Efficacy and safety of high dose versus low dose furosemide with or without dopamine infusion: The Dopamine in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure II (DAD-HF II) Trial
(2014)
Aims: The role of low-dose dopamine infusion in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains controversial. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-versus low-dose furosemide with or without ...
Hospitalization Epidemic in Patients With Heart Failure: Risk Factors, Risk Prediction, Knowledge Gaps, and Future Directions
(2011)
Patients with heart failure (HF) are hospitalized over a million times annually in the United States. Hospitalization marks a fundamental change in the natural history of HF, leading to frequent subsequent rehospitalizations ...
Ranolazine enhances nicardipine-induced relaxation of alpha1-adrenoceptor-mediated contraction on isolated rabbit aorta
(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 ...
Surgical Management of Infective Endocarditis: Early and Long-Term Mortality Analysis. Single-Center Experience and Brief Literature Review
(2014)
Introduction: In this study we evaluated factors that affect the early and long-term postoperative outcomes of patients with infective endocarditis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 94 patients (68 male, 26 female, ...
Classic and non-classic forms of mitral valve prolapse
(2012)
Objective: To investigate the significance of the established distinction between classic and non-classic forms of mitral valve prolapsed (MVP). Methods: We included in this prospective study all patients examined in our ...
Heterogeneity of Intramural Function in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mechanistic Insights From MRI Late Gadolinium Enhancement and High-Resolution Displacement Encoding With Stimulated Echoes Strain Maps
(2011)
Background-In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), myocardial abnormalities are commonly heterogeneous. Two patterns of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) have been reported: a bright "confluent" and an intermediate intensity ...
