Effect of doxycycline on chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced atrial remodeling in ratsHerz - Tập 45 - Trang 668-675 - 2018
K. Zhang, Z. Ma, W. Wang, R. Liu, Y. Zhang, M. Yuan, G. Li
Atrial remodeling in the form of fibrosis is considered the basis in the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of doxycycline on atrial remodeling induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) and the mechanisms underlying such changes. A total of 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups: control group, CIH group, CIH with dox...... hiện toàn bộ
Management of Atrial FibrillationHerz - Tập 31 - Trang 849-856 - 2006
Timothy Watson, Gregory Y. H. Lip
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting an estimated 4.5 million people within the European Union. Indeed, the prevalence of AF continues to rise, in view of the aging population and the better management of heart attacks, making it the new “epidemic”. Irrespective of a rate control or rhythm control strategy, appropriate antithrombotic therapy is central to AF ma...... hiện toàn bộ
Spontaneous left atrial reentry tachycardiasHerz - Tập 40 - Trang 66-72 - 2013
R. Schneider, C. Schneider, D. Bänsch
Spontaneous left atrial reentry tachycardias (LART) in patients without previous cardiac surgical or catheter ablation are rare. Several therapeutic concepts of catheter ablation have been suggested: linear lesions (LL), circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), and both (LL + PVI). In all, 28 consecutive symptomatic patients with 51 LARTs presented to our institution for catheter ablation. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Peripartum cardiomyopathyHerz - - 2018
T. Koenig, D. Hilfiker-Kleiner, J. Bauersachs
Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease that occurs toward the end of pregnancy or in the months following delivery in previously heart-healthy women. The incidence varies widely depending on geographical region and ethnic background, with an estimated number of 1 in 1000–1500 pregnancies in Germany. The course of the disease ranges from mild forms with ...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of coronary artery disease on in-hospital mortality in patients with aortic valve diseaseHerz - Tập 38 - Trang 387-390 - 2013

Although aortic valve disease (AVD) is frequently associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), little is known about the impact of significant coronary artery disease on mortality after diagnostic cardiac catheterization in patients with AVD. We analyzed data of the coronary angiography registry of the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Leitende Kardiologische Krankenhausärzte” (ALKK) in Germany. The primary ...... hiện toàn bộ
