Neurohumoral Markers of Cardiac Autonomic Denervation after Surgical Ablation of Long-Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Life, 2023
Although the autonomic nervous system has an evident impact on cardiac electrophysiology and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the conventional technique for treating persistent atrial fibrillation, the specific effects of RFA have been insufficiently ...

Cardiac 123I-MIBG Scintigraphy in Neurodegenerative Parkinson Syndromes: Performance and Pitfalls in Clinical Practice [PDF]

, 2019
Purpose: Cardiac [I-123]metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy (123I-MIBG), reflecting postganglionic cardiac autonomic denervation, is proposed for early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD; reduced tracer uptake) and separation from Multiple System ...

Association between adiposity and systemic atherosclerosis: a protocol of a cross-sectional autopsy study. [PDF]

, 2016
IntroductionAdiposity has been associated with atherosclerosis in clinical studies. However, few autopsy studies have investigated this association, and they had only examined the coronary artery disease. Moreover, most studies had small sample sizes and

Impact of adjunctive tolvaptan on sympathetic activity in acute heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Aims Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is generally treated by decongestion using diuretic therapy. However, the use of loop diuretics is associated with increased cardiac sympathetic nerve activity (CSNA).

Comparison consequences of Jackson-Pratt drain versus chest tube after coronary artery bypass grafting: A randomized controlled clinical trial

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: Chest tubes are used in every case of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) to evacuate shed blood from around the heart and lungs. This study was designed to assess the effective of Jackson-Pratt drain in compare with conventional chest ...

Predictive impacts of chronic kidney disease and cardiac sympathetic nervous activity on lethal arrhythmic events in chronic heart failure

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2022
Background The clinical implications of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiac sympathetic nervous activity (CSNA) regarding lethal arrhythmic events have not yet been fully elucidated in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
