Cardiac Tissue Characterization with Ultrasound and : a very early index of diabetic cardiomyopathy? by Yeneir Vera Fernández, Angela Castro Arca, Gerardo Senra, Emilio F Buchaca Faxas, Nicolás A Hernández

“…The tissular characterization was more sensitive to detect precocious changes of the myocardium in diabetic patients (p &lt; 0.001). <strong><br />Conclusions:</strong> The diabetes mellitus is cause of myocardiopaties that originate very precocious alterations in the myocardium of these patients; these changes can be discovered in very early phases by the pulsated Doppler detecting diastolic dysfunction and the tissular characterization by ultrasounds. …”

Pharmacological Therapy in the Heart as an Alternative to Cellular Therapy: A Place for the Brain Natriuretic Peptide? by Nathalie Rosenblatt-Velin, Suzanne Badoux, Lucas Liaudet

“…The discovery that stem cells isolated from different organs have the ability to differentiate into mature beating cardiomyocytes has fostered considerable interest in developing cellular regenerative therapies to treat cardiac diseases associated with the loss of viable myocardium. Clinical studies evaluating the potential of stem cells (from heart, blood, bone marrow, skeletal muscle, and fat) to regenerate the myocardium and improve its functional status indicated that although the method appeared generally safe, its overall efficacy has remained modest. …”
