- INTERVENTIONIST CARDIOLOGY: -Strategic programming of detection and therapy parameters in implantable cardioverter-defibrillators reduces shocks in primary prevention patients
Objectives: Our purpose was to demonstrate that strategically chosen implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) detection and therapy ...
- CARDIOLOGY & EMERGENTOLOGY: -Combination vasopressin/epinephrine does not improve cardiac-arrest outcomes
The combination of vasopressin and epinephrine in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) does not improve clinical outcomes, including survival to hospital admission or survival to the return of ...
- CARDIOLOGY: -EXERCISE & SPORTS: -Exercise ECG: better detection of cardiac abnormalities among athletes
A new study has shown that exercise electrocardiograms (ECGs) may pick up cardiac abnormalities in athletes that are missed by resting, or baseline, ECGs1. Dr Francesco Sofi (University of Florence, ...
- CARDIOLOGY: -Extracorporeal life support improves survival in cardiac arrest
- Extracorporeal life support combined with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) roughly doubles survival over CPR alone in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin, a ...
- CARDIOLOGY: -FAMILY ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: -Mutation in gene for ANP causes familial AF
US researchers have found that a mutation in the gene that encodes atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) appears to be responsible for hereditary atrial fibrillation (AF)1 . The discovery is unexpected ...
- CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION: -Extracorporeal life support may improve CPR survival
Assisted extracorporeal life-support for patients receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) after in-hospital cardiac arrest could improve their survival, an observational study published early ...
- CARDIOLOGY & EPIDEMIOLOGY: -Men who rate themselves at low CVD risk have reduced CVD death rates
Men who rate themselves at lower-than-average cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk for their age have lower rates of CVD death than men who consider themselves at higher risk, researchers report. Their ...
- CARDIOLOGÍA: -Muerte súbita asociada con repolarización precoz
La repolarización precoz (RP) es reconocida como una entidad benigna que se presenta en 1 a 5% de la población. Sin embargo, estudios experimentales recientes sugieren que presenta cierto potencial ...
- INSUFICIENCIA CARDIACA: - Implicancia clínica de la duración del QRS en pacientes hospitalizados por empeoramiento de insuficiencia cardiaca y disfunción ventricular
Resumen :Patricia Avellana La hospitalización por insuficiencia cardiaca está asociada con mortalidad y morbilidad elevadas al alta. El valor predictivo de la duración del QRS durante la ...
- OBITUARY: -CARDIOLOGY: -Surgical maestro DeBakey dies at age 99
World-renowned cardiovascular surgeon Dr Michael DeBakey has died at age 99. One of the few heart surgeons to gain international recognition outside of medicine, he passed away of natural causes on ...
- INTERVENTIONIST CARDIOLOGY & CORONARY HEART DISEASE: -Better survival with CABG than stenting at six years in SoS, but anticipation builds for SYNTAX
Investigators for the Stent or Surgery (SoS) trial now have six years of follow-up data showing a continuing survival advantage for patients with multivessel disease who underwent CABG instead of PCI ...
- CARDIOLOGÍA: Averiguan por qué los flavonoides protegen al corazón
Durante años, los científicos han sabido que los flavonoides, antioxidantes que se encuentran en los alimentos tan diversos como las frutas, las verduras, las hierbas, los granos y el chocolate, son ...
- INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGY AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: -Early intervention strategy 'more costly on average' than usual care
The extra cost of an early invasive strategy in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) or unstable angina is only partially offset by subsequent interventions among patients ...
- CARDIOLOGY: -Statins may benefit bradyarrhythmia patients
Atorvastatin may prevent extended atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with bradyarrhythmias who have a pacemaker, a small, open-label trial indicates. Increasing evidence indicates AF is an ...
- CARDIOLOGY: -Extracorporeal life support improves survival in cardiac arrest
Extracorporeal life support combined with conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) roughly doubles survival over CPR alone in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest of cardiac origin, a new ...
