Clinical importance of elevated CK-MB and troponin I levels in congestive heart failure
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2006)
Myocyte necrosis has been considered to play a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure (CHF), which has usually evolved as a consequence of depletion of compensatory mechanisms and contractile ...
Sleep quality among relatively younger patients with initial diagnosis of hypertension: Dippers versus non-dippers
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2007)
Background. Sleep is a basic physiological process. Normal sleep yields decrease in sympathetic activity, blood pressure ( BP) and heart rate. Those, who do not have expected decrease in their BP are considered "non-dippers''. ...
Acute coronary syndrome: Short-term effects of early intravenous metoprolol on maximum P wave duration and P wave dispersion
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2007)
In patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) results in worse inpatient outcomes than in those without AF Two electrocardiographic markers, maximum P wave duration (P-maximum) ...
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 ...

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 ...
Impact of coronary collateral circulation on QT dispersion in patients with coronary artery disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006)
Objective The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) on QT dispersion (QTD) in coronary artery disease. Background A prolonged QTD has been linked to increased heterogeneity of ...
