Postoperative atrial fibrillation (pAF) after coronary artery bypass grafting is a common complication. Whether pAF associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) remains uncertain. We investigated the association between and long-term CVA by performing post hoc analysis 10-year outcomes ART (Arterial Revascularization Trial).For present analysis, among patients enrolled in (n=3102), we excluded those who did not undergo surgery (n=25), had history (n=45), or no...
The aim of the study was to answer question whether chronic periodontitis (CP) in patients with essential hypertension is associated increased aortic stiffness and central blood pressure (CBP), which may turn increase left ventricular mass (LVM) those patients. CP influences LVM hypertensive renal as well healthy subjects; however, mechanisms involved are not clear.Fifty (23 men 27 women, 51.4 +/- 5.2 years, body index (BMI) 29.5 4.4 kg/m(2)) severe CP-Community Periodontal Index Treatment...
New therapies for refractory angina are needed.Assessment of transendocardial delivery bone marrow CD133+ cells in patients with angina.Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 31 recurrent Canadian Cardiovascular Society II-IV angina, despite optimal medical therapy, ≥1 myocardial segment inducible ischemia Tc-99m SPECT who underwent biopsy and were allocated to (n=16) or placebo (n=15). Primary end point was absolute change by SPECT. Secondary points left ventricular...

Blood pressure and left ventricular mass in subjects with type 2 diabetes gingivitis or chronic periodontitis. J Clin Periodontol 2010; 37: 875–880. doi: 10.1111/j.1600‐051X.2010.01613.x . Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to answer the question of whether periodontitis mellitus is associated increased (LVM) systemic central blood (CBP). Material Methods: One hundred fifty‐five (67 F, 88 mean age...
Periodontal disease (PD) may cause a systemic inflammatory reaction and contribute to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertensive subjects. This study aimed assess whether chronic PD LVH patients after kidney transplantation. The analyzed 99 divided according Community Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) score into with advanced (CPITN 3-4) without or moderate periodontal lesions 0-2). Patients CPITN 3 4 were characterized by significantly higher plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive...
Abstract: Objective: The aim of the study is to analyze whether chronic periodontitis (CP) influences serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α, interleukin (IL)‐6, and high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP) concentrations in renal transplant recipients patients or graft survival. Background: CP associated both with higher cytokines CRP high cardiovascular risk. Methods: One hundred seventeen a transplanted kidney (Tx) were divided according Community Periodontal Index Treatment Needs...
Background There is still uncertainty about the safety of aprotinin for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The ART (Arterial Revascularization Trial) was designed to compare survival after bilateral versus single internal thoracic grafting. Many patients (≈30%) received perioperative aprotinin. We investigated association between administration and short‐term (in‐hospital) long‐term outcomes by performing a post hoc analysis . Methods Results Among enrolled in (n=3102) from 2004 2007, we...
Healthcare is currently struggling to provide access and coverage for an increasingly diverse aging population who frequently have multiple co-morbid conditions complicating their care medical management.

Abstract: Background: Low plasma is associated with more frequent occurrence of (LVH) exaggerated intima‐media thickness common carotid artery (IMT). IMT an early surrogate marker atherosclerosis. This study aimed to assess the relationship between mass index...
Background: The REGENT-VSEL trial demonstrated a neutral effect of transendocardial injection autologous bone marrow (BM)-derived CD133+ in regard to myocardial ischemia. current sub-analysis the REGENT VSEL aims assess stem cell therapy has on quality life (QoL) patients with refractory angina. Methods: Thirty-one (63.0 ± 6.4 years, 70% male) recurrent CCS II–IV angina, despite optimal medical therapy, enrolled single center, randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled trial.

Chronic periodontitis (CP) is associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality in different populations. The aim of this study was to examine an association CP hard endpoints patients after kidney transplantation during a 15-year follow-up period. Study group consist 117 (77M/40F, median age 44 years) divided into two subgroups: those initially advanced (CPITN 3–4) no or moderate 0–2). All events, graft losses, re-transplantations were recorded. deaths noted verified, including occurred...
Extracellular amyloid deposition in brain tissue is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Despite being the most common neurodegenerative disorder, it poses major diagnostic challenge due to lack disease-specific biomarkers. Additionally, plaque-forming deposits are not unique disease, but also present high proportion elderly, as well patients with other conditions such dementia Lewy bodies. Histopathological examination only reliable method for diagnosing practically impossible perform vivo....
