Plasma Big-Endothelin Levels, Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy, and Cardiac Functions in Patients with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2000)
Background: The alteration of endothelin (ET) levels in diabetic patients with cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) has not been studied extensively and its correlation with cardiac function parameters has not been discussed. ...
Detection Of Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy At Risk For Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation During Sinus Rhythm By P-Wave Dispersion
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2003)
Background: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with poor prognosis. Previous studies have shown good correlation between P-wave dispersion (Pd) and occurrence of PAR ...
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. ...
Effect of Balloon Inflation-Induced Acute Ischemia on Qt Dispersion During Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 1999)
Background: QT dispersion (QTd = QT(max) - QT(min)) measured as interlead variability of QT interval reflects the spatial inhomogeneity of ventricular repolarization times, and increased QTd may provide a substrate for ...
Platelet and Leukocyte Deactivation after Intracoronary Stent Placement in Patients Receiving Combined Antiplatelet Therapy
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001)
Activated platelets and leukocytes have been demonstrated to play a role in the development of stent thrombosis, and coronary angioplasty has been shown to result in activation of platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial ...
Qt Dispersion Plus St-Segment Depression: A New Predictor of Restenosis After Successful Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 1999)
Background: ST-segment depression during exercise testing is frequently observed in the absence of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Hypothesis: With the goal of improving the prediction ...
