Detection Of Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy At Risk For Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation During Sinus Rhythm By P-Wave Dispersion
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2003)
Background: Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with poor prognosis. Previous studies have shown good correlation between P-wave dispersion (Pd) and occurrence of PAR ...
Is Carotid Atherosclerosis More Important in Patients with Mitral Annular Calcification than in Those without?
(Japan Heart Journal, Second Dept Of Internal Med, 2004)
It has been suggested that mitral annular calcification (MAC) may be a manifestation of generalized atherosclerosis. However, how the incidence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) are affected by the coexistence ...
Effects Of Stent Coating On Platelets And Endothelial Cells After Intracoronary Stent Implantation
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 2001)
Background: Adhesion molecules are known to be important in the regulation of endothelial cell and platelet functions. Increased platelets P-selectin expression is a marker of stent thrombosis after uncoated stent placement. ...
Effect of Balloon Inflation-Induced Acute Ischemia on Qt Dispersion During Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 1999)
Background: QT dispersion (QTd = QT(max) - QT(min)) measured as interlead variability of QT interval reflects the spatial inhomogeneity of ventricular repolarization times, and increased QTd may provide a substrate for ...
Platelet and Leukocyte Deactivation after Intracoronary Stent Placement in Patients Receiving Combined Antiplatelet Therapy
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001)
Activated platelets and leukocytes have been demonstrated to play a role in the development of stent thrombosis, and coronary angioplasty has been shown to result in activation of platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial ...
Methylene Tetrahydrofolate Reductase Genotype And The Risk And Extent Of Coronary Artery Disease In A Population With Low Plasma Folate
(British Med Journal Publ Group, 1999)
Objective-To determine the effects of the thermolabile methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutation on the presence and extent of coronary atherosclerosis in a population with low plasma folate. Methods-242 ...
Qt Dispersion Plus St-Segment Depression: A New Predictor of Restenosis After Successful Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty
(Clinical Cardiology Publ Co, 1999)
Background: ST-segment depression during exercise testing is frequently observed in the absence of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Hypothesis: With the goal of improving the prediction ...
