Antiplatelet therapy is considered as a standard procedure against atherosclerotic cardiovscular disease but this has limited effect if resistance to acetylsalicylic acid or clopidogrel present. Important factors associated with are gender; inflammation possibly membrane microparticles (MP). It was decided challenge the hypothesis that differential responses dual antiplatelet conditioned by gender and/or proinflammatory status. The study involved 160 patients stable coronary heart (118 men,...
Antiplatelet therapy resistance against acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and/or clopidogrel in coronary heart disease (CHD) is common with diabetes mellitus. One factor might involve platelet receptor ITGB3 gene polymorphism. We aimed to assess together reactivity parameters, the polymorphism, plus type 2 coexistence. The study included 185 patients CHD, including 58 diabetics, aged 62.3 ± 8.2 years. Patients were treated long-term ASA, clopidogrel, both 75 mg/d. Platelet aggregation was measured...
Background: The rate of cardiac device–related infective endocarditis (CDRIE) is increasing worldwide, but no detailed data are available for Poland. Aims: We aimed to evaluate clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic patients hospitalized due CDRIE in 22 Polish referential cardiology centers from May 1, 2016 2017. Methods: Participating departments were asked fill a questionnaire that included on the number patients, types implanted electrotherapy devices, cases. also collected clinical...
Many studies have shown gender differences in the progress of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). These include, amongst others, processes involved hemostasis and inflammation, present study we put forward hypothesis that these are primary cause other differences. The included 66 ACS patients (27 women 39 men) aged 43 - 83 years, 23 with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) ST-elevation (STEMI). Blood samples were taken on day 3 or 5 (STEMI) after hospitalization, fibrinogen,...
Abstract Background Sense‐B‐noise is a newly reported possible cause of inappropriate shocks in patients with subcutaneous implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (S‐ICDs). The nature that noise unknown, it not related to mechanical failure the S‐ICD system. Reprogramming secondary sensing vector suggested by producer as solution. Methods We analyzed medical records recipients from two university clinical centers (Gdansk and Szczecin, Poland). Our aim was determine rate sense‐B‐noise,...
Stress echocardiography (SE) is widely used in Europe. No collective data have been available on the use of SE Poland until now.To evaluate number investigations performed Poland, their settings, complications, and results.In this retrospective survey, referral cardiology centres were asked to fill a questionnaire regarding examinations from May 1, 2014 2015.The study included 17 university hospitals large community hospitals, which 4611 exa-minations, including 4408 tests patients...
We present a case of 67-year-old patient who significantly benefit from conduction system pacing. The presence septal scar initially limited chance success. Ineffective attempt to upgrade the ICD CRT along with end stage heart failure despite optimal medical therapy, however, forced us make an existing CSP. procedure itself was demanding, but after numerous attempts we achieved satisfactory electrocardiographic effect. What surprised most that clinical effect turned out be spectacular.
Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common metabolic disorders in European population. A low level 25-OH vitamin D3 related to an elevated risk myocardial infarction (MI). The aim our study was examine relationship between calcidiol and calcitriol serum concentration left ventricular ejection fraction early after interventional treatment for acute coronary syndrome. total 80 patients diagnosed with MI, who underwent primary percutaneous intervention, were included study. Blood samples...
Patent foramen ovale ( PFO ) is thought to be a risk factor for decompression illness DCI ). Catheter‐based closure procedure reduces the of in selected scuba divers with . Major complication invasive approach are rare, minor, especially heart rhythm disturbances reported relatively often. We describe case 41‐year‐old diver, who underwent due recurrent events. Afterward, he experienced no symptoms; however, complained about feeling beating during submersion. Arrhythmia should considered as...
Stress echocardiography (stress echo), with use of both old and new ultrasonographic cardiac function imaging techniques, has nowadays become a widely available, safe inexpensive diagnostic method.Cardiac stress, such as exercise or an inotropic agent, allows for dynamic assessment wide range functional parameters describing ventricles, heart valves pulmonary circulation.In addition to diagnosis ischemic disease, stress is also used in patients acquired congenital valvular defects,...
Abstract Background and objective Clopidogrel is frequently used as part of optimal dual antiplatelet therapy in high-bleeding risk patients with the acute coronary syndrome. The concentration inactive carboxylic acid metabolite clopidogrel might be useful to evaluate response therapy. Therefore, we sought correlate inhibition platelet aggregation plasma level after percutaneous interventions (PCI) their associations most studied genetic polymorphisms. For this purpose, fast simple HPLC...
Infekcyjne zapalenie wsierdzia obejmujące wszczepione urządzenie do elektroterapii serca stanowi coraz częstszy problem w praktyce klinicznej. Postępowania diagnostyczne i terapeutyczne przypadku podejrzenia zakażenia związanego z urządzeniem wszczepialnym budzi wiele kontrowersji. W niniejszym artykule zaprezentowano historię choroby młodego pacjenta wrodzonym blokiem przedsionkowo-komorowym III stopnia implantowanym stymulatorem serca, u którego rozpoznano infekcyjne wegetacją na...
