Age is a major risk factor for the development of cardiac problems. The ageing process causes significant changes to cardiac structure and function. These are linked with the elderly heart’s diminished ability to respond to cardiac demand and associa... Read More about Age-associated changes to calcium handling proteins across the whole heart.

Uremic cardiomyopathy is characterised by loss of the cardioprotective effects of insulin (2012)
Journal Article
Semple, D. J., Bhandari, S., & Seymour, A.-M. L. (2012). Uremic cardiomyopathy is characterised by loss of the cardioprotective effects of insulin. AJP - Renal Physiology, 303(9), F1275-F1286. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajprenal.00048.2012

Chronic kidney disease is associated with a unique cardiomyopathy, characterised by a combination of structural and cellular remodelling, and an enhanced susceptibility to ischaemia-reperfusion injury. This may represent dysfunction of the reperfusio... Read More about Uremic cardiomyopathy is characterised by loss of the cardioprotective effects of insulin.

Development of microfluidic devices for analysis of cardiac tissue ex vivo (2012)
Thesis
Cheah, L. T. (2012). Development of microfluidic devices for analysis of cardiac tissue ex vivo. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4227445

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–based (Generation 1) and glass–based (Generation 2) microfluidic devices for heart tissue maintenance have been developed. Rat and human heart biopsies were electrically–paced in a 37 oC environment constantly perfused wit... Read More about Development of microfluidic devices for analysis of cardiac tissue ex vivo.

Impact of dietary manipulation on cardiac hypertrophy (2012)
Thesis
Butler, T. J. P. (2012). Impact of dietary manipulation on cardiac hypertrophy. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4219424

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a significant risk factor for the development of heart failure (HF), the incidence of which is increased by obesity. Diets high in fat and sugar have been linked with the development of the metabolic syndrome and... Read More about Impact of dietary manipulation on cardiac hypertrophy.
