Mitochondria are involved in crucial homeostatic processes the cell: production of adenosine triphosphate and reactive oxygen species, release pro-apoptotic molecules. Thus, cell survival depends on maintenance proper mitochondrial function by quality control. The most important control mechanisms unfolded protein response, mitophagy, biogenesis, fusion-fission dynamics. This review deals with heart diseases, especially myocardial infarction failure. Some previous studies have demonstrated...
Background: Despite primary PCI (PPCI), ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can still result in large infarct size (IS).New technology with rapid intravascular cooling showed positive signals for reduction IS anterior STEMI. Aims:We investigated the effectiveness and safety of systemic hypothermia as an adjunct to PPCI conscious patients, STEMI, without cardiac arrest.Methods: Hypothermia was induced using ZOLL ® Proteus™ system.After randomisation 111 58 53 control groups, study...
Embolized valves during transcatheter aortic valve replacement can cause myocardial ischemia by obstructing diastolic retrograde blood flow. To prove the described mechanism of ischemia, we performed aortography with catheter above embolized and placed a stiff wire through valve, causing leaflet opening while monitoring electrocardiogram. As treatment method, an stent was implanted from into arch, enabling backflow resolving ischemia. Overlooking is biggest pitfall because it be diagnosed...
Abstract Introduction Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute chest pain but without ischemic ST changes on ECG or elevated troponin levels pose a diagnostic challenge. Current guidelines recommend non-invasive evaluations, such as coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), exclude artery disease (CAD) guide further management. However, CCTA remains underutilized, many patients either discharged for outpatient follow-up admitted invasive (ICA), even when...
The carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is an established surrogate marker of vascular risk. We assessed the common femoral IMT and its correlation with coronary disease (CAD). also influence risk factors on IMT. Patients (n = 180; mean age 60.4 ± 10.5 years) who had undergone angiography due to symptoms CAD were enrolled in this study. found significantly higher values patients than those without (P .0000). A strong positive between severity expressed by Gensini Score .0000) was...
Objectives This study sought to investigate the impact of successful manual thrombus aspiration on angiographic in-stent restenosis and clinical outcome in patients treated by bare metal stent implantation for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Background There are very limited data occurrence after implantation. Methods was a prospective, randomized, single-center study. Patients (N=60) presenting within 12 h infarction symptom onset were randomized primary percutaneous...
Objectives: To document the real-world experience with use of pneumatic pulsatile mechanical circulatory support (MCS) PulseCath iVAC2L during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (HR-PCIs). Background: The MCS in HR-PCIs may reduce rate major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) at 90 days. is a short-term transaortic left ventricular (LV) assist device that has been since 2014. Registry tracks its safety and efficacy variety hospitals worldwide. Methods: multicenter,...
Aim To investigate the effects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on early recovery global and segmental myocardial function in patients with severe symptomatic stenosis preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to determine if parameters deformation correlate outcomes. Methods The echocardiographic (strain analysis) outcome (hospitalizations because heart failure mortality) data 62 consecutive LVEF (64.54 ± 7.97%) who underwent CoreValve prosthesis were examined....
