Cell transplantation for the regeneration of ischemic myocardium is limited by poor graft viability and low cell retention. In cardiomyopathy extracellular matrix deeply altered; therefore, it could be important to associate a procedure aiming at regenerating myocardial cells restoring function. We evaluated intrainfarct therapy associated with cell-seeded collagen scaffold grafted onto infarcted ventricles. 15 patients (aged 54.2 ± 3.8 years) presenting LV postischemic scars indication...
The extent to which health care systems have adapted the COVID-19 pandemic provide necessary cardiac diagnostic services is unknown. aim of this study was determine impact on testing practices, volumes and types services, perceived psychological stress providers worldwide. International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations from baseline in cardiovascular at pandemic's onset 1 year later. Multivariable regression used factors associated with procedure volume...
To assess both ventricular function and myocardial perfusion, five normal volunteers, 19 patients with coronary artery disease, two cardiomyopathy arteries were injected 20 mCi of Tc-99m isonitrile (either methoxyisobutyl or carbomethoxyisopropyl isonitrile) at peak bicycle exercise again rest. A standard Tl-201 stress test was performed in all the same level within one month study. In subjects, perfusion levels left ejection fraction increased 5% more exercise. response to abnormal 14...
Knowledge on dietary habits, tobacco and alcohol consumption in adolescents is crucial to plan early preventive programs. The objective was assess the eating physical activity of Buenos Aires, order get information cardiovascular risk factors.Cross-sectional observational study aged 11-16 years 12 urban rural, public private schools province Aires. An anonymous survey carried out including demographical data, activity, smoking consumption.1230 were surveyed, 46% rural zones. Of them, 42.5%...
This aim of this study was to evaluate the presence endothelial dysfunction in patients with primary hypertension and determine usefulness nebivolol, a selective β-adrenoceptor blocking agent, as potential treatment for dysfunction. Of 176 stage I hypertension, 36 (20%), majority whom were overweight/obese, found have abnormal results myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MP-SPECT) under cold pressor test conditions. These treated 28 days 5 mg/d after which only 3...
Introducción: Con el objetivo de establecer diagnóstico amiloidosis cardíaca por transtiretina (AC-TTR) en etapas precoces, los últimos años, se lograron identificar ciertas señales alerta o ¨banderas rojas¨ para orientar la sospecha. Sin embargo, hasta momento, contamos con escasa evidencia a cerca sensibilidad y especificidad diagnóstica cada bandera roja si existe alguna combinación variables que pueda predecir forma confiable presencia AC-TTR. Objetivo: Desarrollar un modelo predicción...
Background: To verify the diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) in its early stages, certain warning signs or "red flags" have been lately identified to guide suspicion. However, date, there is little evidence regarding diagnostic sensitivity and specificity each red flag whether any combination variables that can reliably predict presence ATTR-CA. Objective: The aim this study was develop a prediction model based on clinical, electrocardiographic and/or echocardiographic...
Most patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have asymmetric septal hypertrophy and among them, 25% present dynamic subaortic obstruction. Apical HCM is unusual mid-ventricular the most infrequent presentation, but both variants may be associated to an apical aneurysm. An even more rare presentation coexistece HCM. This case a combination of obstructive aneurysm, which date, has not been reported in literature. The patient 49 year-old lady who presents midventricular HCM, gradient 65...
El surgimiento de nueva evidencia científica en los últimos años relación con síndromes coronarios crónicos (SCC) lleva a reconsiderar las recomendaciones diagnósticas y terapéuticas que históricamente guiaron nuestra práctica médica. Sin embargo, es importante destacar gran parte la información difundida carece un análisis crítico riguroso, lo nos expone al riesgo incorporar nuevos algoritmos clínica podrían no ser completamente aplicables población. En esta revisión se analiza literatura...
Abstract Background Historically, a positive exercise stress test (EST) with normal myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients without obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) was considered false of the EST and associated good prognosis. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that ischemia may present itself due microvascular dysfunction (MVD) even absence CAD. The assessment MVD can be conducted both invasively non-invasively, latter involving determination flow reserve (MFR). Various...
Background: Several methods are available for the assessment of coronary endothelial function, but there no reports to date regarding usefulness cold pressor stress echocardiography (CPSE). Objective: To assess regional systolic and diastolic left ventricular function using CPSE in patients with dysfunction. Methods: We studied 24 patients, whom 10 were men, aged 27 68 years, who had risk factors a normal exercise MP‐SPECT test. They compared subjects (6 men), 21 44 years. All underwent...
