Background —Previous studies of pacing therapy for dilated congestive heart failure (CHF) have not established the relative importance site, AV delay, and patient heterogeneity on outcome. These variables were compared by a novel technique that evaluated immediate changes in hemodynamic function during brief periods atrial-synchronous ventricular pacing. Methods Results —Twenty-seven CHF patients with severe left (LV) systolic dysfunction LV conduction disorder implanted endocardial leads...
Background — Patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and impaired left ventricular ejection fraction have an increased risk of dying suddenly. Methods Results recent onset DCM (≤9 months) ≤30% were randomly assigned to the implantation implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or control. The primary end point trial was all-cause mortality at 1 year follow-up. terminated after inclusion 104 patients because rate did not reach expected 30% in control group. In August 2000,...
The aim of this tutorial is to introduce the fundamental concepts physiologically based pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PBPK/PD) modeling with a special focus on their practical implementation in typical PBPK model building workflow. To illustrate basic steps building, for ciprofloxacin will be constructed and coupled pharmacodynamic simulate antibacterial activity treatment.
The aim of this prospective study was to determine platform and angle accuracy for dental implants using dynamic navigation, a form computer-assisted surgery. Three hypotheses were considered: (1) the overall implant placement relative virtual plan is similar that static tooth-borne computerized tomography (CT)-generated guides; (2) system more accurate than freehand methods; (3) there learning curve associated with method.This involved three surgeons placing in mandible maxilla patients...
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a major cause of tachycardia (VT) and cardiac arrest in young patients. We hypothesized that treatment with implantable cardioverter/defibrillators (ICDs) safe improves the long-term prognosis ARVC patients at high risk sudden death.Sixty (aged 43+/-16 years) were treated transvenous ICD systems. Despite higher number sites tested for adequate lead positions (P<0.05), lower R-wave amplitudes (P<0.001) achieved compared other entities....
BACKGROUND The proximal flow convergence method, a quantitative color Doppler technique, has been validated recently for calculating regurgitant and orifice area. We investigated the potential of method as tool to study different pathophysiological mechanisms mitral valve incompetence by assessing time course area analyzed implications quantification regurgitation. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-six consecutive patients with regurgitation etiologies were studied. instantaneous rate Q(t) was...
A newly developed classification system relates adverse events to the surgical procedure or function of implantable defibrillator.Adverse were monitored during prospective clinical evaluation Medtronic model 7219 Jewel ICD and classified according definitions ISO 14155 standard for device trials into 3 groups: severe mild device-related non-device-related events. In addition, related procedure, treatment with device, cardiac function. Seven hundred seventy-eight patients followed up an...
