Comparison of polyclonal antibody sera for early prophylaxis following cardiac transplantation
(Elsevier, 1989-10)
In order to test different polyclonal antibody regimes as early prophylaxis against cardiac rejection, 42 patients (ages 30 to 60 years) transplanted at the University of Michigan from December 1986 to August 1988 were ...
Ventricular tachycardia in children
(Elsevier, 1981-05)
Thirty-eight patients aged 1 to 20 years (mean 11.2) were evaluated because of recurrent ventricular tachycardia. The follow-up period ranged from 0.5 to 12 years (mean 6). The patients were separated into two groups ...
Doppler evaluation of homograft valved conduits in children
(Elsevier, 1989-08-01)
To assess the flow characteristics of homograft valved conduits in the immediate postoperative period, 69 children with 71 homograft conduits underwent 2-dimensional and Doppler echocardiographic examination at 1 to 40 ...
Evidence of abnormal vasodilator reserve in coronary spasm
(Elsevier, 1986-02-15)
Although reduction of coronary flow reserve (CFR) is a common consequence of significant coronary stenoses, recent observations suggest that it may also be abnormal in other clinical settings such as myocardial hypertrophy ...
UNICELL ONTOGENY and PHYLOGENY: EXAMPLES FROM THE DIATOMS
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1987-09)
Natriuresis associated with elevated plasma atrial natriuretic hormone during supraventricular tachycardia
(Elsevier, 1989-02)
Elevated plasma levels of atrial natriuretic hormone (ANH) have been found in patients during paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and other clinical syndromes. However, physiologic effects of this endogenous ANH ...
Controlled release of 1-hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate: in vitro assessment and effects on bioprosthetic calcification in sheep tricuspid valve replacements
(Elsevier, 1989-06-01)
Calcification (CALC) is the most frequent cause of the clinical failure of bioprosthetic valves (BHV's). Controlled-release (paravalvar) administration of the anticalcification agent ethanehydroxydiphosphonate (EHDP), as ...
Effects of CI-914 in congestive heart failure due to coronary artery disease or idiopathic cardiomyopathy
(Elsevier, 1986-09-15)
The hemodynamic effects of CI-914, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, were studied in 12 patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction who were undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization. CI-914 was infused intravenously ...
Prognostic significance of vegetations detected by two-dimensional echocardiography in infective endocarditis
(Elsevier, 1986-12)
Although 2DE is considered the most sensitive method for detecting vegetations in infective endocarditis, the independent clinical significance of these vegetations continues to be debated. To further examine this, we ...
