Acute myocardial infarction: Intracoronary application of nitroglycerin and streptokinaseAbstract In 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 s... ...

Pregnancy in patients with heart disease: Experience with 1,000 casesAbstract Background : 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 experienc...

Biology of the EndotheliumThe 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 r... ...

Interleukin‐6 and acute coronary syndromeAbstract The 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. Inde... ...

Lack of Efficacy of Drug Therapy in Preventing Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Recurrence: A Meta‐analysisAbstract Background Efficacy 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...

Assessment of Atrial Electromechanical Coupling and Influential Factors in Nonrheumatic Paroxysmal Atrial FibrillationAbstract Background Sequential analysis of atrial electromechanical coupling (P‐A) by Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) might provide important insight into the mechanisms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Hypothesis The purpose of this study was to evaluate P‐A and the ...

Approaches to determination of left ventricular volume and ejection fraction by real‐time two‐dimensional echocardiographyAbstract Left 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 sec... ...

Update on Atrial Fibrillation: Part IAbstract Atrial 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... ...

Doppler echocardiography distinguishes between physiologic and pathologic “silent” mitral regurgitation in patients with rheumatic feverAbstract Background : 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 murm...

Mechanism of left a trial enlargement related to ventricular diastolic impairment in hypertensionAbstract Background 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 o...
