Ranolazine-Induced Postrepolarization Refractoriness Suppresses Induction of Atrial Flutter and Fibrillation in Anesthetized Rabbits
(2013)
Ranolazine (Ran) is a novel anti-ischemic agent with electrophysiologic properties mainly attributed to the inhibition of late Na+ current and atrial-selective early Na+ current. However, there are only limited data regarding ...
Monitoring of brain oxygen saturation (INVOS) in a protocol to direct blood transfusions during cardiac surgery: a prospective randomized clinical trial
(2013)
Background: Blood transfusions are common in cardiac surgery, but have been associated with increased morbidity and long-term mortality. Efforts to reduce blood product use during cardiac surgery include fluid restriction ...
Remote preconditioning in normal and hypertrophic rat hearts
(2011)
Background: The aim of our study was to investigate whether remote preconditioning (RPC) improves myocardial function after ischemia/reperfusion injury in both normal and hypertrophic isolated rat hearts. This is the first ...
Open Versus Tunneling Radial Artery Harvest for Coronary Artery Grafting
(2010)
P>We present a less traumatic surgical technique for harvesting the radial artery as a coronary artery bypass graft that does not require any special equipment or skills. We prospectively randomized 40 patients undergoing ...
Thoracic Epidural Analgesia With Levobupivacaine for 6 Postoperative Days Attenuates Sympathetic Activation After Thoracic Surgery
(2011)
Objective: To investigate the impact of 2 postoperative analgesic regimens on heart rate variability in patients who underwent thoracotomy. Design: A prospective, randomized trial. Setting: A single-institutional study in ...
Effectiveness of aldosterone antagonists for preventing atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery in patients with systolic heart failure: a retrospective study
(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 ...
"Directed" Cardioplegia: A New Approach in Myocardial Protection in Left Main Coronary Artery Disease
(2008)
Directed cardioplegia" is a novel approach in myocardial protection in which a certain volume of cardioplegic solution is diverted into a severely diseased coronary artery after surgical occlusion of the other main branches ...
