Despite major advances in managing coronary artery disease and continuous research on alternative techniques to enhance myocardial perfusion reduce symptoms, is still one of the leading causes adult disability worldwide. Cardiac shock-wave therapy (CSWT) has shown promising results amelioration ischemia experimental studies; however, clinical are limited single-center, mostly uncontrolled underpowered trials. The current study aimed evaluate whether CSWT can improve exercise tolerance...
Recent triple-blind sham procedure-controlled study revealed neutral effects of the cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) on exercise tolerance and symptoms in patients with stable angina. Current data about CSWT global regional myocardial contractility perfusion is limited. Hereby we report results an imaging sub-study that evaluated capacity to ameliorate ischemia induced during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).Prospective, randomized,...
Despite revascularization and optimal medical treatment (OMT), patients with angina often have a reduced quality of life due to inadequate relief from symptoms. Recent studies shown that the application shock waves may reduce symptoms improve life, exercise capacity, myocardial perfusion stimulation angiogenesis. However, there is limited evidence small, single-arm, single-center low moderate quality. The purpose this study evaluate impact cardiac wave therapy (CSWT) on tolerance in coronary...
Previous studies have observed poorer outcomes in females with myocardial infarction, but older age and lower use of percutaneous coronary intervention are factors that potentially explain the worse outcome. This study sought to determine if female sex is an independent factor ischemic bleeding non-ST-segment-elevation acute syndrome treated a systematic invasive approach.The TAO trial (Treatment Acute Coronary Syndrome With Otamixaban) randomized patients invasively heparin plus...
In this study, we have sought for differences between cardiovascular magnetic resonance patterns of acute myocarditis and myocardial infarction.A prospective analysis 110 consecutive patients was performed. The presence, precise location, pattern late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by were investigated.The subendocardial LGE much more frequent in the infarction group (76.7%) than (10.0%) (P<0.001). Meanwhile, midmyocardial typical (65.0%) (1.1%) (P<0.001), epicardial also (55.0%) (0.0%)...
Background. Recurrence affects about 30% (20% to 50%) of patients within 18 months after the initial episode acute pericarditis resulting in subsequent rehospitalizations. Bearing mind high treatment costs admitted hospital with and recurrent pericarditis, there is a need optimize both these conditions. Materials methods. We present case pericarditis. The first was diagnosed 2006. Three later patient hospitalized due clinical symptoms suggesting recurrence past condition. Ten years for...
Cardiac shock-wave therapy (CSWT) is a non-invasive regenerative treatment method based on low-frequency ultrasound waves, which stimulate angiogenesis. Current data about the effects of revascularization procedures angiogenesis biomarkers limited. Recently, an association catestatin and endocan with coronary collateral development was shown in several trials. In this study, we aimed to evaluate impact CSWT dynamics levels assess their correlation parameters myocardial perfusion...
A 26-year-old female presented with a 1-month history of chest pain, low-grade fever, and dyspnoea. The pericardial friction rub was audible. Electrocardiogram X-ray were normal; mild monocytosis, slightly elevated C-reactive protein observed. separation layers up to 6 mm due non-homogeneous fluid ( Panel A, arrows ) observed on the transthoracic echocardiography (Supplementary data online, Movie S1 ). Interventricular septum (IS) bounce towards …
Summary We report a case of 37-year-old male, who was admitted to the Vilnius University hospital Santaros Klinikos emergency department suffering from acute chest pain. ECG and elevated troponin level confirmed ST-elevation myocardial infarction, although coronary angiogram had not shown hemodynamically significant changes in arteries. Patient after using cocaine day ago. To conclude, infarction is rare, but serious consequence use. Clinicians should consider interrogating all young...
Abstract Background There is uncertainty regarding whether female sex an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Purpose We sought to describe and compare ischemic bleeding between men women with Non–ST-segment–Elevation (NSTE) ACS enrolled the large Treatment Acute Otamixaban (TAO) trial which antithrombotic treatment was standardized a systematic invasive approach performed. Methods The TAO randomized moderate high-risk NSTE-ACS patients diagnostic...
Aim. To evaluate effects of various protocols cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) on quality life and exercise tolerance in patients with stable angina against the background optimal medication (OMT). Material methods . Overall 53 (37 men, 16 women) were included study. The mean age examined was 67,3 ±8,1 years. Inclusion criteria: CCS class I-IV pectoris, for at least 1 month before inclusion study a course coronary artery disease more than 3 months (no cardiovascular events) Patients divided...
Summary We report a case of 36-year-old man who was admitted to the Vilnius University Hospital Santaros clinics emergency department suffering from acute chest pain and experienced cardiac arrest. Changes in electrocardiogram, elevated troponin level, clinical symptoms lead ST-elevation myocardial infarction (MI) diagnosis. The patient diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). He remission state SLE not taking drugs for one year before MI happened. may be associated...
Abstract Background: Cardiac shock-wave therapy (CSWT) is a non-invasive treatment based on low-frequency ultrasound waves that stimulate angiogenesis. Current data the effects of revascularization procedures angiogenesis biomarkers are limited. In this study, we aimed to characterize serum protein profiles patients with coronary artery disease after CSWT in relation changes exercise and imaging parameters. Methods: The study population included 10 from prospective, randomized, triple-blind,...
