Left ventricular outflow tract myxoma accompanied by dextrocardia with situs inversus: a case report
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Myxoma is the most frequently encountered primary tumour of the heart, comprising more than 50% of all benign cardiac tumours. The case presented here was diagnosed as having dextrocardia with situs inversus and concomitant ...
Comparative effects of levosimendan and dobutamine on right ventricular function in patients with biventricular heart failure
(SPRINGER, 2009)
Severe heart failure represents a major source of morbidity and mortality. Poor right ventricular function is an independent prognostic marker for mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. In this study, levosimendan ...
Levosimendan improves renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: Comparison with dobutamine
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Background Levosimendan is a relatively new cardiac inotropic agent with calcium sensitizing activity. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of levosimendan (L) and dobutamine (D) on renal function in patients ...
Evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function in nonhypertensive nondiabetic hemodialysis patients
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2013)
Aim Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is common in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Because diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT) are also common in this patient group, the exact reason for DD in HD patients is not clear. The ...
gamma-Glutamyltransferase is a promising biomarker for cardiovascular risk
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2006)
Oxidative stress plays a crucial rote in a variety of clinical settings of atherogenesis, and mediates many pathways linked to atherosclerosis and inflammation. gamma-Glutamyttransferase (GGT), an enzyme responsible for ...
Reversible Cardiomyopathy Associated with Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type II
(JAPAN SOC INTERNAL MEDICINE, 2013)
Recovery of the ventricular function in a patient with cardiomyopathy is very rare. Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome is also very rare. We herein report a case of reversed cardiomyopathy associated with autoimmune ...
Genetic basis of sudden cardiac death due to emotional trauma in apparently healthy individuals
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2010)

A pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta associated with aorta-coronary artery saphenous graft
(TERMEDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, 2011)
Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms are very rare entities generally occurring after heart surgery associated with cannulation for cardiopulmonary pump or aorta-coronary artery graft implantation. The pseudoaneurysm should ...
Comparison of myocardial performance index versus ratio of isovolumic contraction time/ejection time in left ventricular systolic dysfunction
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Myocardial performance index (MPI) has been regarded as an important parameter in the evaluation of ventricular systolic function in congestive heart failure. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between ...
Coronary collateral circulation: Any effect on P-wave dispersion?
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2008)
Coronary collateral circulation determines the severity of ischemic myocardial damage. Increased P-wave dispersion is an independent predictor for atrial fibrillation. Consistent evidence is little about the relation between ...
