Letter by Eller et al regarding article, "Lower mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke at higher altitudes in Switzerland".
BACKGROUND Studies assessing the effect of altitude on cardiovascular disease have provided conflicting results. Most studies were limited because of the heterogeneity of the population, their ecological design, or both. In addition, effects of place of birth were rarely considered. Here, we examine mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke in relation to the altitude of the place of res...

Background—Studies assessing the effect of altitude on cardiovascular disease have provided conflicting results. Most studies were limited because of the heterogeneity of the population, their ecological design, or both. In addition, effects of place of birth were rarely considered. Here, we examine mortality from coronary heart disease and stroke in relation to the altitude of the place of res...
متن کاملResponse to letters regarding article, “statins and the risk of cancer after heart transplantation”.

Statins may have an impact on clinical outcomes beyond their lipid-lowering effects. The aim of the present study was to delineate whether statin ...
متن کاملResponse to Letters Regarding Article, "Early Detection of Anthracycline Cardiotoxicity and Improvement With Heart Failure Therapy".
BACKGROUND Three types of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicities are currently recognized: acute, early-onset chronic, and late-onset chronic. However, data supporting this classification are lacking. We prospectively evaluated incidence, time of occurrence, clinical correlates, and response to heart failure therapy of cardiotoxicity. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed left ventricular ejection ...
متن کاملResponse to letters regarding article, "Cumulative radiation exposure and cancer risk estimation in children with heart disease".
BACKGROUND Children with heart disease are frequently exposed to imaging examinations that use ionizing radiation. Although radiation exposure is potentially carcinogenic, there are limited data on cumulative exposure and the associated cancer risk. We evaluated the cumulative effective dose of radiation from all radiation examinations to estimate the lifetime attributable risk of cancer in chi...
