Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is not usually diagnosed until patients with suspected acute coronary (ACS) and echocardiographically detected apical aneurysm are found to have "normal" angiography (CA). Our aim was explore whether cardiac biomarkers can contribute the early diagnosis of TTS.
The objective of this study was to compare rates redo surgery for the Medtronic Mosaic 305 A Porcine Prosthesis and Carpentier-Edwards Perimount Pericardial Aortic Bioprosthesis 2900. This a single-centre retrospective observational study. We included all 1018 patients who underwent aortic valve replacement with (n = 216) or 809) bioprosthesis between October 2000 August 2008. total follow-up 1508 patient-years 5813 valve. maximal interquartile range were 14.8 7.0 years 15.1 5.6 valve,...
Siblings with coronavirus disease 2019 infection and opposite outcome—the hemodialysis’s better outcome paradox: Two case reports
The impact of ranolazine, an anti-ishemic agent with antiarrhythmic properties, on paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in patients coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unclear. Pacing devices can be useful tools for disclosing even asymptomatic PAF. Purpose this study is to assess the effect ranolazine (AF), CAD, PAF and a dual-chamber pacemaker. We studied 74 PAF, sick sinus syndrome or atrio-ventricular block, treated pacemakers capable detect episodes. total time AF, AF burden, number...
Abstract Aim Endothelial glycocalyx is involved in the clinical course of atherogenesis. The purpose this study was to investigate whether disturbance integrity related with increased cardiovascular risk. Methods Perfused Boundary Region (PBR), a marker integrity, measured non-invasively sublingual microvessels diameter ranging from 5–25 μm using dedicated camera (Sideview, Darkfield Imaging). Increased PBR indicates reduced thickness. We baseline 400 apparently healthy subjects, without...
Abstract Background/Introduction Chronic stress is considered to be an important element of residual cardiovascular risk and modern guidelines recommend its systematic assessment treatment. Its pathophysiologic contribution, however, in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was not, until recently, easy elucidate. This arises from difficulties objectively quantifying levels using conventional research methods, like questionnaires. Purpose The purpose our study measure at the days preceding a...
Background: There are limited data regarding left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) recovery rates among patients with anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy (AIC). Aims: To assess the rate of LVEF and its predictors in a contemporary heterogenous cohort AIC. Methods: A retrospective study adult new onset determined to be secondary anthracyclines after comprehensive work-up for potential etiologies within Massachusetts General Brigham between 2010 2023. was defined as an absolute increase...
Background Chronic stress is believed to play a role in the pathophysiology of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Cortisol biomarker associated with stress. We sought assess contribution AMI using hair cortisol concentration (HCCs) as surrogate biomarker. Methods HCC was measured segments, corresponding distinctive periods before sampling, 102 male patients and 50 healthy controls. Standard baseline variables were collected for both groups, whereas patients, laboratory psychological tests...
Abstract Background Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is frequently triggered by stressful events suggesting that increased sympathetic activity has a role in its pathophysiology. Hair cortisol concentration (HCC) promising biomarker of excess chronic stress measuring secreted into hairs over several weeks. Purpose We explored whether premorbid ongoing weeks assessed HCC at 2 intervals associated with the occurrence TTS. Methods A case-control prospective study was performed recruiting 18 consecutive...
