Diabetic cardiomyopathy: a hyperglycaemia- and insulin-resistance-induced heart disease
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Diabetologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s00125-017-4390-4
Abstract: Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterised in its early stages by diastolic relaxation abnormalities and later by clinical heart failure in the absence of dyslipidaemia, hypertension and coronary artery disease. Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinaemia and hyperglycaemia are each… read more here.

Potential Common Pathogenic Pathways for the Left Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy (LVNC)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Pediatric Cardiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00246-018-1882-z
Abstract: Ventricular trabeculation and compaction are two essential morphogenetic events for generating a functionally competent ventricular wall. A significant reduction in trabeculation is usually associated with hypoplastic wall and ventricular compact zone deficiencies, which commonly leads… read more here.
