Automatic Mode Switching in Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Automatic mode switching (AMS) algorithms were designed to prevent tracking of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATA) or other rapidly occurring signals sensed by atrial channels, thereby reducing the adverse hemodynamic and symptomatic consequences of a rapid ...

The role of inhibitory G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling in the in vivo control of heart rate and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins and the control of heart rate. The activation of cell signaling pathways involving inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins acts to slow the heart rate via modulation of ion channels.

Coronary Flow Reserve Measured by Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Patients Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite achieving complete revascularization, patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may experience adverse outcomes, potentially attributable to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Coronary flow reserve (CFR), which integrates both epicardial and microvascular coronary function, and a reduced CFR following complete ...

Anesthetic management of a patient with severe aortic regurgitation undergoing reoperation for ascending aorta false aneurysm using hypothermia: prevention of ventricular fibrillation by nifekalant

open access: yesJA Clinical Reports, 2021
Background To prevent cardiac collapse and to protect cerebral function, hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass is established before resternotomy. However, ventricular fibrillation under hypothermia facilitates left ventricular distension, which causes ...

Intelligence-based medicine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Despite seven hundred thousand new medical references last year, the relationship between a given set of medical features and specific pathophysiology, treatment, and criteria of improvement is often weak.

Nonlinear physics of electrical wave propagation in the heart: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The beating of the heart is a synchronized contraction of muscle cells (myocytes) that are triggered by a periodic sequence of electrical waves (action potentials) originating in the sino-atrial node and propagating over the atria and the ventricles ...

Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high despite advanced treatment strategies in CS patients, underlining the need for the identification of predictors of prognosis in CS patients. Therefore, the present study investigates the prognostic impact of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) in patients with CS ...

New model of ventricular fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Electrocardiology, 2005
The purpose of this study was to develop a more efficient and stable model of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the isolated rabbit heart, because there is not a satisfactory model with this animal. We also observed the effects of increasing extracellular calcium in the stability and reversibility of the arrhythmia.

Comparison of Fixed‐Dose Clopidogrel/Asetylsalicylic Acid Combination and Standard Loading Strategy During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Chronic Coronary Syndrome

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), comprising acetylsalicylic acid and a P2Y12 receptor inhibitor such as clopidogrel, is the cornerstone of management in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). While conventional loading doses of acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel are well established, there is limited ...

Temporary epicardial left ventricular and biventricular pacing improves cardiac output after cardiopulmonary bypass

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2012
Background To evaluate, with different pacing modes, acute changes in left ventricular systolic function, obtained by continuous cardiac output thermodilution in various subsets of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
