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
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
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
Non-invasive one-point carotid wave intensity in a large group of healthy subjectsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 360-369 - 2014

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

Flow pattern analysis of right ventricular outflow tract in repaired tetralogy of Fallot through 4D flow MRISpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-7 - 2024

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) often shows discrepancies between right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) flow and left ventricular outflow tract flow in patients with late-stage repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF), leading to potential errors in pulmonary regurgitation fraction (PRF) assessment. This study aimed to identify the conditions under which RVOT flow can be acutely evaluated usi...... hiện toàn bộ
Arterial structural changes in rats immunized by AT1-receptor peptideSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 20 - Trang 153-158 - 2005

Accumulating evidence suggests that anti-AT1 (angiotensin II receptor type 1) receptor antibodies are involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension. We assessed the hypothesis that changes in vascular structure could be induced in rats immunized with AT1-receptor peptide. In this study, an animal model was made by immunizing Wistar rats aged 4 weeks with the synthetic peptide corresponding to the s...... hiện toàn bộ
