| Abstract |
Eicosanoids (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxane A2 and other metabolites of C-20 polyunsaturated fatty acids) have numerous effects in the cardiovascular system. Direct inotropic actions have been repeatedly described, but appear in only very few cases to be due to direct modification of the inotropic state of the heart. Specific eicosanoid receptors have been identified on the surface of the sarcolemmal membrane. Signal transduction pathways in the cardiac myocyte involve the adenylate cyclase/cAMP system or stimulation of the phospholipase C/IP3 pathway. In general, concentrations of eicosanoids which affect myocardial contractility are higher as the response is less predictable than the effects on platelet function or vessel tone. Therefore, eicosanoid-induced extracardiac effects may be superimposed to more direct changes in the contractile state of the intact heart in vitro or in vivo. In contrast to non-failing hearts, there is a significant improvement of the contractile function in contractile failure ("stunning", ischemia, congestive heart failure) by vasodilating prostaglandins (e.g., PGI2). The mechanism of this action is still unknown. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 June 2018.
All research outputs
#7,452,489
of 22,783,848 outputs
Outputs from Basic Research in Cardiology
#180
of 644 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#12,488
of 61,637 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Basic Research in Cardiology
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,783,848 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 644 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 61,637 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
