We sought to determine whether myocarditis can be a major cause of acute electrical instability or clinical deterioration in HCM patients.A total 119 patients (69 M/50F, mean age 41 +/- 8), 42 with and 77 clinically stable, underwent cardiac catheterization left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy gene analysis sarcomeric proteins. Endomyocardial tissue was processed for histology, immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction the most common cardiotropic viruses. Controls were surgical...
Type II endoleak is the most common complication after endovascular aneurysm repair and require close surveillance. Hence, need to validate new techniques as alternative helical CT-scan, reference standard. The aim of this study evaluate efficacy Cadence Contrast Pulse Sequencing ultrasound technique with second generation contrast agents in detecting endoleaks, compare results data obtained from CTA.30 patients stent grafts, during their regular follow-up consisting serial CT exams...
Background Glutathione is a water-soluble tripeptide with potent oxidant scavenging activity. We hypothesized that glutathione administration immediately before and after primary angioplasty (primary percutaneous coronary intervention) could be effective in modulating immune cell activation, thereby preventing infarct expansion. Methods Results One hundred consecutive patients ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction, scheduled to undergo intervention were randomly assigned the receive an...
The prescription of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)) to patients with a history hypersensitivity this drug could prove harmful. aim the study was assess antiplatelet activity and safety combined treatment indobufen clopidogrel in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) aspirin, undergoing stenting. Forty-two consecutive ACS treated stent implantation were randomly assigned receive 75 mg daily (loading dose 300 mg) plus 100 twice day (group A), or daily, after loading B). Platelet monitored both...
We investigated myocardial perfusion in acute patients with slow coronary flow (SCF) at angiography. Whether impaired occurs SCF is unknown.We enrolled 28 consecutive the epicardial arteries no evidence of significant stenosis. affected a single artery 14 (group A) and all three vessels others B). Coronary angiography was repeated after dipyridamole infusion photon emission computed tomography performed using as stress agent. The Thrombolysis Myocardial Infarction frame count measured...
The aim of this study was to compare the risk death predictive performances OP-RISK, EuroSCORE, and Italian coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) Outcome studies' functions when applied a southern cardiac surgery center (Sant'Anna hospital in Catanzaro [SAHCZ]), which contributed data CABG study, see if index may be on- off-pump interventions.The OP-RISK set used derive Weibull logistic predict early (28 days) late (1 year) rates following based on ejection fraction, heart rate, age, aortic...
In patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) anaemia is a common finding and may worsen clinical conditions. Moreover, CHF itself could be involved in the pathogenesis of anaemia. Early studies suggested pathogenic role inflammation mediators.The objectives study were to assess relationship between haemoglobin (Hgb) plasma levels, investigate possible link fibrinogen levels anaemia.This retrospective included consecutively hospitalized left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%....
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a mainly transient and acute heart failure mimicking an coronary syndrome. Originally described in postmenopausal women, over time TTS has been associated with increasingly advanced age. Emotional physical triggers precipitating have correlated most cases. The aim of our work was to detect differences between patients or without recognizable preceding the onset symptoms.We enrolled 22 consecutive patients. They were all women average age 71 ± 12 (range 40-90)...
The long-term outcome of extended dual antiplatelet therapy after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unexplored. purpose the study was to evaluate 2 year safety and efficacy continuous treatment in patients undergoing primary PCI with paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).A series 145 consecutive STEMI underwent PES. All received intracoronary high dose bolus 24 hours i.v. infusion tirofiban were then treated anti-aggregation up...
