Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of right ventricular (RV)
function in patients after a myocardial infarction (MI). Background : Right ventricular …

Background. Left ventricular dilatation and dysfunction after myocardial infarction are major
predictors of death. In experimental and clinical studies, long-term therapy with the …

Background We quantified cardiovascular death and/or left ventricular (LV) dilatation in
patients from the SAVE trial to determine whether dilatation continued beyond 1 year, whether …

Objectives. This study attempted to evaluate whether neurohumoral activation at the time of
hospital discharge in postinfarction patients helps to predict long-term prognosis and …

Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine whether a very early imaging strategy
improves the prediction of late systolic dysfunction and poor outcomes in ST-segment elevation …

L'élévation de la pression du sinus coronaire (P cs ) déplace la relation pression–débit
coronaire diastolique (PFR) du myocarde ventriculaire gauche à un intercept de pression plus …

BACKGROUND Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a peptide hormone secreted from cardiac atria
in response to increased atrial pressure. Because of a longer half-life and greater stability, …

Since the introduction of mediastinoscopy, there has been a great deal of discussion regarding
indications for this technique and the significance of positive findings. We undertook this …

The sensitivity of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using thallium-201 injected both at
rest and during peak exercise was compared to simultaneously recorded 12 lead …

Although elevated plasma cholesterol levels represent a well-established and significant
risk for developing atherosclerosis, there is a wide spectrum of cholesterol levels in patients …
