Appropriate invasive and conservative treatment approaches for patients with ST-Elevation MISpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 3-11 - 2006
Michelle O’Donoghue, Marc S. Sabatine
The combination of aspirin, heparin, and fibrinolytics was established in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the foundation for pharmacologic reperfusion therapy for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Since that time, many attempts have been made to improve on this regimen with limited success. In the late 1990s, primary percutaneous coronary intervention emerged as an invasive approach fo...... hiện toàn bộ
Exercise and Sports Participation in Children with Cardiomyopathy: A ReviewSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 25 - Trang 543-559 - 2023
Imran R. Masood, Jonathan B. Edelson
There are numerous health benefits to exercise, including improved cardiovascular, metabolic, and mental health. Despite these many benefits, children with cardiomyopathy have been traditionally restricted from engaging in exercise or participating in organized sports. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature regarding the utility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing, discu...... hiện toàn bộ
Bleeding Complications After PCI and the Role of Transradial AccessSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1-11 - 2014
Amit N. Vora, Sunil V. Rao
Bleeding events are the most common complications following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are associated with increases in short- and long-term mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke, hospital length of stay, and hospital cost. Over time, there has been a decrease in periprocedural bleeding, primarily due to improvements in antithrombotic therapy; however, transradial (TR...... hiện toàn bộ
HDL-C and LDL-C: Their role in stroke pathogenesis and implications for treatmentSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 195-206 - 2008
Nerses Sanossian, Nicholas E. Tarlov
Elevated serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and low serum highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are risk factors for atherosclerotic ischemic stroke. The National Cholesterol Education Panel and the American Heart Association have released guidelines for the treatment of dyslipidemia that stress LDL-C reduction using HMG CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A) reductase in...... hiện toàn bộ
The Impact of Exercise and Athletic Training on Vascular Structure and FunctionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 1-11 - 2020
Timothy W. Churchill
Myocardial adaptation to athletics and exercise training is a well-described process that has garnered much interest over the past decades. By contrast, our understanding of how the vascular system adapts in the trained athlete remains limited. The goal of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of exercise on structure and function of the extra-cardiac vascular system. Wh...... hiện toàn bộ
Cardiac Amyloidosis: Evolving Approach to Diagnosis and ManagementSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 13 - Trang 528-542 - 2011
Hans K. Meier-Ewert, Vaishali Sanchorawala, John L. Berk, Frederick L. Ruberg
The systemic amyloidoses are a group of heterogeneous disorders characterized by extracellular deposition of misfolded fibrillar protein that results in organ dysfunction. Involvement of the heart (cardiac amyloidosis) is manifest by increased cardiac wall thickness and impairment of myocardial diastolic and systolic properties, changes that result in heart failure, dysrhythmia, and death. Amyloid...... hiện toàn bộ
Management of the metabolic syndrome in cardiovascular diseaseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 27-38 - 2008
Wai Ping Alicia Chan, Aaron Leonid Sverdlov, John David Horowitz
The main components of the metabolic syndrome (MS) are abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, raised blood pressure, insulin resistance with or without glucose intolerance, and proinflammatory and prothrombotic states. The clustering of these metabolic risk factors significantly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and promotes vascular endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and increased o...... hiện toàn bộ
Ebstein Anomaly: Assessment, Management, and Timing of InterventionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1-13 - 2014
Puneeta Arya, Rebecca Beroukhim
Ebstein anomaly is a developmental abnormality of the tricuspid valve and right ventricle that results in tricuspid regurgitation and right heart enlargement. Because of the variation in clinical severity and associated findings, patients require a detailed, well-tailored evaluation. For these reasons, management of adults with Ebstein anomaly should take place in a center with expertise in adult ...... hiện toàn bộ
