Oral cyclophosphamide for lupus glomerulonephritis: an underused therapeutic option.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In our center, systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis is routinely treated with an oral cyclophosphamide (POCY) regimen. POCY is easy to administer and less expensive than intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVCY) as it is currently used in the United States; however, the use of POCY has declined in favor of IVCY. Our experience with POCY suggests that it is well tolerated a...
متن کاملUpgrading pacemaker to cardiac resynchronization therapy: an option for patients with chronic right ventricular pacing and heart failure.
INTRODUCTION Long-term pacing from the right ventricle (RV) has been shown to induce a deleterious effect on left ventricular function. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for heart failure (HF) patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the benefit from upgrading to CRT in chronically RV-paced patients with a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF<3...
متن کاملSingle-lead ventricular pacing is no longer an option for sick sinus syndrome.
n this issue of the Journal, Link et al. (1) report a study on he occurrence of pacemaker syndrome in the Mode Selecion (MOST) trial. The MOST trial is the largest randomzed trial of pacing mode selection in patients with sick sinus yndrome (SSS), including a total of 2,010 patients who all eceived rate-adaptive atrioventricular synchronous dualhamber pacing (DDDR) pacemakers and were randomly ...
متن کاملAlternative techniques for left ventricular pacing in cardiac resynchronization therapy.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an important treatment modality for a well-defined subgroup of heart failure patients. Coronary sinus (CS) lead placement is the first-line clinical approach but the insertion is unsuccessful in about 5-10% of the patients. In recent years, the number of CRT recipients and the considerable need for left ventricular (LV) lead revisions increased enormou...
متن کاملSingle site left ventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization.
Chronic, dilated heart failure is often accompanied by delayed ventricular electrical activation manifested as prolonged QRS duration, most commonly in the form of left bundle branch block (LBBB). Exploration of the link between the sequence of cardiac electrical activation and mechanical function is one of the most exciting contemporary areas of research in heart failure, but recognition of th...
