Acute coronary artery occlusion complicates 2-12% of the balloon angioplasty procedures, and despite repeat angioplasty, emergency surgical revascularization is often necessary. We report our initial experience with the emergency implantation of endoluminal stents for acute vessel closure after coronary balloon angioplasty. Nine patients received one stent, and two patients received two stents ...

Background: Renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) is a promising strategy in the treatment of resistant hypertension. No studies have assessed the effect of RSD on quality of life in our country, which was the aim of this study. Methods: The EuroQol 5 Dimensions questionnaire (EQ 5D 5L) was chosen to evaluate quality of life in 10 patients undergoing RSD, and it was applied before and 3 months af...

Wearable and handheld consumer electrocardiogram devices may allow for noninvasive, frequent, symptom driven monitoring after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. We sought to evaluate the performance of KardiaMobile device AliveCor algorithm in arrythmia recurrence AF Patients a prospective randomized controlled trial adjunctive therapy ablation (NCT04625946) were provided with asked obtain symp...

On March 23, 2020, the Moroccan Ministry of Health issued a circular authorizing off label use hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine in combination with azythromycin as first-line treatment for all COVID-19 patients. The aim this study is to detect, assess and manage safety signals from individual cardiovascular adverse events (AE) reported. Methods : During COVID19 pandemic, pharmacovigilance surv...

INTRODUCTION Thoracic surgery is associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac arrhythmias are the most common and severe complications in early postoperative period. OBJECTIVES Evaluation of the prevalence and causes of cardiac arrythmias, factors that predispose to their occurrence and their influence on general state of health in short-term postoperative period. PATIENT...

2-n-Butyl-3-(4'-diethylaminoethoxy-3',5'-diiodobenzoyl)-benzofurane (amiodarone), a drug used in arrythmias and angina pectoris, contains 75 mg of organic iodine/200 mg active substance. Four studies were performed to test its effect on thyroid hormone metabolism: (a) nine male subjects were treated with 400 mg of amiodarone for 28 days; (b) five male subjects received, for the same period of t...

Primary cardiac tumors are rare causes of ventricular arrythmias. This presentation primary lymphoma highlights the importance multimodality imaging for patients who suffer sudden arrest. N/A A previously healthy 34 year-old woman suffered an out-of-hospital She received bystander CPR and multiple shocks in field VT VF. ECG obtained on arrival showed salvos monomorphic with a LBBB morphology as...

The high incidence of cardiac arrythmias underlines the need for assessment pharmacological therapies. In this field drug efficacy, as in safety highlighted by Comprehensive Vitro Proarrhythmia Assay initiative, new pillars research have become crucial: firstly, integration in-silico experiments, and secondly evaluation fully integrated biological systems, such human induced pluripotent stem ce...
