conclusions this study revealed allele frequency of some strs on chromosome 12 and 16 for the first time in iran, and indicated differences between subjects with metabolic syndrome and subjects in the control group. results there was no significant deviation in allelic frequencies from hardy-weinberg equilibrium for all the studied markers except for d12s1632 and d12s329. the long alleles in d1...

OBJECTIVE To verify the influence of moderate- or high-pressure balloon inflation during primary coronary stent implantation for acute myocardial infarction. METHODS After successful coronary stent implantation, 82 patients were divided into 2 groups according to the last balloon inflation pressure: group 1 (> or = 12 to < 16 atm) and group 2 (> or = 16 to 20 atm), each with 41 cases. All pat...

OBJECTIVE It has been suggested that in some settings, heart failure (HF) may occur with normal ejection fraction (EF) as a consequence of undetected systolic dysfunction. However, others have argued that this can only occur in the presence of diastolic dysfunction. We therefore sought to determine the contribution of diastolic dysfunction in an animal model of HF with normal EF. METHODS AND ...
