BACKGROUND Electromagnetic energy radiated from mobile phones did not show significant effect on the blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters in animals and humans. AIM This study aimed to investigate the effect of radiofrequency of mobile phone on the electrocardiographic parameters in patients with history of ischemic heart disease, taking into consideration the...

Background: Calcium overload and free radical mediated damage in the mitochondria is the most important pathological changes associated with myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury. The verapamil post-treatment has been previously reported to prevent reperfusion-induced myocardial injury but functional recovery may be delayed due to the drug's inherent direct myocardial depression effect. In the...

introduction: the correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (rvef and lvef, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in rvef and lvef. the aim of the present study was to compare lvef and rvef in patients with ischemic heart disease. rvef and lvef were measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (cmr) imaging. materials a...

BackgroundRecently, mast cells have been found to participate in the inflammatory process of atherosclerosis. Mast cells can be activated by IgE-mediated mechanisms to release potent mediators which also affect coronary blood flow. The aim of this study was to determine serum IgE levels in patients with acute ischemic syndromes. MethodsSerum samples were collected from 3 groups consisting of 30...
