nickel and Cardiomegaly

nickel has been researched along with Cardiomegaly in 2 studies

Nickel: A trace element with the atomic symbol Ni, atomic number 28, and atomic weight 58.69. It is a cofactor of the enzyme UREASE.
nickel ion : A nickel atom having a net electric charge.
nickel atom : Chemical element (nickel group element atom) with atomic number 28.

Cardiomegaly: Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The aim of this study was to investigate the role of angiotensin II (Ang II), a major inducer of cardiac hypertrophy, in the reexpression of T-type channel in left ventricular hypertrophied myocytes."3.72Angiotensin II signaling pathways mediate expression of cardiac T-type calcium channels. ( Capuano, V; Coulombe, A; Deroubaix, E; Ferron, L; Renaud, JF; Ruchon, Y, 2003)
"These diseases induce cardiac hypertrophy and increases in [Ca(2+)] are known to be an essential proximal signal for activation of hypertrophic genes."1.38Ca(2+) influx through L-type Ca(2+) channels and transient receptor potential channels activates pathological hypertrophy signaling. ( Barr, LA; Berretta, RM; Gao, H; Houser, SR; Kubo, H; Makarewich, CA; Molkentin, JD; Wang, F; Wang, W; Zhang, H, 2012)
