Abstract. Jaumdally RJ, Goon PKY, Varma C, Blann AD, Lip GYH (City Hospital, Birmingham, United Kingdom). Effects of atorvastatin on circulating CD34+/CD133+/CD45− progenitor cells and indices angiogenesis (vascular endothelial growth factor the angiopoietins 1 2) in atherosclerotic vascular disease diabetes mellitus. J Intern Med 2010; 267 : 385–393. Background. Cardiovascular (CVD) remains a major cause morbidity mortality, especially presence diabetes, possibly because damage. Increased...
The aim of this study was to compare rates target lesion revascularisation (TLR) and total mortality between South Asians (SAs) White Europeans (WEs) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).We followed a cohort 293 SAs 865 WEs patients admitted for elective or urgent PCI de novo lesions. For each patient, baseline cardiovascular risk factors angiographic data were obtained. Patients had long-term follow-up all-cause TLR.Patients up over median period 54 months (inter-quartile...
Objective: To determine the effect of multisite pacing on left ventricular function. Design: Prospective observational study. Patients: 18 patients with heart failure a dilated poorly functioning ventricle (LV) and bundle branch block. Interventions: Pacing for 5 minutes in random order at right (RV) apex, RV outflow tract, mid posterolateral LV, apex LV simultaneously, tract simultaneously. The best achieved measurements RV, biventricular were compared. Main outcome measures: dimension,...
To evaluate reduction of door-to-balloon (DTB) time and its impact on in-hospital mortality high-risk infarct patients in a collaboration district general hospitals (DGH) with physician-to-patient model.Primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PPCI) short DTB offer benefit for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction but literatures are conflicting this high- vs. low-risk patients. In unique model at Sandwell West Birmingham Hospitals, five interventional cardiologists provide 24-h...
Paradoxical coronary artery embolism causing acute myocardial infarction in a young woman with factor V Leiden thrombophillia ABSTRACT is rare but under-diagnosed cause of (AMI) and requires high level clinical suspicion to make an early diagnosis.We describe the case who presented severe cough chest pain was subsequently found have paradoxical embolus right artery.Echocardiography showed patent foramen ovale (PFO) atrial septal aneurysm (ASA).The patient be heterozygous carrier mutation...
Nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and insulin have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (Type 2 diabetes) coronary artery disease (CAD). We hypothesized that intracardiac levels NEFA within aortic root, sinus systemic venous would be different patients with atherosclerosis and/or diabetes. also studied metabolic cardiac response following percutaneous intervention (PCI).A total 67 subjects (42 males; mean age 60 +/- 11 years) were recruited, which three groups identified:...
VARMA, C., et al .: Comparison Between Biventricular Pacing and Single Site in Patients with Poor Ventricular Function: A Hemodynamic Study. pacing has been suggested as offering greater hemodynamic benefit than single site patients advanced heart failure left bundle branch block. This was tested using acute multisite pacing. Eighteen such were atrial‐sensed, ventricular paced random order for 5 minutes. The best achieved measure of cardiac output (CO), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure...
The aim of this study was to audit the management hyperlipidaemia in a cohort 206 consecutive patients, with known or suspected coronary artery disease, referred for diagnostic angiography. association lipid subfraction values presence and extent disease explored identify indices greatest potential value hospital cardiologist, secondary prevention. Patients were questioned about previous tests performed, advice received treatment prescribed. Referral letters notes reviewed documentation...
Abstract Introduction The Genous stent is a bare metal (BMS) together with technique of capturing endothelial progenitor cells. successor the cell (EPC) stent, COMBO combines this drug eluting polymer. current studies showed promising results however additional value EPC in overcoming neointimal hyperplasia has yet to be proven. Purpose This study sought evaluate efficacy and safety compared BMS patient population low risk for restenosis. Methods TRIAS-LR was an investigator-initiated,...
Abstract Background One of the major long-term disadvantages percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains in-stent restenosis and need for repeat revascularisation. The polymer-regulated delivery cytotoxic or cytostatic drugs, on drug-eluting stents (DES), impede natural healing response damaged vessel wall. In animals, endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) beneficially influence repair wall after damage by stent placement. It is hypothesized that immobilisation EPCs differentiate into a...
A computer system to calculate left ventricular (LV) cavity dimension (LVD) from M-mode echocardiography, and LV pressure (LVP) micromanometer tipped catheter simultaneously was developed. An operator marked the posterior wall septal endocardial borders, LVP tracing, reference points on a scanned bitmap image of echocardiogram trace. Individual lines were automatically recognized in bitmap, values at individual recalculated missing data interpolated. The time functions LVD constructed....
Background As a result of increased cost and bleeding concerns, older patients receive abciximab during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) less often than younger patients. Objective The aim this was to evaluate the safety efficacy in adults undergoing PCI. Design Retrospective, observational single centre cohort study. Methods British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS) database used establish impact people with advanced age (≥ 75 years) on in-hospital ischaemic events...
Desmoplastic fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor primarily seen in long bones and mandible. Our case was of 10-year-old with painless infra orbital swelling for which she underwent excision under general anesthesia reconstruction plating iliac crest grafting. By its unique clinical presentation diagnostic challenges encountered managing this condition, report expands our understanding the disease’s management, it guides future therapeutic decision-making similar pediatric cases.
