Houck W, Broderick T, Cohen S, COHEN N
Surg Endosc . 2002 Apr; 16(4):716. PMID: 11972229
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma is a rare clinical entity that has been described in several previous reports. Although the exact pathophysiology of the disease is unknown, two predominant theories exist: (1)...

Caparas S, Clair M, Krombach R, HENDRICK J, Houck W, Kribbs S, et al.
Crit Care Med . 2000 Feb; 28(1):209-14. PMID: 10667524
Objective: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with left ventricular (LV) failure, neurohormonal system activation, and diminished exercise capacity. Although alterations in systemic vascular resistive properties have been recognized to...

Houck W, Pan L, Kribbs S, Clair M, McDaniel G, Krombach R, et al.
Circulation . 1999 Nov; 100(19):2003-9. PMID: 10556227
Background: Release of growth hormone (GH), putatively through alterations in insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels, has been implicated to influence left ventricular (LV) myocardial structure and function. The objective of...

Krombach R, Clair M, HENDRICK J, Mukherjee R, Houck W, Hebbar L, et al.
Am J Cardiol . 1999 Sep; 84(4A):3L-15L. PMID: 10480440
This study examined the acute effects of amlodipine treatment on left ventricular pump function, systemic hemodynamics, neurohormonal status, and regional blood flow distribution in an animal model of congestive heart...

Spinale F, Coker M, Krombach S, Mukherjee R, Hallak H, Houck W, et al.
Circ Res . 1999 Aug; 85(4):364-76. PMID: 10455065
The development of congestive heart failure (CHF) is associated with left ventricle (LV) dilation and myocardial remodeling. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play a significant role in extracellular remodeling, and recent...

Clair M, Krombach R, HENDRICK J, Houck W, Hebbar L, Kribbs S, et al.
J Card Fail . 1999 Jan; 4(4):311-23. PMID: 9924853
Background: AT1 angiotensin II (AT1 Ang II) receptor activation has been shown to cause increased vascular resistance in the systemic (SVR), pulmonary (PVR), and coronary vasculature which may be of...

Dorman B, Hebbar L, Zellner J, New R, Houck W, Acsell J, et al.
Circulation . 1998 Dec; 98(19 Suppl):II176-83. PMID: 9852901
Background: Pretreatment with potassium channel openers (PCOs) has been shown to provide protective effects in the setting of myocardial ischemia. The goal of the present study was to examine whether...

Spinale F, Mukherjee R, Krombach R, Clair M, HENDRICK J, Houck W, et al.
Circulation . 1998 Oct; 98(16):1666-74. PMID: 9778333
Background: This study examined the effects of chronic amlodipine treatment on left ventricular (LV) pump function, systemic hemodynamics, neurohormonal status, and regional blood flow distribution in an animal model of...

Krombach R, Clair M, HENDRICK J, Houck W, Zellner J, Kribbs S, et al.
Cardiovasc Res . 1998 Sep; 38(3):631-45. PMID: 9747431
Background: AT1 receptor activation has been demonstrated to cause increased vascular resistance properties which may be of particular importance in the setting of congestive heart failure (CHF). The overall goal...
10.
Houck W, Kribbs S, Zellner J, Doscher M, Joshi J, Crawford Jr F, et al.
Ann Thorac Surg . 1998 May; 65(5):1279-83. PMID: 9594851
Background: This study was designed to determine the effects of prolonged hyperkalemic cardioplegic arrest under normothermic or hypothermic conditions with respect to left ventricular myocyte contractile performance and beta-adrenergic responsiveness....
