Abstract This report presents the first year's experience of a totally computerized cardiac catheterization laboratory reporting system, including results and complications invasive interventional procedures. Sixty‐three laboratories reported total 71,916 patients studied between January 1 through December 31,1990. Two previous registry reports have been published. Compared with data acquired by methods, in spite an older sicker population, mortality for diagnostic procedures has remained...
Methods from 7 manufacturers and 1 distributor for directly measuring HDL cholesterol (C) LDL-C were evaluated imprecision, trueness, total error, specificity in nonfrozen serum samples.We performed each direct method according to the manufacturer's instructions, using a Roche/Hitachi 917 analyzer, compared results with those obtained reference measurement procedures HDL-C LDL-C. Imprecision was estimated 35 runs frozen pooled specimens triplicate measurements on individual sample. Sera 37...
Background— Experimental interleukin-1 receptor antagonist gene overexpression has shown that is cardioprotective during global cardiac ischemia. The aim of the present study was to test impact an exogenous recombinant human (anakinra) in experimental acute myocardial infarction. Methods and Results— Two animal studies were conducted: one immediate anakinra administration ischemia mouse delayed 24 hours after rat. Seventy-eight Institute Cancer Research mice 20 Wistar rats underwent surgical...
This prospective series of results and complications coronary arteriography from the Registry Society for Cardiac Angiography Interventions is largest ever reported. Since initial report published in 1982, artery surgery angioplasty have improved therefore older more symptomatic patients are referred arteriography. More now studied by femoral approach, major techniques similar. Despite studying higher-risk patients, remarkably similar to those reported series. Because sicker being studied,...
A multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine if corticosteroids influence the development of restenosis after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Either placebo or 1.0 g methylprednisolone (steroid) infused intravenously 2-24 hours before planned PTCA in 915 patients. The patient success rate 87% (mean) eight centers. There were no differences clinical angiographic baseline variables between two groups. End-point analysis...
Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS), defined as a PaO2 less than or equal to 55 mmHg and/or PaCo2 greater 47 mmHg, was found in approximately 8% of morbidly obese patients undergoing gastric surgery for morbid obesity and frequently associated with clinically significant pulmonary hypertension cardiac dysfunction. Forty-six patients, 26 20 without OHS, underwent preoperative artery catheterization. Although the two groups had similar values percent ideal body weight, blood pressure,...
Background Antithromboxane therapy with aspirin reduces acute procedural complications of coronary angioplasty (PTCA) but has not been shown to prevent restenosis. The effect chronic on long-term clinical events after PTCA is unknown, and the utility more specific antithromboxane agents uncertain. goal this study was assess effects (a nonselective inhibitor thromboxane A 2 synthesis) sulotroban selective blocker receptor) late restenosis PTCA. Methods Results Patients (n=752) were randomly...
Experience with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) of multiple vessels was reviewed to assess short-term outcome and long-term results. PTCA performed in 100 the initial 500 patients (20%) who underwent at Medical College Virginia between July 1979 August 1984. Eighty-nine percent had class 3 or 4 angina, 66% unstable angina. Two-thirds severe stenosis two major branches one-third three-vessel disease. One more significant lesions were dilated 84 patients, three 14 four...
Abstract In a 42‐month period, 218 deaths occurred in 222, 553 patients undergoing coronary arteriography (0.098%). Age > 60 years, NYHA Class IV function, presence of left main disease, and ejection fraction < 30% all significantly increased the risk procedure. Sex approach (brachial or femoral) used for catheterization did not affect mortality. Since SCAI report 1982, death rate has dropped high‐risk patients. Low‐risk (NYHA I normal arteries) who died generally were elderly had...
Our objective was to evaluate the accuracy of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk score classification by direct LDL cholesterol (dLDL-C), calculated (cLDL-C), and non-HDL (non-HDL-C) compared reference measurement procedures (RMPs) performed at CDC.We examined 175 individuals, including 138 with CVD or conditions that may affect LDL-C measurement. dLDL-C measurements were using Denka, Kyowa, Sekisui, Serotec, Sysmex, UMA, Wako reagents. cLDL-C Friedewald equation, each manufacturer's HDL-C...
