We studied six patients who suffered from angina pectoris but had angiographically patent major coronary arteries. Two of the also congestive heart failure. Three supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. conduction disturbances. During angiography significantly reduced flow velocity angiographic contrast medium compared with that in a control group. Echocardiographic and Doppler studies showed tendency for symmetrical thickening left ventricular wall, enlargement right ventricle, compliance both...
We evaluated the effectiveness of early intravenous administration 750,000 units streptokinase in 53 patients with acute myocardial ischemia treated by a mobile-care unit at home (9 patients) or hospital (44 patients). Treatment was begun an average (+/- S.D.) 1.7 +/- 0.8 hours from onset pain. Non-Q-wave infarctions developed subsequently eight patients, whereas all others had typical Q-wave infarct patterns. In 81 per cent infarct-related artery patent angiography performed four to nine...
Acute stress is increasingly recognized as a precipitant of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the role chronic in developing AMI less clear. We have developed method to measure cortisol hair, which allows longitudinal assessment levels prior an event. aimed evaluate hypothesis that stress, assessed by hair content, associated with development AMI. A prospective case-control study included 56 patients admitted hospital and control patients, internal medicine wards for other...
Background Perioperative myocardial ischemia is conventionally monitored using five electrocardiographic leads, with only one precordial lead placed at V5. This based on studies from more than a decade ago. The authors reassessed this convention by analyzing data obtained continuous on-line 12-lead monitoring. Methods One hundred eighty-five consecutive patients undergoing vascular surgery were ST-trend analysis during and for 48-72 h after surgery. Cardiac troponin I was measured in the...
Ischemia on thallium scanning is a strong predictor of long-term mortality in CAD patients. Whether coronary revascularization (CR) patients with significant ischemia preoperative (PTS) improves survival after major vascular surgery has not been determined.The perioperative data, including PTS and subsequent CR moderate to severe reversible PTS, 502 consecutive who underwent 578 procedures were analyzed retrospectively. Patients ultimately did undergo the planned operation also studied. Cox...
Mean platelets volume (MPV) has been shown to correlate with impaired reperfusion and increased mortality in patients ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated primary precutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed study whether the same association exists STEMI thrombolysis. Included were receiving Thrombolysis failure was defined as a need for rescue (PCI), in-hospital mortality, unplanned PCI during hospitalization or complete occlusion of culprit artery follow-up...
The current prospective study explored how male cardiac patients' perceptions of received support (i.e., active engagement, protective buffering, and overprotection) moderated the associations between female partners' provided recovery outcomes: psychological well-being, cholesterol levels, smoking cessation.Couples (N = 86) completed surveys at initial hospitalization after Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), 1 6 months later. Partners' ways providing concurrent these were measured using Ways...
Reevaluation of clinical and angiographic predictors for percutaneous recanalization coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) using current techniques with conventional PTCA wires balloons.We studied 253 consecutive patients 283 lesions who underwent attempted CTO (mean time since 33 months, range 3-150 month). Immediate procedural success rate was 84.8% (95% CI = 80.3%-88.6%). Multiple characteristics were evaluated as possible success/failure. logistic regression analysis revealed that a...
BACKGROUND Previous in vitro experiments performed our laboratory have shown that low-level laser energy may produce prompt reduction isometric tension of vascular smooth muscle. The present study was designed to extend these previous findings an vivo model and thereby investigate the hypothesis light delivered percutaneously could successfully reverse arterial spasm. METHODS AND RESULTS Spasm defined as greater than 50% reversible luminal diameter persisting for or equal 5 minutes provoked...
BACKGROUND The coronary microvasculature may be abnormal even in the presence of angiographically normal epicardial arteries. Abnormalities small vessels have been invoked as a cause angina. METHODS AND RESULTS To quantitatively evaluate morphology capillaries patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) or syndrome angina and vessel disease (SVD), we performed electron microscopic morphometry right ventricular biopsy samples taken from 32 patients. Ten had angina, arteries,...
