We investigated early and late effects of percutaneous revascularization for chronic total coronary occlusion on left ventricular (LV) function and volumes. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 21 patients before and 5 months and 3 years after recanalization. Global LV function and volumes and segmental wall thickening (SWT) were quantified on cine images. The 2 viability indexes used we...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the net caloric impact from replacing sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) with alternatives in children and adolescents in naturalistic settings. DESIGN Secondary analysis based on nationally representative cross-sectional study. SETTING Fixed-effect regression analysis of 2 nonconsecutive 24-hour dietary recalls from the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examinatio...

OBJECTIVES We studied the effect of drug-eluting stent implantation for chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO) on left ventricular volumes and function and assessed the predictive value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed before revascularization. BACKGROUND The effect of recanalization of CTO on long-term left ventricular function and the value of myocardial viability assessment wi...

Background and Aim: total isovolumic time (t-IVt) and tei index both reflect global left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony. they have been shown to be sensitive in responding to myocardial revascularization and in predicting clinical outcome in heart failure patients. since most these patients are senior, determining the exact effect of age on such parameters remains mandatory. the aim of this stud...

The aim of this study was to characterize the clinical safety profile transendocardial injection catheters (TIC) reported in published literature. Transendocardial delivery is a minimally invasive approach deliver potential therapeutic agents directly into myocardium. rate adverse events across TIC uncertain. A systematic search performed for trial publications using TIC. Procedure-associated e...

I4m and the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), specifically the SGML tag set created by the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), are two major systems developed to make it easier to create and verify valid documents. Each attempts to specify and enforce explicit definitions of valid textual structures; each faces questions regarding the structural components of texts, as well as the choice...
