Long-term outcome and impact of surgery on adults with coronary arteries originating from the opposite coronary cusp.
(Circulation, 2011-01-18)
BACKGROUND: An anomalous coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva may increase
sudden death risk in children and young adults, and surgical intervention is often
recommended. The impact of this lesion when recognized ...
Contemporary trends and predictors of postacute service use and routine discharge home after stroke.
(J Am Heart Assoc, 2015-02-23)
BACKGROUND: Returning home after the hospital is a primary aim for healthcare; however,
additional postacute care (PAC) services are sometimes necessary for returning stroke
patients to their pre-event status. Recent trends ...
Impact of increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol on cardiovascular outcomes during the armed forces regression study.
(J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther, 2010-12)
INTRODUCTION: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a well-established inverse
risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The extent to which cardiovascular risk can
be modified through changes in HDL, however, is less ...
Comparison of long-term postoperative sequelae in patients with tetralogy of Fallot versus isolated pulmonic stenosis.
(Am J Cardiol, 2014-07-15)
Patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after complete repair and pulmonic stenosis
(PS) after surgical valvotomy often develop significant pulmonic regurgitation (PR)
that eventually requires valve replacement. Although ...
Pulmonary hypertension and elevated transpulmonary gradient in patients with mitral stenosis.
(J Heart Valve Dis, 2010-11)
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Pulmonary hypertension frequently complicates mitral
stenosis, with a subset of these patients exhibiting pressures well in excess of their
mitral valve hemodynamics. The prevalence of this ...
Ventricular conduction and long-term heart failure outcomes and mortality in African Americans: insights from the Jackson Heart Study.
(Circ Heart Fail, 2015-03)
BACKGROUND: QRS prolongation is associated with adverse outcomes in mostly white populations,
but its clinical significance is not well established for other groups. We investigated
the association between QRS duration and ...
PINOT NOIR: pulmonic insufficiency improvement with nitric oxide inhalational response.
(J Cardiovasc Magn Reson, 2013-09-04)
BACKGROUND: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair and pulmonary valvotomy for pulmonary
stenosis (PS) lead to progressive pulmonary insufficiency (PI), right ventricular
enlargement and dysfunction. This study assessed whether ...
Lateral caval flap repair of adult sinus venosus atrial septal defect: A natural novel approach.
(J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 2012-10)
Provoked exercise desaturation in patent foramen ovale and impact of percutaneous closure.
(JACC Cardiovasc Interv, 2012-04)
OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to assess the prevalence of provoked exercise
desaturation (PED) in patients with patent foramen ovale (PFO) referred for cardiovascular
evaluation and to evaluate the impact of PFO closure. ...
Alglucosidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy as a therapeutic approach for glycogen storage disease type III.
(Mol Genet Metab, 2013-02)
We investigated the feasibility of using recombinant human acid-α glucosidase (rhGAA,
Alglucosidase alfa), an FDA approved therapy for Pompe disease, as a treatment approach
for glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III). ...
