Lessons learnt from the autopsies of 445 cases of sudden cardiac death in adults
(2005)
Aim To determine the cause of sudden cardiac death in adults who underwent autopsy. Methods Four hundred and forty-five sudden cardiac deaths occurred within 1 h of the symptoms onset, and all other cardiac and noncardiac ...
Statin treatment is associated with improved prognosis in patients with AF-related stroke
(2014)
Background/objectives: The most recent ACC/AHA guidelines recommend high-intensity statin therapy in ischemic stroke patients of presumably atherosclerotic origin. On the contrary, there is no specific recommendation for ...
The Left Atrium: From the Research Laboratory to the Clinic
(2014)
Studies of left atrial (LA) function, until the latter part of the 20th century, were mostly limited to experimental animal models and to studies related to clinical research in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. For ...
Diagnostic and prognostic impact of brain natriuretic peptide in cardiac and noncardiac diseases
(2008)
OBJECTIVE: Cardiac secretion of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) increases with the progression of congestive heart failure (CHF). The plasma measurement of BNP emerged recently as a useful, cost-effective biomarker for the ...
Adrenomedullin optimises mortality prediction in COPD patients
(2015)
Background: Current multicomponent scores that predict mortality in COPD patients might underestimate the systemic component of COPD. Therefore, we evaluated the accuracy of circulating levels of proadrenomedullin (MR-proADM) ...
An insight into short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support systems
(2015)
Cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction, postcardiotomy syndrome following cardiac surgery, or manifestation of heart failure remains a clinical challenge with high mortality rates, despite ongoing advances ...
Determinants of electrocardiographic and spatial vectorcardiographic descriptors of ventricular repolarization in normal subjects
(2001)
he link between the dispersion of ventricular recovery times and arrhythmias has previously been demonstrated.(1) QT dispersion has been used to quantify the dispersion of ventricular refractoriness from the standard 12-lead ...
