Amiodarone for Atrial Fibrillation Following Cardiac Surgery: Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines at a University Hospital
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2008-01)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) usually develops within the first 72 h following cardiac surgery, and is often self-limiting. Within 48 h of acute onset of symptoms, approximately 50% of patients spontaneously convert to normal ...
Do Media Players Cause Interference with Pacemakers?
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2009-11)
Background Electrical devices generate electromagnetic fields that may interfere with pacemakers. Media players cause telemetry interference with pacemakers, but it is not known whether they cause direct interference with ...
The Effect of Poststenotic Vessel Wall Compliance upon the Pulsus Tardus Phenomenon
(Sage Publications, 1994)
Recent studies have investigated the detection of significant arterial stenoses through identification of the "pulsus tardus" phenomenon in Doppler waveforms obtained distal to the stenosis. The etiology of this phenomenon, ...
Case Report: The Effect of Proton Pump Inhibitor Administration on Hemodynamics in a Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2010-06)
Ex vivostudies have suggested that high dose proton pump inhibitors (PPI) may have negative inotropic effects in myocardial tissue. We sought to investigate this concept in a real-world clinical setting. In this case series, ...

(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2008-03)
Hyporesponsiveness, or resistance, to antiplatelet therapy may be a major contributor to poorer outcomes among cardiac patients and may be attributed to an array of mechanisms—both modifiable and unmodifiable. Recent ...

Clinical Considerations with the Use of Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2008-03)
Despite the proven benefits of using antiplatelet therapy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a number of key questions remain to be answered. In recent years, clopidogrel dosing strategies ...
Assessing the Current Role of Platelet Function Testing
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2008-03)
In vitro platelet function tests are commonly applied in research and offer justification for using antiplatelet therapy. However, studies assessing the ability of standardized platelet function tests to predict patients' ...
