Novel techniques for assessment ...
The evaluation of left ventricular systolic function is one of the most common reasons for referral for a non-invasive cardiac imaging study. In add ...
The prognostic significance of ...
Fragmented QRS (fQRS) may occur due to non-homogeneous activation of ischemic ventricles. We want to investigate the prognostic significance of a fQ ...
Inhibition of mini-TyrRS-induce ...
To clarify whether a VE-cadherin-dependent pathway allows mini-TrpRS to inhibit mini-TrpRS-induced new blood vessel formation in endothelial cells ( ...
Atrioventricular nodal ablation ...
Patients often require antiarrhythmic drugs to control tachycardia after permanent pacemaker implantation (PMI) for bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome ...
Steady-state B-type natriuretic ...
B-type natriuretic peptide level is increased in patients with atrial fibrillation. The aim of the present study was to present the distribution of ...
Impact of hypertension on short ...
Hypertension is well established as a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. Data on the impact of hypertension in patients with ST ele ...
Hypocellularity and insufficien ...
The aim of this study was to identify the clinical parameters of absolutely poor-prognosis patients with chronic critical limb ischemia (AP-CLI). Si ...
Obstructive sleep apnea as a po ...
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is not only a cause of hypertension; it also possibly affects the pathogenesis and progression of aortic disease becau ...
Diffuse in-stent restenosis of ...
The use of drug-eluting stents (DES) reduces the risk of repeat revascularization without increase of death and myocardial infarction compared to st ...
Infarct tissue characteristics ...
Histopathological studies have suggested that early revascularization for acute myocardial infarction (MI) limits the size, transmural extent, and h ...
Successful deployment of an ili ...
Aortic rupture is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication following a balloon aortoplasty for recoarctation. The treatment of aortic ruptur ...
Successful percutaneous coil em ...
We herein describe a 57-year-old man with coronary–pulmonary artery fistulas that had abnormal connections between the left common carotid artery an ...
A possible cross-sectional asso ...
Bilirubin is a potent antioxidant, and serum total bilirubin (TB) is reported to be negatively associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). There h ...
A case of subacute thrombosis a ...
A 73-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with anterior acute myocardial infarction due to subacute thrombosis after coronary stenting with a ...
Independent no-reflow predictor ...
Independent no-reflow predictors should be evaluated in female patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) and successful ...
Catheter ablation of non-induci ...
We present a patient with non-inducible atrial tachycardia (AT) after atriotomy for surgical repair of heart disease who underwent ablation successf ...
Noninvasive assessment of left ...
The maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise (LV dp/dtmax) is a good indicator of ventricular contractility. However, its measurement requires ...
Complete versus incomplete reva ...
Limited data exist regarding the impact of complete revascularization (CR) versus incomplete revascularization (IR) on the long-term outcomes of pat ...
Vasomotor and fibrinolytic resp ...
Upregulation of vascular B1 kinin receptor expression has been reported in human atheroma, but its role remains unclear. We examined vasomotor and f ...
Endothelin-1 prolongs intracell ...
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. We investigated the effects of ET-1 on intracellular ca ...
Impact of obesity on plasma B-t ...
The plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration was recently shown to be inversely correlated with body mass index (BMI). However, very fe ...
Transcatheter closure of perime ...
Results of perimembranous ventricular septal defects (pmVSD) transcatheter closure have been reported in the literature, mostly with the Amplatzer V ...
