The association between neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio and poor outcomes following infant cardiac surgeryBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 21 - Trang 1-8 - 2021
Peng Gao, Jinping Liu, Xu Wang, Peiyao Zhang, Yu Jin, Liting Bai, Yixuan Li
Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a valuable indicator for evaluating inflammation and adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of perioperative NLR with clinical outcomes in infants undergoing congenital heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We performed a retrospective review of 424 consecutive infants (≤ 1 year) undergoing cardi...... hiện toàn bộ
Left atrial volume index as an independent determinant of pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic organic mitral regurgitationBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 16 - Trang 1-9 - 2016
Nithima Ratanasit, Khemajira Karaketklang, Rungroj Krittayaphong
The common pathophysiological consequences of chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) are left atrial (LA) remodeling/dilatation and pulmonary hypertension (PH). We aimed to study the association between LA volume (LAV) and PH in patients with chronic organic MR. We prospectively studied 154 patients (age 55.0 ± 16.4 years, 39.6 % female) with isolated moderate to severe chronic organic MR. Severity of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Enhanced stent visualization system for percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with chronic kidney disease: effects on contrast media volume and radiation exposureBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 22 - Trang 1-9 - 2022

We aimed to assess the impact of using enhanced stent visualization (ESV) systems on contrast media volume and radiation dose in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Coronary heart disease (CHD) is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD), as they share a similar pathological pathway. In addition, the iodinated contrast media used...... hiện toàn bộ
Flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery: an investigation of methods requiring further standardizationBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 7 Số 1 - 2007

Abstract
Background
In order to establish a consistent method for brachial artery reactivity assessment, we analyzed commonly used approaches to the test and their effects on the magnitude and time-course of flow mediated dilation (FMD), and on test variability and repeatability. As a popular and...... hiện toàn bộ
Utility of routine exercise treadmill testing early after percutaneous coronary interventionBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 7 - Trang 1-8 - 2007

There have been few prospective studies examining the utility of routine exercise treadmill testing (ETT) early after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The objective of this study was to examine the impact of a routine ETT strategy early after PCI on follow-up cardiac events and procedures. We examined 136 patients who underwent routine ETT at 6 weeks post-PCI in the ADORE trial. The ETT w...... hiện toàn bộ
Renal resistive index and long-term outcome in patients with coronary artery diseaseBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 20 - Trang 1-9 - 2020

The study aimed to evaluate the application of intra-renal Doppler flow indices for the prediction of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) during 24-month follow-up in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) subject to coronary angiography (CA). This prospective study comprised 111 consecutive patients with stable and unstable CAD (68.5% men; median age 65 years), referred ...... hiện toàn bộ
Inverted stress- induced cardiomyopathy as a unusual variant of acute heart failure after cesarean delivery- a case reportBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 16 - Trang 1-6 - 2016
Anna Ledakowicz-Polak, Jarosław Bartodziej, Agata Majos, Marzenna Zielińska
Stress- induced cardiomyopathy is acute, reversible left ventricle mainly apical dysfunction in patients with normal coronary angiography. Rarely it regards basal segments, therefore defined as “inverted stress- induced cardiomyopathy”. While classic form mostly affects postmenopausal women, inverted variant occurs essentially in younger females, always triggered by stress. It can also develop aft...... hiện toàn bộ
Physiological benefits evaluated by quantitative flow ratio in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction who underwent percutaneous coronary interventionBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 20 - Trang 1-9 - 2020
Jiaxin Zhong, Qin Chen, Long Chen, Zhen Ye, Huang Chen, Jianmin Sun, Juchang Hong, Mingfang Ye, Yuanming Yan, Lianglong Chen, Yukun Luo
To explore the clinical benefits of revascularization in patients with different levels of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from the perspective of quantitative flow ratio (QFR). Patients who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and one-year angiographic follow-up were retrospectively screened and computed by QFR analysis. Based on their LVEF, 301 eligible patient...... hiện toàn bộ
Temporal trends in treatment strategies and clinical outcomes among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and ST-elevation myocardial infarctions: results from the Bremen STEMI registryBMC Cardiovascular Disorders - Tập 22 - Trang 1-12 - 2022

Although the detrimental effects of advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) on prognosis in coronary artery disease is known, there are few data on the efficacy and safety of modern interventional therapies and medications in patients with advanced CKD, because this special patient cohort is often excluded or underrepresented in randomized trials. In the present study all patients admitted with ST-e...... hiện toàn bộ
