Background —Coronary endothelial dysfunction is characterized by vasoconstrictive response to the endothelium-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine. Although considered an early phase of coronary atherosclerosis, there a paucity information regarding outcome these patients. Thus, this study was designed evaluate patients with mild artery disease on basis their function. Methods and Results —Follow-up obtained in 157 mildly diseased arteries who had undergone vascular reactivity evaluation...
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a poorly recognized heart disease that was initially regarded as benign condition. Recently, it has been shown TTS may be associated with severe clinical complications including death and its prevalence probably underestimated. Since current guidelines on are lacking, appears timely important to provide an expert consensus statement TTS. The document part I summarizes the state of knowledge presentation characteristics agrees controversies surrounding such...
Atherosclerosis is characterized by endothelial injury and the proliferation of arterial smooth-muscle cells. The latter may be a result release growth factors from vessel wall; such include an endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor peptide with mitogenic properties. We tested hypothesis that plasma endothelin concentrations are elevated in persons symptomatic atherosclerosis, independently age.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an acute event of uncertain origin. Clinical features and prognosis remain insufficiently characterized.A retrospective single-center cohort study identified 87 patients with angiographically confirmed SCAD. Incidence, clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, in-hospital outcomes, long-term risk SCAD recurrence or major adverse cardiac events were evaluated. Mean age was 42.6 years; 82% female. Extreme exertion at onset more frequent in...
The clinical expert consensus statement on takotsubo syndrome (TTS) part II focuses the diagnostic workup, outcome, and management. recommendations are based interpretation of limited trial data currently available experience international TTS experts. It summarizes approach, which may facilitate correct timely diagnosis. Furthermore, document covers areas where controversies still exist in risk stratification management TTS. Based provides optimal care such patients for practising physicians.
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a nonatherosclerotic acute syndrome for which optimal management remains undefined.We performed retrospective study of 189 patients presenting with first SCAD episode. We evaluated outcomes according to initial management: (1) revascularization versus conservative therapy and (2) percutaneous intervention (PCI) stratified by vessel flow at presentation. Demographics were similar in (mean age, 44±9 years; women 92% both groups), but occlusion...
With advances in technology, the physiological assessment of coronary artery disease patients catheterization laboratory has become increasingly important both clinical and research applications, but this evolved without standard nomenclature or techniques data acquisition measurement. Some questions regarding interpretation, application, outcome related to results also remain unanswered. Accordingly, consensus statement was designed provide background evidence about measurements describe...
BACKGROUND Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain (BNP), and C-type (CNP) are a family of structurally related peptides that participate in the integrated control renal cardiovascular function. Previous studies suggest functional role for these hormonal cardiorenal regulation congestive heart failure (CHF). METHODS AND RESULTS The present were performed normal subjects (n = 6) patients with mild (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class I to II, n 20) severe (NYHA III IV, CHF by use...
