Background: Inflammation plays a crucial role in clinical manifestations and complications of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Colchicine, commonly used treatment for gout, has recently emerged as novel therapeutic option cardiovascular medicine owing to its anti-inflammatory properties. We sought determine the potential usefulness colchicine patients with ACS. Methods: This was multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 17 hospitals Australia that provide...
<h3>Objectives</h3> Treatment options for coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) are limited, with low historical success rates from percutaneous intervention (PCI). We report procedural outcomes of CTO PCI 7 centres dedicated operators trained in hybrid approaches comprising antegrade/retrograde wire escalation (AWE/RWE) and dissection re-entry (ADR/RDR) techniques. <h3>Methods</h3> Clinical data were collected consecutive unselected patients between 2012 2014. Lesion complexity was graded...
This study reviewed a series of patients treated with transcatheter closure septal defect to treat platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome, specific attention characteristics and device choice. Platypnea–orthodeoxia syndrome is an uncommon condition characterized by positional dyspnea hypoxemia due intracardiac right-to-left shunting through patent foramen ovale (PFO), atrial defect, or pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Percutaneous such defects the treatment In this single-center series, 52...
Objectives This study sought to create a contemporary scoring tool predict technical outcomes of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from patients treated by hybrid operators with differing experience levels. Background Current systems need regular updating cope the positive evolutions regarding materials, techniques, and outcomes, while at same time being applicable for broad range operators. Methods Clinical angiographic characteristics 880 CTO‐PCIs...
Background and AimsFor patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA), factors associated progression to end-stage congestive heart failure (CHF) remain largely unclear.
Twelve competitive wrestlers restricted their caloric intake (92 kJ/kg FFW/day) for 7 days, using a high (HC) or normal (NC) carbohydrate diet to determine the acute effect of deficiency on aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance as well growth hormone (hGH) insulin-like factor 1 (IGF-1) levels. The subjects were tested while eucaloric at end dietary restriction. Neither restriction nor composition had an ability complete 8-minute run 85% maximal capacity, but both produced increased fat...
Pulmonary clearance was examined by measurement of the rate removal a 99mTc-albumin aerosol (aerodynamic mass median diameter 3 μ) in 13 children with cystic fibrosis. Lung retention radioactive label monitored scintillation camera interfaced to data-storage and retrieval system. The results were compared those nine normal adults. Overall lung at all times greater subjects than patients (83.9 per cent six hours after initial deposition vs. 59.6 cent). curves had two exponentials half-times...
Development of the CrossBoss and Stingray devices for antegrade dissection reentry (ADR) chronic total occlusions has improved historically suboptimal outcomes. However, outcomes, safety, failure modes technique have to be studied in a larger patient cohort. This preplanned substudy RECHARGE registry (Registry Hybrid Procedures France, Netherlands, Belgium United Kingdom) aims evaluate value use ADR determine its future position contemporary occlusion intervention.Patients were selected if...
Abstract Aims: The outcome of in‐hospital resuscitation following cardiac arrest depends on many factors related to the patient, environment and extent efforts. aim present study was determine predictors successful survival hospital discharge assess functional outcomes survivors (cerebral performance scores). Methods: Medical records adult patients sustaining between June 2001 January 2003 were reviewed. Successful defined as return spontaneous circulation at completion resuscitative...
Chronic total occlusions (CTO) secondary to in-stent restenosis (ISR) represent challenging lesions with low PCI success rates. The CrossBoss is an over-the-wire blunt catheter which has emerged as a useful tool in occlusive ISR. We aimed review the utility of this device treatment ISR within United Kingdom.The was used primary strategy 30 patients (31 CTOs) median CTO duration 24 months, mean length 39 mm and previous unsuccessful attempt 48% cases. Procedural 90% (27/30) directly...
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form cyanotic congenital heart disease. Palliative procedures, either surgical or transcatheter, aim to improve oxygen saturation, affording definitive procedures at a later stage. Transcatheter interventions have been used before and after palliative repair in children adults. This review aims provide an overview different catheter-based for TOF across all age groups, with emphasis on interventions, such as patent arterial duct stenting, right...
