Assessment of local atrial repolarization in a porcine acetylcholine model of atrial flutter and fibrillation
Aidonidis, I.; Poyatzi, A.; Stamatiou, G.; Lymberi, M.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2009)Objectives - Progressive electrical alternans followed by conduction block and fibrillatory conduction have been suggested to precede disorganization of atrial flutter (Afl) to atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of the ... -
Dose-Related Shortening of Ventricular Tachycardia Cycle Length After Administration of the K-ATP Channel Opener Bimakalim in a 4-Day-Old Chronic Infarct Anesthetized Pig Model
Aidonidis, I.; Poyatzi, A.; Stamatiou, G.; Lymberi, M.; Stamatoyannis, N.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2009)Potassium channel openers are known to act on potassium ATP-dependent channels in cardiac tissue. Such agents may exacerbate acceleration of acute ischemia-induced ventricular repolarization and aggravate arrhythmias. To ... -
Effect of Ranolazine in Preventing Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Coronary Revascularization Surgery
Tagarakis, G. I.; Aidonidis, I.; Daskalopoulou, S. S.; Simopoulos, V.; Liouras, V.; Daskalopoulos, M. E.; Parisis, C.; Papageorgiou, K.; Skoularingis, I.; Triposkiadis, F.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Tsilimingas, N. B. (2013)Background/Objective: Ranolazine is a new anti-ischemic agent approved for chronic angina with additional electrophysiologic properties. The purpose of the present trial was to investigate its effect in preventing postoperative ... -
Effectiveness of aldosterone antagonists for preventing atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery in patients with systolic heart failure: a retrospective study
Simopoulos, V.; Tagarakis, G.; Hatziefthimiou, A.; Skoularigis, I.; Triposkiadis, F.; Trantou, V.; Tsilimingas, N.; Aidonidis, I. (2015)Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is the most common arrhythmia after cardiac surgery. There exist consistent experimental and clinical data suggesting that aldosterone antagonists (AAs) may exert beneficial effects ... -
The effects of ranolazine on paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in patients with coronary artery disease
Leftheriotis, D.; Flevari, P.; Theodorakis, G.; Rigopoulos, A.; Giannakakis, G.; Simitsis, P.; Aidonidis, I.; Rizos, I.; Anastasiou-Nana, M. (2013) -
Impact of ranolazine in preventing postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients after on-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Tagarakis, G.; Aidonidis, I.; Liouras, V.; Papageorgiou, K.; Parissis, C.; Skoularingis, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Tsilimingas, N. (2012) -
Physiology of pericardial fluid production and drainage
Vogiatzidis, K.; Zarogiannis, S. G.; Aidonidis, I.; Solenov, E. I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Gourgoulianis, K. I.; Hatzoglou, C. (2015)The pericardium is one of the serosal cavities of the mammals. It consists of two anatomical structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal ... -
Ranolazine enhances nicardipine-induced relaxation of alpha1-adrenoceptor-mediated contraction on isolated rabbit aorta
Malavaki, C.; Hatziefthimiou, A.; Daskalopoulou, S. S.; Stefanidis, I.; Karatzaferi, C.; Aidonidis, I. (2015)Ranolazine (RAN) and nicardipine (NIC) have been studied for their vasorelaxing effects but the combination of these agents against adrenergic vasoconstriction has not been tested. The present study aimed at investigating ... -
Ranolazine enhances the antiarrhythmic activity of amiodarone by accelerating conversion of new-onset atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery
Aidonidis, I.; Simopoulos, V.; Tagarakis, G.; Skoularingis, I.; Leftheriotis, D.; Rizos, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Tsilimingas, N. (2013) -
Ranolazine Enhances the Antiarrhythmic Activity of Amiodarone by Accelerating Conversion of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery
Simopoulos, V.; Tagarakis, G. I.; Daskalopoulou, S. S.; Daskalopoulos, M. E.; Lenos, A.; Chryssagis, K.; Skoularingis, I.; Molyvdas, P. A.; Tsilimingas, N. B.; Aidonidis, I. (2014)Ranolazine is a relatively novel antiischemic/antianginal compound with antiarrhythmic properties. We investigated its ability to shorten the time to conversion of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) when added to ... -
Ranolazine prevents inducibility of atrial fibrillation elicited by acetylcholine and rapid atrial pacing in anesthetized rabbits
Aidonidis, I.; Doulas, K.; Stamatiou, G.; Papadopoulos, D.; Makantasis, I.; Molyvdas, P. A. (2010) -
Ranolazine-Induced Postrepolarization Refractoriness Suppresses Induction of Atrial Flutter and Fibrillation in Anesthetized Rabbits
