Left ventricle remodeling after anterior wall myocardial infarction leads to increased left volumes, stress, and ultimately heart failure (HF). Treatment options are limited for these high-risk HF patients. A study was conducted assess safety feasibility of a percutaneous ventricular restoration therapy using the Parachute device in subjects with because cardiac ischemic event.Thirty-nine New York Heart Association class II IV HF, ejection fraction between 15% 40%, dilated akinetic or...
There is ongoing debate regarding the efficacy of radial artery (RA) as an aortocoronary conduit, with few solid data long-term clinical results. We sought to determine if use RA second arterial beside left internal thoracic (LITA), would improve outcome after CABG compared saphenous vein graft (SVG).Between March 2001 and November 2003, 200 patients underwent isolated were randomized in 1:1 fashion receive either LITA grafts or SVGs. The primary end point was composite cardiovascular...
Abstract Background and Aims Remnant cholesterol in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins is associated observationally causally with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We aimed to evaluate attainment guideline recommended targets for lipid lowering treatment, blood pressure physical activity level patients documented disease its relation EUROASPIRE score (for Serbian population) as well the remnant cholesterol. Methods Patients who were included The SUrvey CVD Risk Factors...
Mitral incompetence is a chronic sequela of myocardial infarction. It caused by apical displacement and tethering the mitral valve leaflets after infarction, resulting in incomplete coaptation. The consensus for surgery presence significant ischemic regurgitation (IMR). Previously, only option was replacement (MVR) with mechanical or tissue valve. suboptimal results obtained prompted development several methods repair. Today, most commonly used repair undersized annuloplasty.We conducted...
Some oligoelements are now investigated as possibly having a role in atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to compare the concentrations copper and zinc serum carotid plaque parameters lipid metabolism patients with different morphology atherosclerotic plaque.Carotid endarterectomy due significant stenosis performed 91 (mean age 64 ± 7). control group consisted 27 58 9), without Atheroscletoric plaques were divided into four morphological groups, according ultrasonic intraoperative...
Oxidative stress (OS) plays an important role in atherogenesis and since glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) provide protection against OS, we have tested the hypothesis that deletion polymorphisms two GSTs (GSTM1 GSTT1) may affect risk of developing atherosclerosis. A total 382 individuals (200 patients with atherosclerosis 182 healthy controls) were included this association study. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood cells or buccal epithelial genotyping performed using...
To determine prognostic implications of the assessment right (RV) vs. left ventricular (LV) contractile reserve with dobutamine echocardiography in patients idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.Forty-eight consecutive (41 male, NYHA class III/IV 13 patients, LV ejection fraction 19+/-8%) were subjected to stress incremental stages lasting 5 min each. Contractile was defined as difference between values and RV fractional area change obtained at peak dose baseline values. Patients followed for...
Abstract Background Prognostic value of concomitant aprtic regurgitation (AR) in patients operated for severe aortic stenosis (AS) is not clarified. The aim this study was to prospectively examine the impact presence and severity AR AS on long-term functional capacity, left ventricular (LV) function mortality. Methods Study group consisted 110 consecutive due AS. were divided into (56 with without or mild AR) AS+AR (54 moderate, very AR). Follow-up included clinical examination, six minutes...
