A novel risk score for predicting left atrial and left atrial appendage thrombogenic milieu in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Although the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scoring systems are commonly used as measures of thromboembolic risk in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), data are inconsistent as to...
nAnnexin A1 is a Potential Novel Biomarker of Congestion in Acute Heart Failure.
The study sought to identify the role of Annexin A1 as a congestion marker in acute heart failure, and to identify its putative role in predicting clinical outcomes.Annexin A1 (AnxA1) is a p...
Wearable Patch Based Estimation of Oxygen Uptake and Assessment of Clinical Status during Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients with Heart Failure.
To estimate oxygen uptake (VO) from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) using simultaneously recorded seismocardiogram (SCG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals captured with a small wear...
Aortic Insufficiency during HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device Support: AI in HeartMate 3.
Aortic insufficiency (AI) is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), whereas its impact on the HeartMate 3 LVAD coho...
Safety and Feasibility of Performing Fenestrated Endovascular Abdominal Aneurysm Repair Using a Portable C-arm Without Fusion Technology: A Single-Center Experience.
Objective Most centers performing fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (F-EVAR) use hybrid rooms with fusion technology for mapping. We present our experience of successfully performing ...
Innovative Left Ventricular Assist Device in High-fidelity Patient Simulator.
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are implantable mechanical devices that pump blood from the apex of the left ventricle to the aorta in order to assist the forward flow of blood; they...
A Rat Model of Pressure Overload Induced Moderate Remodeling and Systolic Dysfunction as Opposed to Overt Systolic Heart Failure.
In response to an injury, such as myocardial infarction, prolonged hypertension or a cardiotoxic agent, the heart initially adapts through the activation of signal transduction pathways, to ...
The Development and Implementation of a Cardiac Home Hospice Program: Results of a RE-AIM Analysis.
Use of hospice has grown among patients with heart failure; however, gaps remain in the ability of agencies to tailor services to meet their needs.This study describes the implementation of ...
Levosimendan reduces segmental pulmonary vascular resistance in isolated perfused rat lungs and relaxes human pulmonary vessels.
Levosimendan is approved for acute heart failure. Within this context, pulmonary hypertension represents a frequent co-morbidity. Hence, the effects of levosimendan on segmental pulmonary va...
Combining Nanomaterials and Developmental Pathways to Design New Treatments for Cardiac Regeneration: The Pulsing Heart of Advanced Therapies.
The research for heart therapies is challenged by the limited intrinsic regenerative capacity of the adult heart. Moreover, it has been hampered by the poor results obtained by tissue engine...
Video Consultations Between Patients and Clinicians in Diabetes, Cancer, and Heart Failure Services: Linguistic Ethnographic Study of Video-Mediated Interaction.
Video-mediated clinical consultations offer potential benefits over conventional face-to-face in terms of access, convenience, and sometimes cost. The improved technical quality and dependab...
Effect of Icd Implantation on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Cardiac Amyloidosis. A Systematic Review and Meta-Anaylsis.
Cardiac amyloidosis is associated with a high rate of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Whether implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) use in such patients prevents SCD is uncertain. This st...
Investigating gene-microRNA networks in atrial fibrillation patients with mitral valve regurgitation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is predicted to affect around 17.9 million individuals in Europe by 2060. The disease is associated with severe electrical and structural remodelling of the heart, a...
Improving exercise capacity and quality of life using non-invasive heart failure treatments: evidence from clinical trials.
Endpoints of large-scale trials in chronic heart failure have mostly been defined to evaluate treatments with regard to hospitalizations and mortality. However, patients with heart failure a...
Diagnosis and Surgical Outcomes of Patients with Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery: A Single Taiwanese Medical Center Experience.
Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA), a very rare congenital cardiac anomaly, is associated with a high mortality rate among infants who are not diagnosed or tre...
Effects of Yixintai Pills on Myocardial Cell Apoptosis in Rats With Adriamycin-Induced Heart Failure.
To study the effects of Yixintai pills on myocardial cell apoptosis in rats with adriamycin (ADR)-induced heart failure (HF) and the mechanism of action.Sixty healthy male Wistar rats random...
