Background: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout world. Well‐known risk factors independently or combined participate in both myocardial infarction atherosclerosis. Recent data have shown that viral bacterial infections may also contribute to acute thromboembolic events. The aim present study was investigate possible association between periodontal health coronary patients with chronic disease. Methods: A total 120 patients, 60 (AMI) (CCHD) were...
Background: Recurrent vasovagal syncope (VVS) can be a severely disabling disorder that may lead to an important deterioration of quality life because the severity and recurrence episodes. This study sought investigate effectiveness repeated orthostatic self‐training in preventing patients with recurrent VVS. Methods: Eighty‐two consecutive (mean age 41 ± 4 years, 37 males) VVS episodes positive head‐up tilt testing (HUT) were enrolled this study. The then randomized (1:1) conventional...
Background: The aim of this study is to compare salivary and serum biomarker levels degrees matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activation between patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) systemically healthy (non‐AMI) similar periodontal conditions. Methods: A total 92 (47 AMI 28 non‐AMI gingivitis or periodontitis; 17 periodontally as a control group) were recruited. Clinical measurements recorded; stimulated whole saliva samples collected. clinically examined within 3 4 days after...
Objectives: Levosimendan is a novel positive inotropic calcium sensitiser agent used in acute left heart failure. In this study, the effect of levosimendan on right ventricular systolic and diastolic functions was evaluated by tissue Doppler comparing them with dobutamine patients ischaemic Methods: Patients having an decompensated failure cardiomyopathy ejection fraction < 40% were included study. Before 24-h after treatment, peak (Sa), early (Ea), late (Aa) annular velocities Ea/Aa ratio...
Objective: The relationship between myocardial bridging (MB) and ischemic heart disease is still controversial. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the existing atherosclerosis noninvasive endothelial function of brachial artery in patients with MB. Methods: present study included 50 (group I) who had MB left anterior descending (LAD) on coronary angiography. All segments were evaluated by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Endothelial was assessed measurement flow‐mediated dilatation (FMD)...
Abstract Balloon mitral valvuloplasty with Inoue technique was performed in two group of patients. In I (n = 40) under fluoroscopy without using echocardiography, whereas II 13) the guidance transesophageal echocardiography alone, fluoroscopy. Patients groups were comparable regard to clinical variables and hemodynamic parameters. Two female patients pregnant. Transmitral pressure gradient decrease did not differ significantly between (pressure gradient: 17 ± 5 4 1 15 3 mm Hg II). Mitral...
Background: Periodontitis has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Systemic reactions associated with events may depend on characteristics the subgingival microflora in periodontitis. Our objectives were compare numbers cultivable bacteria, composition and clonal distribution Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans ( A. ) two groups patients generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP), one an acute myocardial infarction (AMI‐GCP) other without AMI (non–AMI‐GCP). Methods: In...
The most cardiovascular physiological and pathophysiological events show a circadian rhythm. It is thought that the autonomic nervous system biologic factors play key role in pathogenesis of vasovagal syncope (VVS). In this study, we investigated infradian variation VVS.A prospective consecutive series 246 patients (142 women; mean age 36+/-7 years) with recurrent positive head-up tilt testing (HUT) were included study. daily weekly distributions syncopal episodes investigated. assessments...
Abstract Background With further progression of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, the atrial (LA) contribution to LV filling gradually decreases, and LA dysfunction deteriorates decreased in patients with heart failure (HF). Hypothesis This study sought investigate effects levosimendan on function HF. Methods A total 60 having acute decompensated HF ischemic cardiomyopathy ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% were included study. Patients randomized (n = 30) or dobutamine 30). Before 24 h...
Abstract Aims Left ventricular non‐compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a poorly understood entity resulting in heart failure. Whether it distinct form of or an anatomical phenotype subject discussion. The current diagnosis based on morphologic findings by comparing the compacted to non‐compacted myocardium. study aimed compare demographic and prognostic variables patients with dilated (DCM) LVNC. Emphasis was given cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging analysis. Data survival were also...
There are indications that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may have an effect on the oral environment, which is reflected in expression of salivary and gingival proteinases. According to our knowledge, no studies been carried out investigate AMI activities two major tissue-destructive serine protease microbial effectors, elastase cathepsin G, produced by fluid polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN). Therefore, we compared G saliva from patients with systemically healthy subjects (non-AMI)...
Abstract Background Levosimendan improves cardiac contractility without increasing oxygen consumption. However, its effects on ischemia were not supported with the utilization of a noninvasive parameter myocardial characterization. Hypothesis The changes observed in integrated backscatter (IBS) may be reflective change ischemia. In this study, effect levosimendan detected by IBS was evaluated patients ischemic heart failure (HF). Methods Patients who had LVEF < 40% and NYHA III–IV...
The inflammatory response, initiated by neutrophil and monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells, is important in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes. Platelets play an role process interacting with monocytes neutrophils. In this study, we investigated effect tirofiban on levels cell molecules (soluble intercellular molecule-1, sICAM-1, vascular sVCAM-1) patients unstable angina pectoris (AP). Thirty-five AP (Group I), ten stable II) subjects who had angiographycally normal arteries...
