MF was present in four athletes (range 1-8 g) and not present in five athletes. MF was located near the insertion points of the right ventricular free wall on the left ventricle in three athletes and in the epicardial lateral wall in one athlete. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Congestive Heart Failure

  We describe a 27-year-old woman with a 6 year history of severe polymyositis and persistent elevation of creatine phosphokinase-MB isoenzyme who suddenly developed congestive heart failure and bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Swelling

  […] fibrosis (EMF) has an insidious onset, and symptoms relate to the specific chambers and valves where the disease is most extensive, including the following: When right ventricular involvement or tricuspid regurgitation predominates, lower extremity swelling [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Its symptoms include chest pain, some abdominal swelling, nausea and fatigue. This usually indicates an array of heart problems, with progressive heart failure being a prime example. [wisegeekhealth.com]

• Myxedema

  A case of myxedema with diffuse myocardial fibrosis proven by endomyocardial biopsy. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Weakness

  […] agonists suggest that some other agents in this class, such as lisuride and terguride, may not have similar consequences. 15 The finding of a significantly greater mitral tenting area in the non-ergot group than in the control group could be evidence of a weak [doi.org]

• Heart Disease

  Abstract Myocardial fibrosis is one of the most common histopathological lesions found in chronic heart diseases. Progressive development of myocardial fibrosis will cause heart failure, an extremely debilitating and life threatening condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These include four anatomical and clinical entities : Chronic ischemic heart disease stabile angina pectoralis Acute ischemic heart disease unstabile angina pectoralis myocardium infarct sudden death Etiology : coronary artery atherosclerosis (90 %), [pathologyatlas.ro]

• Tachycardia

  We describe a 27-year-old woman with a 6 year history of severe polymyositis and persistent elevation of creatine phosphokinase-MB isoenzyme who suddenly developed congestive heart failure and bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  With these studies, it is possible to determine the number of arrhythmic morphologies, the ease of tachycardia induction, tolerance to tachycardic events, and the capacity for the tachycardia to develop into lethal arrhythmias. [af-ablation.org]

• Cardiomegaly

  A tachycardia of 145 beats per min and radiological evidence of cardiomegaly indicated involvement of the heart, but an ECG failed to show signs of myocarditis or cardiac hypertrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Therefore, most of these cases may be a sequela of myocarditis, and more correctly termed post-myocarditic cardiomegaly. [link.springer.com]

• Suggestibility

  It is suggested that, when drug induced pneumonitis is noted, careful screening of left ventricular function should be performed in order to diagnose myocardial fibrosis and subsequent cardiac failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Abstract Limited evidence suggests that myocardial fibrosis might be associated with dietary cardiovascular risk factors. [vuir.vu.edu.au]

Furthermore, the level of NT-proBNP was reduced significantly after TEA plus OMT treatment. Consistent with echocardiography parameters, the LVEF measured by CMR also was increased markedly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The no-intent-to-treat group was randomized into 2 subgroups: group ND-NT (no dysfunction-no treatment), in which patients received all necessary, guideline-based treatment for their condition but no treatment for cardiomyopathy or heart failure; and [neurologyadvisor.com]

A longer steroid treatment duration was found to be associated with a lower age‐related increase in myocardial fibrosis burden. [musculardystrophynews.com]

These have yielded new insights into disease prognosis and response to treatment. [heart.bmj.com]

CMR is superior to conventional echocardiography for the detection of myocardial fibrosis in desmin-related cardiomyopathy, which may be useful to detect early cardiac involvement and predict the patient prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There are multiple types of myocardial fibrosis that occur in response to different pathophysiologic stimuli. Recent advances in imaging technology have made detection and quantification of the types of myocardial fibrosis possible. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Myocardial fibrosis is the pathophysiological hallmark of failing heart. [kclpure.kcl.ac.uk]

Inhibition of T-cell factor (TCF)/β-catenin-mediated transcription with ICG-001 or genetic loss of β-catenin also prevented TGF-β-induced myofibroblasts formation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The bottom line is that this shows for the first time that cardiac fibrosis is preventable.” [chemdiv.com]
