Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a virulent viral infection that affects number of organs and systems. This study examined if SARS may result in cardiovascular complications.121 patients (37.5 (SD13.2) years, 36% male) diagnosed to have were assessed continuously for blood pressure, pulse, temperature during their stay hospital. Hypotension occurred 61 (50.4%) hospital, was found 28.1%, 21.5%, 14.8% the first, second, third week, respectively. Only one patient who had transient...
The use of a retrograde approach and algorithm-driven CTO (chronic total occlusion) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become widespread, many registries have reported good results. This study established new algorithm applied it to current practice collected registry document the It compared outcomes versus antegrade in contemporary multicentre registry.Between 1 January 2016 31 December 2016, consecutive patients who underwent PCI performed by eight high-volume operators were...
To evaluate whether short-axis function plays a part in determining left ventricular (LV) geometric and functional improvement after cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT).39 patients who received CRT were enrolled. 2D speckle tracking echocardiography was performed at baseline three months to assess mean systolic circumferential (epsilon-circum), radial (epsilon-radial) longitudinal (epsilon-long) strain torsion. Responders of reverse remodelling (n = 21) had higher epsilon-circum than...
The present study aims to evaluate LV (left ventricular) mechanical dyssynchrony in CAD (coronary artery disease) with preserved and depressed EF (ejection fraction). Echocardiography TDI (tissue Doppler imaging) was performed 311 consecutive patients (94 had > or =50% 217 <50%) 117 healthy subjects determine systolic diastolic by measuring Ts-SD (S.D. of time peak myocardial velocity during the ejection period) Te-SD early filling respectively, using a six-basal/six-mid-segmental model. In...
Abstract Antegrade dissection reentry with Stingray device (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA) accounts for 20–34% of the chronic total occlusion (CTO) cases in various hybrid operators' CTO registries and is an important component crossing algorithms. The can facilitate antegrade reentry, however its use low outside North America Europe. Asia Pacific Club along three experience operators from US, Europe India, created algorithm guiding CrossBoss catheter. This APCTO defines when to...
Abstract Objectives: We analyzed door‐to‐balloon times in our institution to identify those factors which significantly prolong time treatment ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Background: Recent data have shown that patients with transferred from one another for PCI and presenting outside of normal working hours suffer considerably prolonged times. Methods: the its components January 2005 March 2006 167 consecutive STEMI determine variables were associated delays. Results: The...
Incessant supraventricular tachycardia leading to reversible Cardiomyopathy has been reported. usually only develops after prolonged episodes of at a significant heart rate. Left ventricular free‐wall pathways rarely cause fast and incessant tachycardia. Therefore not reported with left pathway‐mediated We report on two cases free‐wall‐mediated radiofrequency ablation. These illustrate the difficulty in diagnosing tachycardia‐mediated Cardiomyopathy, as may be clinically silent. In addition,...
