A case report of a patient with frequent ventricular premature beats but an otherwise normal ECG and no structural heart disease. Propafenone in therapeutical doses unmasked the picture Brugada phenomenon
We analysed frequencies of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) receptor-1 (IFNGR1) gene promoter (G-611A, T-56C) tuberculosis patients (n = 244) and compared them with controls 521). These were not significantly different, whether independently or as haplotypes. Because these SNP affect transcription, results suggest that expression IFNGR1 does confer susceptibility to disease from Croatia. Further analysis revealed a significant association between...
To establish the baseline cutoff value of C-reactive protein (CRP) that would predict increased overall and cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).A cohort 270 prevalent hemodialysis treated at Rijeka University Hospital was eligible for study. Monthly CRP measurements were performed three consecutive months. Only values varying <20% included (n=256). During follow-up, 24 transplanted therefore excluded from analysis. The point 6.2 mg/L established by...
Renal transplant recipients (RTRs) are at high risk for cardiovascular (CVD) mortality. Recently, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been recognized as a new factor adverse CVD events in the general population. We examined whether transient elastography (TE) defined NAFLD was associated with atherosclerosis RTRs, measured by ultrasound carotid arteries.Carotid assesses 71 RTRs TE proven NAFLD. With help of stiffness used to assess fibrosis and Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP)...
Introduction: This study aimed to assess whether heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) and glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB (GPBB) could be used for the accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
♦Recent investigations indicated that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a hepatic component of metabolic syndrome (MS), is associated with an increased risk cardiovascular (CVD). Accordingly, we were interested in exploring the frequency NAFLD peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and analyzing factors PD occurrence. In addition, investigating whether higher CVD our patients. ♦In present cross-sectional study, analyzed 58 The controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) was used to detect...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Recently, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been recognized as a new risk factor for adverse CVD events general population. Our aim was to analyze incidence NAFLD HD patients by using transient elastography and whether presence is associated with higher <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The subjects were 72 50 sex-...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoporosis are important health problems. There is an interrelationship between CKD. Bone densitometry the "gold" standard in diagnosis of osteoporosis. Unfortunately, there some problems with interpretation bone CKD patients. The goal this study was to determine mineral density (BMD) patients, assess difference genders different sites correlation BMD laboratory parameters, most optimal measuring site.We studied 134 hemodialysis (HD) patients (62 females,...
Abstract We aimed to analyse granulysin (GNLY)‐mediated cytotoxicity in the peripheral blood of patients with non‐ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) treated anti‐ischaemic drug therapy. Thirty‐nine NSTEMI a median age 70 years and 28 age‐matched healthy subjects were enrolled this study. On day 7 after MI, number GNLY + lymphocytes increased approximately six‐fold that subjects, measured by flow cytometry. 14, cells significantly decreased T, NKT, both CD56 +dim +bright NK...
Objective: To investigate the possible electrophysiological background of greater excitability concentric and eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy types in relation to asymmetric type.Methods: 187 patients with essential hypertension, without ishaemic heart disease were divided into three groups regard ventricule type: (relative wall thickness >0.42, interventricular septum/left posterior ≤1.3), (left diameter systoles >32, relative <0.42), (interventricular >1.3), subgroups: mild septum...
