the body. If inflammation remains activated for an extended period of time, in
In this webinar Dr. Lakshmi Santhanam an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine and Biomedical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine discussed her most recent work in vascular aging. Dr. Santhanam uses a catalytically inactive knock-in mouse model to look at the effects of vascular aging by
Almost one third of deaths world-wide can be attributed to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). More than half of those cases are related to systemic arterial hypertension (SAH). There are several risk factors that contribute to the development of SAH. Type II diabetes causes structural and functional damage to arterial walls, which leads to
This free webinar hosted by Scintica Instrumentation looked at the following: 1) Fibrosis– general introduction, 2) signaling pathways regulating cardiac fibrosis, 3) potential targets of cardiac fibrosis 4) techniques to measure cardiac fibrosis including using Doppler Flow Velocity measurements Slide Deck The focus of
Recent advances in targeted cancer therapies has led to the development of a number of novel approaches that have demonstrated some clinical advantages in terms of prolonging overall survival and progression free survival. One of these approaches involves inhibiting angiogenesis (the growth of blood vessels from a pre-existing vasculature), using therapies that
This free webinar hosted by Scintica Instrumentation provided an overview of performing “Doppler” measurements for preclinical cardiovascular assessment. It discussed the physical principles and technology used to acquire these measurements, how these techniques are employed in the preclinical field, and a short summary of the history behind the technology that so many
The Integrative Cardiovascular Physiology laboratory at Colorado State University investigates the underlying causes of cardiovascular abnormalities in the settings of obesity and nutrient excess. Obese individuals are at an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD)1. Prior to overt clinical manifestation of CVD, the arteries of obese individuals (and other at-risk populations) begin to
