The severity of ST segment elevation in acute inferior myocardial infarction: Does it predict the presence of a proximal culprit lesion along the right coronary artery course?
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2007)
Objective: Acute inferior myocardial infarction (AIMI) is generally characterized by ST segment elevation in the limb leads (D2, D3, aVF). Many trials have reported the close relation between the severity of this ST segment ...
Effect of Levosimendan in Patients with Severe Systolic Heart Failure and Worsening Renal Function
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)
Background: Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing myocardial contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. It was recently shown that levosimendan ...
Role of CA-125 in Identification of Right Ventricular Failure in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011)
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating disease. Cor pulmonale, characterized by right ventricular (RV) failure, can severely influence prognosis in these patients. Hence, ...

Dronedarone: A Promising Alternative for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation
(SPRINGER, 2009)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently encountered chronic arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity. It is generally encountered in the elderly, and will presumably become more prevalent in the future due ...
Association of gamma-Glutamyltransferase with Cardiovascular Risk: A Prognostic Outlook
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2009)
gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT), an enzyme responsible for the extracellular catabolism of antioxidant glutathione, may explicitly participate in. atherogenesis. Several population-based studies have documented strong ...

Central Diastolic Blood Pressure Is Associated With the Degree of Coronary Collateral Development
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2013)
Coronary collaterals (CCs) serve as alternative conduits for blood flow in obstructive coronary artery disease. We investigated the association of various components of blood pressure (BP) parameters with the the degree ...
Tortuosity of coronary arteries: an indicator for impaired left ventricular relaxation?
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Objective To investigate the relationship between coronary tortuosity and impaired left ventricular relaxation. Methods One hundred and four subjects who underwent coronary angiography were included in the study. Left ...
