Acute myocardial infarction: Intracoronary application of nitroglycerin and streptokinase
Tập 2 Số 5 - Trang 354-363 - 1979
AbstractIn five patients with acute myocardial infarction, the effects of both
intracoronary nitroglycerin (NTG) and subsequent intracoronary streptokinase
application were evaluated. In addition, transluminal recanalization was
performed in one of these patients. Injection of NTG into the infarct‐related
coronary artery resulted in improved distal filling of the subtotally occluded
left circumfle...
Pregnancy in patients with heart disease: Experience with 1,000 cases
Tập 26 Số 3 - Trang 135-142 - 2003
AbstractBackground: Previously, the high maternal mortality in cardiac patients
who became pregnant prompted the assertion: Women with an abnormal heart should
not become pregnant. This long‐standing notion needs to be revised
today.Hypothesis: The study was undertaken to ascertain the experience with a
large series of pregnant women with cardiac disease cared for in the same
referral center.Metho...
Biology of the Endothelium
Tập 20 Số S2 - 1997
The endothelium releases factors that control vascular relaxation and
contraction, thrombogenesis and fibrinolysis, and platelet activation and
inhibition. Maintaining the functional integrity of the endothelium, therefore,
is critical for the preservation of blood flow and the prevention of thrombosis.
This article reviews the primary endothelium‐dependent substances that promote
either relaxatio...
Interleukin‐6 and acute coronary syndrome
Tập 24 Số 11 - Trang 701-704 - 2001
AbstractThe designation of atherosclerosis as a chronic inflammatory process
represents an exciting and logical paradigm shift for cardiologists. Plasma
concentrations of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and its hepatic by‐product C‐reactive
protein (CRP) appear to reflect the intensity of occult plaque inflammation and
by inference may determine vulnerability to rupture. Indeed, circulating IL‐6
levels are e...
Lack of Efficacy of Drug Therapy in Preventing Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Recurrence: A Meta‐analysis
Tập 37 Số 7 - Trang 434-439 - 2014
AbstractBackgroundEfficacy of chronic drug therapy in prevention of
stress‐induced cardiomyopathy recurrences is not well established. We therefore
aimed to evaluate in this meta‐analysis whether pharmacological treatment can
effectively prevent takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) recurrences, according to
available studies.HypothesisThere is no evidence for preventing TTC recurrence
by drug therapy.Me...
Assessment of Atrial Electromechanical Coupling and Influential Factors in Nonrheumatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 74-78 - 2008
AbstractBackgroundSequential analysis of atrial electromechanical coupling (P‐A)
by Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) might provide important insight into the
mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).HypothesisThe purpose of this
study was to evaluate P‐A and the dispersion of P‐A, and to analyze the
influential factors of P‐A.MethodsOne hundred and ten patients with PAF and 87
normal control...
Approaches to determination of left ventricular volume and ejection fraction by real‐time two‐dimensional echocardiography
Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 257-263 - 1979
AbstractLeft ventricular volumes and ejection fraction were derived from real
time two‐dimensional echocardio‐graphic images (2 DE) and single plane (RAO)
left ventricular cineangiograms in a series of 50 patients. Prospective
application of a series of 6 alternate algorithms showed that a modified
Simpson's rule approach using mitral and papillary muscle cross sections and an
apical four chamber ...
Update on Atrial Fibrillation: Part I
Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 55-62 - 2008
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is an epidemic, affecting 1% to 1.5% of the
population in the developed world. Projected data from the population‐based
studies suggest that the prevalence of AF will grow at least 3‐fold by 2050. The
health and economic burden imposed by AF and AF‐related morbidity is
enormous.Atrial fibrillation has a multiplicity of causes ranging from genetic
to degenerative, b...
Doppler echocardiography distinguishes between physiologic and pathologic “silent” mitral regurgitation in patients with rheumatic fever
Tập 20 Số 11 - Trang 924-926 - 1997
AbstractBackground: The diagnosis of rheumatic fever is based on physical
findings (major) and supporting laboratory evidence (minor) as defined by the
Jones criteria. Rheumatic carditis is characterized by auscultation of a mitral
regurgitant murmur. Doppler echocardiography, however, may detect mitral
regurgitation when there is no murmur (“silent” mitral regurgitation), even in
normal individua...
Mechanism of left a trial enlargement related to ventricular diastolic impairment in hypertension
Tập 19 Số 12 - Trang 954-959 - 1996
AbstractBackground and hypothesis: Systemic hypertension is the leading cause of
left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. The present study aimed to investigate the
mechanism of left atrial (LA) enlargement in patients with hypertensive heart
disease during cardiac catheterization.Methods: Data were obtained from eight
control subjects and seven patients with hypertensive heart disease. Left atrial
and ...
