Background: MicroRNA (miRNA) have the potential to be non-invasive and attractive biomarkers for a vast number of diseases clinical conditions; however, reliable analysis miRNA expression in blood samples meets methodological challenges. In this report, we presented discussed, specifically, principles limitations purification plasma collected from left atrium during an ablation procedure on patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials Methods: Consecutive hospitalized First Department...
Gender‐based differences in cardiovascular mortality may be due to a cardio‐protective effect of oestrogens on the myocardium. However, mRNA expression oestrogen receptors myocardial tissue adult heart has yet demonstrated. Furthermore, calcium antagonistic action 17beta‐oestradiol been discussed. Therefore, two subjects were investigated atrial myocytes human, and ventricular guinea‐pig rat this study. (1) Are expressed cells? (2) Is there an influence L‐type current cardiac myocytes?...
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a progressive condition associated with reduced life expectancy and quality of life. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia in HF patients, significantly worsens symptoms outcomes. The coexistence AF linked to higher morbidity mortality rates, bidirectional relationship exacerbating both conditions. recent evidence has suggested that combining pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) renal denervation (RDN) may offer promising strategy for reducing...
It has been suggested that changes in pulmonary veins (PV) and left atrium (LA) anatomy may have an influence on initiating atrial fibrillation (AF) the effectiveness of vein isolation (PVI) patients (pts) with fibrillation. The aim study was to assess abnormalities PV LA history AF compare it control group(CG).The multi-slice tomography (MSCT) scans were performed 224 pts. before PVI (129 males, mean age 59 ± 9 yrs). CG consisted 40 without (26 45 evaluated. Diameters ostia measured two...
Background: Renalase is a catecholamine-metabolising enzyme, but its possible association with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unknown. Aim: We sought to evaluate plasma renalase concentration in patients AF undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) respect clinical characteristics, left (LA) remodelling, and PVI efficacy. Methods: This case-control study included 69 (median age 58 years) either paroxysmal (89%) or persistent (11%) AF, referred for PVI, control group consisting of 15...
since 2006.The SILCARD registry was approved by the local ethics committee.The confidentiality clause signed individuals who were involved in data preparation.Detailed information on has been reported previously. 4The database contains records from all hospitals (n = 310) located Silesian Province, which is most urbanized region Poland with population of 4.57 million (approximately 12% total country) and a well -developed hospital network 2 tertiary cardiology centers, 3 cardiac surgery 20...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and associated with a deterioration of quality life (QoL). Catheter ablation therapeutic strategy for some patients AF. The effectiveness pulmonary vein isolation still under assessment.To assess long-term influence circumferential (CPVA) on QoL in AF.The study population consisted 33 (26 males, age 54.2 ± 9 years) highly symptomatic (EHRA II-III) drug refractory paroxysmal AF, who underwent CPVA. A clinical examination,...
Obesity constitutes a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and modifies the efficacy of invasive AF treatment. Left (LA) global longitudinal strain (GLS), which is measured using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE), one new methods that are helpful in evaluating function LA. The aim study was to evaluate LA obese non-obese patients were undergoing percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) before 6 months after procedure. 89 (F/M: 31/58; mean age: 55.8 ± 9.8 years) with paroxysmal...
Premature ventricular beats (PVBs) and monomorphic tachycardia originating from the right outflow tract (RVOT) are most frequent forms of idiopathic arrhythmias, but arrhythmia left (LVOT) may be found in about 10% these patients.To compare electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns duration repolarisation after PVBs superior part interventricular septum which were successfully treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation.We studied 62 patients who did not receive antiarrhythmic drug treatment...
Objetivando verificar o efeito de três temperaturas (0°C, 2°C e ambiente) da embalagem polietileno perfurado no armazenamento, utilizou-se frutos goiabeira serrana (Feijoa sellowiana Berg), provenientes plantas nativas Vacaria, RS, colhidos em meados março 1993 mantidos câmaras frias. O tempo armazenamento foi 21 28 dias, mais 2 dias comercialização simulada. À temperatura ambiente, a durabilidade dos próxima uma semana, não tendo sido possível sua avaliação. Aos as frutas mantidas embaladas...
Exercise performance in 41 men with impaired left ventricular function following an acute myocardial infarction was studied. Twenty (intervention group) subsequently underwent a 4-month supervised exercise training programme outpatient capacity, three sessions per week. On completion, compared to the 21 control patients who received conventional rehabilitation. Initial tests showed no difference between two groups. At end of significant improvement found all investigated parameters...
A 53-year-old female was admitted to the cardiology department on account of signs and symptoms congestive heart failure with severe peripheral edema dyspnea exertion (New York Heart Association class III) for past 3 months.
Thank you for your interest and insightful comments on our article [...].
A 55-year-old woman was admitted to the Cardiology Department due a poorly tolerated attack of tachyarrhythmia. The patient enrolled in electrophysiology study (EPS) with radiofrequency ablation (RF). After few applications, during transseptal puncture, demonstrated neurological syndrome form progressive aphasia and weakness right extremities. Computed tomography angiography showed dissection left common carotid artery internal thrombus within their lumen. Intravenous thrombolytic therapy...
