Neither supervised treadmill exercise nor strength training for patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) without intermittent claudication have been established as beneficial.
Patients with severe coronary artery disease a clinical indication for revascularization but who are at high procedural risk because of patient comorbidities, complexity anatomy, and/or poor hemodynamics represent an understudied and potentially underserved population. Through advances in percutaneous interventional techniques technologies improvements selection, current intervention may allow appropriate patients to benefit safely from procedures that might not have been offered the past....
The radial approach to angiography and intervention has emerged internationally as the preferred alternative traditional femoral 1. Multiple observational randomized trials performed date have shown an association between access reduced risk for bleeding vascular complications 2. Other studies costs 3, increased patient satisfaction 4, 5, mortality in high-risk subgroups like those with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) 6. Disadvantages include radiation exposure operator...
CD36 is a class B scavenger receptor recognizing variety of ligands including long-chain fatty acids and modified LDL. We investigated whether genetic variability at this locus determinant free acid (FFA) plasma levels risk coronary artery disease (CAD) in Caucasians. Typing 21 polymorphic markers, evenly spanning the gene, revealed two linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks that could be tagged by five polymorphisms (-33137A>G, -31118G>A, 25444G>A, 27645del>ins 30294G>C). In 585 non-diabetic...
Background— Little is known about the contemporary use of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and other mechanical circulatory support (O-MCS) devices in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) setting cardiogenic shock. Methods Results— We identified 76 474 who underwent PCI shock at one 1429 National Cardiovascular Data Registry CathPCI participating hospitals from 2009 to 2013. Temporal trends hospital-level variation IABP O-MCS were evaluated. No was used 41 286 (54%)...
Abstract Objectives To gain insight into current practice of transradial angiography and intervention in the United States around world. Background Transradial access (TRA) has grown worldwide. In a prior survey, there was significant variation minimal US participation which limited generalizability to operators. Methods We used an internet‐based survey software program solicit input from practicing interventional cardiologists operators were compared with outside (OUS) respondent‐level...
We determined whether higher levels of physical activity in daily life are associated with better brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) among individuals lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Participants were 111 men and women PAD (ankle-brachial index (ABI) <or= 0.95) who completed baseline testing the Study to Improve Leg Circulation (SILC). evaluated FMD at 60 seconds following 4 minutes suprasystolic blood pressure cuff inflation. Physical was measured continuously...
