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 ...
Heart rate turbulence: An additional parameter in determining the need for mechanical relief of mitral stenosis?
(I C R PUBLISHERS, 2007)
Background and aim of the study: Heart rate turbulence (HRT) is a relatively newer parameter which has predictive value for mortality and severity in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. The study aim was to investigate ...
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 ...
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 ...
