MYOCARDIAL FIBROSIS IN HEART FAILURE: ANTI-FIBROTIC THERAPIES AND THE ROLE OF CARDIOVASCULAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN DRUG TRIALS

Myocardial Fibrosis in Heart Failure: Anti-Fibrotic Therapies and the Role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Drug Trials

Dehydrated Abstract All heart muscle diseases that cause chronic heart failure finally converge into one dreaded pathological process that is myocardial fibrosis.Myocardial fibrosis predicts major adverse cardiovascular events and death, yet we are still missing the targeted therapies capable of halting and/or reversing its progression.Fundamentall

Identifying the parameters of photovoltaic cells using Gaussian bare-bone imperialist competitive algorithm with opposition-based learning mechanism

Extracting the precise parameters of photovoltaic (PV) cells has become plastic bottle very important for simulation, evaluation, control, and optimization of PV systems.However, it is still a challenging task to accurately and reliably extract the parameters of PV cells.To solve this difficult problem, in this paper, a new meta-heuristic algorithm
