Conducting Randomized Trials in the Electrophysiology Laboratory: Lessons from a Randomized Comparison of Recording Methods During Pulmonary Vein Isolation by Segmental Ostial Ablation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-09)
Accurate identification of pulmonary vein (PV) potentials during segmental ostial ablation for PV isolation is very important to completely isolate the PVs and also to avoid unnecessary applications of radiofrequency energy. ...
Temporal pattern of C1q deposition after transient focal cerebral ischemia
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
Recent studies have focused on elucidating the contribution of individual complement proteins to post-ischemic cellular injury. As the timing of complement activation and deposition after cerebral ischemia is not well ...
Syndrome X: Is it for real?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998)
The term syndrome X has been applied to the association of hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), android obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. In this paper, based on population samples ...
Modulation of Cardiac Performance by Motor Protein Gene Transfer
(Blackwell Publishing Inc, 2008-03)
Impact of a Simple Inexpensive Quality Assurance Effort on Physician's Choice of Thrombolytic Agents and Door-to-Needle Time: Implication for Costs of Management
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1998-01)
The objective of this study were to assess the impact of a quality assurance effort on the door-to-needle time and the choice of thrombolytic agent for the management of acute myocardial infarction in the emergency department. ...
ω- 123 I-Hexadecanoic acid metabolic probe of cardiomypathy
(Springer-Verlag, 1985-03)
The utility of ω- 123 I-hexadecanoic acid myocardial scintigraphy as a metabolic probe of cardiomyopathies was investigated. Sixteen patients with a variety of cardiomyopathies and myopathies that involve cardiac muscle ...
Alternative techniques of seeding cultured endothelial cells to ePTFE grafts of different diameters, porosities, and surfaces
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1987-08)
Attachment of 111 Indium-oxine labeled cultured canine venous endothelial cells to expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE) grafts was evaluated in vitro . Three alternative seeding techniques were studied in grafts having ...
Developmental expression and differential cellular localization of obscurin and obscurin-associated kinase in cardiac muscle cells
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-04-01)
Obscurin and obscurin-associated kinase are two products of the obscurin transcriptional unit that encodes a recently identified giant muscle-specific protein obscurin. In this study, we characterized the developmental ...
Cardiac controlled release for arrhythmia therapy: Lidocaine-polyurethane matrix studies
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
Cardiac arrhythmias are the principal cause of sudden death due to heart disease, and current therapy is inadequate. A novel approach for formulating a lidocaine-polyurethane controlled release matrix and implanting this ...
Papaverine effects on PGI2 and TXA2 release from the canine vascular wall
(Elsevier, 1992-07)
Operative manipulation of blood vessels might lead to spasm, thereby destroying the endothelial cell function: the spasm can be prevented by the vasodilator papaverine. To study if this was mediated via the prostanoid ...
