The type of atrial fibrillation is associated with long-term outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke
(2013)
Background/objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between the type of atrial fibrillation (AF) and long-term outcome in terms of mortality and stroke recurrence in patients with ischemic stroke and non-valvular ...
Stroke aetiology and predictors of outcome in patients with heart failure and acute stroke: a 10-year follow-up study
(2012)
Aims The aim of this study was to investigate stroke aetiology and assess the predictors of early and late outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) and acute stroke. Methods and results A total of 2904 patients, admitted ...
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 ...
The role of SOAT-1 polymorphisms in cognitive decline and delirium after bypass heart surgery
(2007)
Background Cognitive decline (CD) and delirium (PD) are commonly observed complications after bypass heart surgery. In this study we aimed to investigate whether certain genetic factors (alleles of the SOAT-1 gene) play a ...
Blood flow measurements within optic nerve head during on-pump cardiovascular operations. A window to the brain?
(2011)
This observational study is conducted to demonstrate optic nerve head (ONH) blood flow alterations during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in routine on-pump cardiovascular operations in order to evaluate the perfusion ...
Cardiorespiratory and immune response to physical activity following exposure to a typical smoking environment
(2010)
Objective Millions of non-smokers suffer daily passive smoking (PS) at home or at work, many of whom then have to walk fast for several minutes or climb a few sets of stairs. We conducted a randomised single-blind crossover ...
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 ...
P wave analysis indices in young healthy men: Data from the Digital Electrocardiographic Study in Hellenic Air Force Servicemen (DEHAS)
(2003)
P wave analysis from the 12-lead ECG is a recent contribution of noninvasive electrocardiology. P wave analysis indices (maximum and minimum P wave duration, P wave dispersion [P-dis = P-max - P-min], adjusted P wave ...
