Material and methods In six beagle dogs, mandibular premolars first molars were extracted bilaterally. right side mandible (test), flaps elevated, well part lingual masticatory was removed. The flap released coronally allow a primary wound closure. left side, wounds unsutured with remaining (control). After 3...
In candidates for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), the choice between pacemaker (CRT-P) and defibrillator (CRT-D) implantation is still debated. We compared long-term prognosis of patients who received CRT-D or CRT-P according to class IA recommendations European Society Cardiology (ESC) were enrolled in a multicentre prospective registry. A total 620 heart failure underwent successful CRT device Contak Italian Registry. This analysis included 266 108 ESC indications. Their survival...
Abstract Background Few studies have analyzed the clinical and echocardiographic differences between light‐chain ( AL ) transthyretin TTR amyloidosis. Hypothesis The aim of present research was to compare, in a real‐world setting, profiles these kinds amyloidosis, at time diagnosis, using new‐generation echocardiography. Methods Seventy‐nine patients with 48 amyloidosis were studied. Results According criterion mean left ventricular LV thickness >12 mm, 45 (C‐ all had cardiac amyloidotic...
Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and tachycardia (VT) arising from papillary muscles of both ventricles have recently been described. There is a lack data on VT originating the right (RV PAP) muscles. no prior studies focused electrocardiogram (ECG) features ablation PVC/VT septal muscle ventricle.Among 155 consecutive patients with normal structural heart who underwent catheter PVC/VT, 8 RV PAP were identified. The site origin arrhythmias was identified through activation/pace mapping...
