Remission was a rare event, even in the most advanced rheumatology clinics, until recent times. However, in …

A scientific repository to support the research and development of technologies related to quantitative electrocardiography: The Telemetric and Holter ECG Warehouse (THEW).

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

Authors: Couderc JP
We implemented an ECG data-warehousing project to promote cross-fertilization of scientific knowledge, resources and ideas that will advance the understanding of quantitative ECG and cardiac safety. While other open ECG database…

The effect of early and intensive statin therapy on ventricular premature beat or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

Conclusions: Early and intensive lipid-lowering treatment can clearly decrease ventricular premature beats and NSVT. (Cardiol J 2010; 17, 4: 381-385).

Congenital musculoskeletal abnormalities associated with aortic, pulmonary and iliac aneurysms.

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

We present the case of a young patient with severe congenital musculoskeletal abnormalities. associated with different pathologies, with involvement of the arterial tree on both the systemic and pulmonary circulation, and involvement of the lungs due t…

Clinical utility of serum cystatin C in predicting coronary artery disease.

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

Conclusions: Cystatin C could be a useful laboratory tool in predicting the presence and severity of CAD in daily practice. It also correlates significantly with biochemical risk factors for CAD, namely homocysteine, low HDL and CRP. (Cardiol J 2010; 1…

Lithium intoxication causing ST segment elevation and wandering atrial rhythms in an elderly patient.

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

Authors: Kayrak M, Ari H, Duman C, Gul EE, Ak A, Atalay H
Lithium overdoses causing cardiotoxicity are uncommon and electrocardiographic changes suggesting myocardial ischemia are rare. However, some authors have specifically reported the occurrenc…

[The modified Selvester QRS score: Can we predict successful ST segment resolution in patients with myocardial infarction receiving fibrinolytic therapy?]

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

Conclusions: The Selvester QRS score can reliably predict adequate ST segment resolution in patients with first acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction receiving fibrinolytic therapy, with a high sensitivity and an acceptable specificity. <…

Massive mitral regurgitation secondary to acute ischemic papillary muscle rupture: The role of echocardiography.

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

We report the case of an AMI complicated by the development of an abrupt cardiogenic shock due to the rupture of the head of the postero-medial papillary muscle with echocardiographic demonstration of severe mitral regurgitation due to flail posterior …

Oxygen uptake efficiency slope correlates with brain natriuretic peptide in patients with heart failure.

Filed under: Uncategorized - 09 Aug 2010

Conclusions: Oxygen uptake efficiency slope is significantly reduced in patients with CHF and correlates with peak VO(2) and other parameters of cardiopulmonary exercise treadmill test. It is not related to age. BNP is an independent marker of OUES in …
