The prevalence and cineangiographic correlates of exercise-induced inversion of U waves
were studied in 248 patients. Exercise-induced U-wave inversion was observed in 36 …

purpose: Major cardiac and pulmonary complications associated with abdominal and
noncardiac thoracic surgery are a common cause of mortality and serious morbidity in elderly …

Diastolic heart failure, in the absence of LV systolic dysfunction, is a common clinical condition
that can be demonstrated in as many as one third of patients with congestive heart failure. …

Aims The purpose of this study was to determine the most appropriate prognostic endpoint
for myocardial 123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) scintigraphy in patients with chronic …

Resting 12-lead electrocardiographic records from 849 patients who underwent coronary
cineangiographic studies were reviewed for U wave negativity without knowledge of the …

Predictors of perioperative complications, including cardiac death, ventricular tachycardia or
fibrillation, and heart failure or myocardial infarction, were assessed in an initial study of 100 …

Background Carvedilol treatment reduces the mortality rate in patients with congestive heart

The autonomic nervous system plays a key role in regulating changes in the cardiovascular
system and its adaptation to various human body functions. The sympathetic arm of the …

Background— Patients with diabetes mellitus have accelerated progression of heart failure
and often have impaired cardiac sympathetic innervation. The present study examines the …

Background The normal distribution of myocardial tracer activity is different in attenuation-corrected
images compared with uncorrected images. We therefore postulated that …
