This study aimed to investigate the aortic elastic properties of young pregnant women by comparing them with those of age-matched healthy females. The study group consisted of 21 pregnant women at a mean age of 26 ± 1 years; 22 healthy women at a mean age of 25 ± 1 years constituted the control group. Doppler-color echocardiographic variables and serum estradiol (E2) levels were measured from both...... hiện toàn bộ
Acute effects of statin on reduction of angiopoietin-like 2 and glyceraldehyde-derived advanced glycation end-products levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a message from SAMIT (Statin for Acute Myocardial Infarction Trial)Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 1583-1589 - 2015

Experimental ischemia–reperfusion models have shown that 3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, statins, have cardioprotective effects. SAMIT (Statin Acute Myocardial Infarction Trial) is a multicenter prospective open randomized trial, designed to evaluate the effects of statin treatment from the earliest stage on cardioprotection in patients with acute myocardial in...... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of body mass index on real-world outcomes of rivaroxaban treatment in Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 35 - Trang 1125-1134 - 2020

This sub-analysis of the XAPASS, a prospective, single-arm, observational study, aimed to evaluate relationships between body mass index (BMI) and safety (major bleeding and all-cause mortality) and effectiveness [stroke/non-central nervous system (non-CNS) systemic embolism (SE)/myocardial infarction (MI)] outcomes in Japanese patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) receiving rivaro...... hiện toàn bộ
Olmesartan reduces inflammatory biomarkers in patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: results from the OLIVUS trialSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 29 - Trang 178-185 - 2013

The OLmesartan on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis: evaluation by IntraVascular UltraSound (OLIVUS) trial demonstrated that an angiotensin II receptor blocker, olmesartan, reduces the rate of coronary atheroma progression as evaluated by intravascular ultrasound in patients with stable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. This substudy examined the impact of ol...... hiện toàn bộ
Point mutations in mitochondrial DNA of patients with alcoholic cardiomyopathySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 172-175 - 2000

The pathogenesis of alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is not well understood. However, recent reports have shown that mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were associated with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy and cardiomyopathy. Our objective was to explore point mutations in mtDNA and the pathogenesis of ACM. We obtained heart biopsy specimens from ten male habitual drinkers with congestive heart ...... hiện toàn bộ
The strain pattern, and not Sokolow–Lyon electrocardiographic voltage criteria, is independently associated with anatomic left ventricular hypertrophySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 29 - Trang 638-644 - 2013

Although obesity and chest-wall thickness influence the Sokolow–Lyon electrocardiographic (ECG) voltage criteria and strain pattern, these factors have not been taken into account in previous studies that evaluate the relationship between the ECG criteria and anatomic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The introduction of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has enabled assessment of not only co...... hiện toàn bộ

The analysis of wave intensity (WI) evaluates the working condition of the heart interacting with the arterial system. WI in normal subjects has two peaks, the first (W
1) reflects left ventricle (LV) contractile performance, the second (W
2) is related to the ability of the LV to actively stop aortic blood flow. The aim of the study was to investig...... hiện toàn bộ
