Animal models of human cardiovascular disease, heart failure and ...
1998年7月1日 · In this review, animal models of heart failure are discussed with particular focus on similarities between the animal model and the failing human heart regarding myocardial function as well as molecular and subcellular mechanisms.
Heart to Heart: The Cardiac Comparisons Between Cats and Humans
2024年6月28日 · A human heart weighs around 300 grams, while a feline heart weighs a mere 20-30 grams. Despite their miniature size, a cat’s heart beats much faster than ours, averaging 120-140 beats per minute compared to our 60-100 bpm. This rapid rate allows cats to react quickly, which contributes to their predatory instincts. Diseases
Time spent with cats is never wasted: Lessons learned from feline ...
2018年3月29日 · Therefore, we propose that feline acromegalic cardiomyopathy represents an attractive spontaneously occurring model of the human disease, and its study could bridge the gap between engineered rodent models and the human condition.
Comparison of a Deep Learning Algorithm vs. Humans for Vertebral Heart …
Vertebral heart scale (VHS) is one tool to quantify radiographic cardiac enlargement and to predict the occurrence of congestive heart failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) performing VHS measurements when compared with two board-certified specialists.
Animal Models for Cardiac Research | SpringerLink
4 天之前 · 6.2.2 The Canine Transplantation Model. The anatomy of the canine heart is similar to that of the human heart (for more details see Chap. 14). As mentioned above, the dog heart has an extensive collateral circulation connecting the left and right coronary circulation. In contrast, nonathletic humans elicit few bridging collaterals.
Feline myocardial transcriptome in health and in hypertrophic ...
2023年3月16日 · Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease in cats, characterized by primary left ventricular hypertrophy. Feline HCM closely resembles human HCM and is suggested as translational animal model for the human disease.
What is the Difference Between Human Heart and Animal Heart
2023年8月8日 · The main difference between human heart and animal heart is that the human heart is a four-chambered, muscular organ composed of two atria and two ventricles, whereas the mammalian and bird hearts contain two atria and two ventricles, and other animals have hearts with different structures.
Comparative Cardiac Anatomy | SpringerLink
In this chapter, we present the comparative cardiac anatomies of several of the commonly employed animal models for preclinical research (dog, pig, and sheep). General comparisons focus on several specific anatomical features: the atria, ventricles, valves, coronary system, lymphatics, and the conduction system.
Cat Anatomy vs. Human Anatomy - Dissection of Prince Henry
The anatomy of cats and the anatomy of humans are more similar than different. This is why we dissect cats in a human anatomy class rather than any other animal. One major similarity is the four chambered heart. Both cats and humans have this very sophisticated heart design. Cats also have similar respiratory systems.
Echocardiographic Assessment of Spontaneously Occurring Feline ...
Background Necropsy studies in domestic cats have suggested the occurrence of a primary cardiac disease resembling hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in humans. We used two-dimensional echocardiography to define morphological and functional features of HCM during life in 46 domestic cats evaluated in a subspecialty veterinary clinic.
