Differential behaviors of atrial versus ventricular fibroblasts: a potential role for platelet-derived growth factor in atrial-ventricular remodeling differences

B Burstein, E Libby, A Calderone, S Nattel - Circulation, 2008 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— In various heart disease paradigms, atria show stronger fibrotic responses
than ventricles. The possibility that atrial and ventricular fibroblasts respond differentially to …

Suicidal attempts and ideation among children and adolescents in US emergency departments, 2007-2015

B Burstein, H Agostino, B Greenfield - JAMA pediatrics, 2019 - jamanetwork.com
Discussion| Obesity changes the association between total body weight and fat-free mass.
