Patients with mild heart failure (HF) who are clinically compensated may have normal left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV). Despite this, altered intra-ventricular flow patterns have been recognized in these subjects. We hypothesized that, compared with normal LVs, flow in myopathic LVs would demonstrate a smaller...

The T-tubule system in ventricular cardiomyocytes is essential for synchronous Ca2+ handling, and, therefore, efficient contraction. T-tubular remodelling is a common feature of heart disease. In this review, we discuss whether t-tubular remodelling can be reversed and which factors may be implicated in this process. In particular, we focus on the interaction between mechanical load variation and T-tubule structure and function. What is the evidence of this relationship?... Read the free full article
