Background: Obstructive steep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by the repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction during steep, leading to significant hypoxia. Noninvasive evaluation of autonomic nervous system ...
Is Carotid Atherosclerosis More Important in Patients with Mitral Annular Calcification than in Those without?
(Japan Heart Journal, Second Dept Of Internal Med, 2004)
It has been suggested that mitral annular calcification (MAC) may be a manifestation of generalized atherosclerosis. However, how the incidence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) are affected by the coexistence ...
Soy Protein Diet Significantly Improves Endothelial Function And Lipid Parameters
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2001)
Background: Replacement of animal protein with soy protein in the diet is associated with decreased cholesterol levels. However, the effects of soy protein diet on endothelial function are not well known. Hypothesis: The ...
Successful Fibrinolytic Treatment in an Old Patient with Acute Aortic Prosthetic Thrombosis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2008)
Thrombosis of mechanical heart valve prosthesis is a rare fatal complication after heart valve replacement. This report describes an old female patient with aortic prosthetic valve thrombosis who had a successful fibrinolytic ...
Effects Of Acute Exercise On Fibrinolysis And Coagulation In Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
(Int Heart Journal Assoc, 2007)
Acute physical exertion may trigger an acute coronary syndrome. Furthermore, acute physical exercise may influence hemostatic markers in healthy individuals. However, the effect of acute exercise on blood fibrinolysis and ...
Effects Of Stent Coating On Platelets And Endothelial Cells After Intracoronary Stent Implantation
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2001)
Background: Adhesion molecules are known to be important in the regulation of endothelial cell and platelet functions. Increased platelets P-selectin expression is a marker of stent thrombosis after uncoated stent placement. ...
Heart Rate Turbulence: Standards Of Measurement, Physiological Interpretation, And Clinical Use International Society For Holter And Noninvasive Electrophysiology Consensus
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2008)
This consensus statement has been compiled on behalf of the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrophysiology. It reviews the topic of heart rate turbulence (HRT) and concentrates on technologies for ...
Guideline Implementation In A Multicenter Study With An Estimated 44% Relative Cardiovascular Event Risk Reduction
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2003)
Background: The extent of cardiovascular risk reduction by implementing coronary prevention guidelines needs to be documented in various population samples. Hypothesis: This is a multicenter study to assess the impact of ...
Is Ventricular Repolarization Heterogeneity a Cause of Serious Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias in Aortic Valve Stenosis?
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2000)
Background: It is well known that there is a close relation between sudden cardiac death and serious Ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS). QT dispersion (QTd) reflects the ventricular ...
