We sought external validation of a prediction model for the probability of a successful external cephalic version (ECV). We evaluated the performance of the prediction model with calibration and discrimination. For clinical practice, we developed a score chart to calculate the probability of a successful ECV. We studied 320 women undergoing ECV, of which 117 (37%) were successful. The model und...
AIMS External cardioversion (ECV) of atrial fibrillation (AF) may damage implanted pacemaker and cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) systems. This prospective study evaluated the safety and efficacy of ECV comparing mono- to biphasic shock waveforms in patients with implanted rhythm devices. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with pacemaker or ICD systems and an indication for ECV were randomized to r...
BACKGROUNDS Previous studies have shown that diffusion-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DW-CMR) is highly sensitive to replacement fibrosis of chronic myocardial infarction. Despite this sensitivity to myocardial infarction, DW-CMR has not been established as a method to detect diffuse myocardial fibrosis. We propose the application of a recently developed DW-CMR technique to detect ...
BACKGROUND Assessment of diffuse right ventricular (RV) fibrosis is of particular interest in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and heart failure (HF). Current cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping techniques such as Modified Look-Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) imaging have limited resolution, but accelerated and navigator-gated Look-Locker imaging for cardiac T1 estimation (ANGIE) is...
Extracellular vesicles (ECV), like exosomes, gained recently a lot of attention as potentially playing a significant role in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in Aβ pathology. While there are a lot of reports on ECV/exosomes derived from a variety of cell types, there is limited information on ECV/exosomes originated from brain microvascular endothelial cells forming the blood-brain barr...
The effects of B. gingivalis W50 extracellular vesicles (ECV) on neutrophil chemotaxis and viability were assessed and compared with those of whole cells and the extracellular non-dialysable soluble protein (EP) fraction. None of the fractions tested, including soluble fractions derived from cells and ECV by sonication, induced neutrophil chemotaxis. Only ECV and cells inhibited f-MLP-stimulate...
Background Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) has been applied to the detection of diffuse myocardial interstitial fibrosis or exudative pathologic changes in various clinical settings, but there is lack of study to date concerning the significance of ECV at the early phase of left ventricular remodeling. We intended to assess myocardial ECV in essential hypertension and to study the implicati...
Backgrounds and Objective. During the procession of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), transthoracic electrical cardioversion (ECV) is required to terminate AF. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of additional ECV on cardiac function and recurrence of AF. Methods and Results. Persistent AF patients received extensive encircling pul...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess if peak early diastolic transmitral velocity (E-wave) can be used as a surrogate marker of short-term atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. METHODS We prospectively studied 57 consecutive patients who underwent electrical cardioversion (ECV) for AF and successfully converted to sinus rhythm. N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide levels (BNP) before...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of the contrast "bolus only" T1 mapping cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) technique for measuring myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV). BACKGROUND Myocardial ECV can be measured with T1 mapping before and after contrast agent if the contrast agent distribution between blood/myocardium is at equilibrium. Equilibrium distri...
