Many experimental and clinical studies have confirmed a continuous cross-talk between both sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of autonomic nervous system and inflammatory response, in different clinical scenarios. In cardiovascular diseases, inflammation has been proven to play a pivotal role in disease progression, pathogenesis and resolution. A few clinical studies have assessed the pos...

The autonomic nervous system has a regulatory structure that helps people adapt to changes in their environment by adjusting or modifying some functions in response to stress, and regulating involuntary function of human organs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined stimulation, both far-infrared heating and chiropractic, on the autonomic nervous system activities ...

The aim of this present study was to investigate the effects of training on exercise tolerance of patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention. Fifty-seven cases of coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention were divided randomly into the rehabilitation training group (26 cases) and control group (31 cases). Patients in the rehabilitation tr...

conclusions we found that the use of clopidogrel in patients undergoing pci had favorable effects on the suppression of hs-crp. this effect appears to be heightened and more apparent in some group of patients with co-morbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. results six hundred-fifty patients including 386 (59.4%) male and 264 (40.6%) female subjects were enrolled in the study. the mean hs...

conclusions this study shows that pci in symptomatic post cabg patients follows by high successful and low complication rate and positive impression on their cardiac symptoms and could reduce the need for redo cabg. it seems that there is no difference that pci is performing on svg or native vessel, the intervention itself improves the patients’ quality of life. patients and methods in this stu...

background: the optimal strategy in percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) for coronary artery bifurcation lesions has yet to be agreed upon. we compared a strategy for stenting the main vessel to provide a complete perfusion flow in the side branch, namely thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (timi) - iii, with a strategy for intervention in both the main vessel and the side branch (mv + sb...

S cardiac death is almost always associated with coronary artery disease (1), but even in coronary artery disease, the autonomic nervous system plays a significant role in the genesis of arrhythmias (2). It is well established that the central nervous system can trigger sudden death by intense activation of the autonomic nervous system (3), the release of opioids, or the release of neuroactive ...

background: the aim of the present study was to develop a scoring system for predicting 1-year major adverse cardiac events (mace), including mortality, target vessel or target lesion revascularization, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and non-fatal myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). methods: the data were extracted from a single center pci registry. the ...

conclusions although by current treatments, the prevalence of patients with low tc, ldl-c and non-hdl-c has significantly increased; dyslipidemia persisted in a considerable proportion of patients. these results necessitate further investigations into the relationship between high serum lipids and long-term outcome of patients after pci as well as further evaluations of the dyslipidemia treatme...
