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 Stroke Localization On Cardiac Autonomic Balance And Sudden Death
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1999)
Background and Purpose-Stroke has been shown to alter autonomic function. The purpose of this study was to show the differential effects of stroke localization on autonomic function parameters assessed by heart rate ...
Emergency Polytetrafluoroethylene-Covered Stent Implantation To Treat Right Coronary Artery Perforation During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
(Via Medica, 2012)
Coronary artery perforations are life-threatening complications with a poor outcome. Historically, if the perforation was not controlled using conservative methods such as prolonged balloon inflation and protamine ...
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 ...
Permanent Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Infections: Seven Years of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Experience of a Single Center
(Wiley, 2010)
Background: Increasing evidence-based indications for the implantation of permanent pacemakers (PMs) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) have led to an increase in the rate of device infections. The aim of ...
The Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of First Hour Glycogen Phosphorylase Isoenzyme BB Level in Acute Coronary Syndrome
(Via Medica, 2011)
Background: Evaluating patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a time consuming, expensive and problematic process in the emergency department. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and ...
Reduction in First and Recurrent Cardiovascular Events with Ticagrelor Compared with Clopidogrel in the Plato Study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013)
Background-We sought to evaluate the effect of potent platelet inhibition after acute coronary syndrome on total (ie, first and recurrent) occurrences of any of the primary outcome events (eg, cardiovascular death, myocardial ...
Relationship Between Vitamin D Level and Left Atrial Fibrosis in Patients with Lone Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Cryoballoon-Based Catheter Ablation
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2017)
Background: Left atrial (LA) fibrosis is known as the hallmark for arrhythmogenic substrate in atrial fibrillation (AF). Quantification of LA fibrosis by using delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) in AF ...
Risk Stratification in Nonischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Current Perspectives
(Via Medica, 2010)
The clinical goals of risk stratification of sudden death are to identify subjects who are at high risk of and eventually to reduce the incidence of sudden death. Numerous studies have described risk stratification techniques ...
Total White Blood Cell Count Is Associated With The Presence, Severity And Extent Of Coronary Atherosclerosis Detected By Dual-Source Multislice Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography
(Via Medica, 2011)
Background: Total white blood cell (WBC) count has been consistently shown to be an independent risk factor and predictor for future cardiovascular outcomes, regardless of disease status in coronary artery disease (CAD). ...
