Long QT Syndrome and Pregnancy
This study was designed to investigate the clinical course of women with long QT syndrome (LQTS) throughout their potential childbearing years.Only limited data exist regarding the risks associated with pregnancy in women with LQTS.The risk of experiencing an adverse cardiac event, including syncope, aborted cardiac arrest, and sudden death, during and

The aims of this study were: 1) to evaluate risk factors influencing the clinical course of mutation-confirmed adult patients with long QT syndrome (LQTS), 2) to study life-threatening cardiac events as a specific end point in adults, and 3) to examine the protective effect of beta-blocker therapy on cardiac events in adult LQTS patients with known ...

Abstract The pharmaceutical industry has increasingly adopted model‐informed drug discovery and development (MID3) to enhance productivity in drug discovery and development. Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP), which integrates drug action mechanisms and disease complexities to predict clinical endpoints and biomarkers is central to MID3.

The cardiovascular safety of incretin-based therapies: a review of the evidence [PDF]
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes and therefore managing cardiovascular (CV) risk is a critical component of diabetes care. As incretin-based therapies are effective recent additions to the

ABSTRACT Introduction Direct experimental investigation of Klinefelter syndrome (KS) in patients is limited because the syndrome manifests heterogeneously and affects multiple organ systems. Studying KS therefore requires a model that captures this complexity as accurately as possible while still permitting controlled experimental manipulation ...

Torsades de pointes during laparoscopic adrenalectomy of a pheochromocytoma: a case report
Introduction Torsades de pointes is a rare but potentially lethal arrhythmia. The amount of literature available on Torsades de pointes occurring in patients with pheochromocytoma is limited, and we found no literature describing this dysrhythmia in a ...
