Symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed in 37 patients with mitral stenosis (MS) without significant coronary artery stenosis to evaluate factors affecting ST depression in exercise electrocardiograms. The degree of ST depression was not associated with gender or exercise tolerance. The incidence of significant ST depression was higher in the patients receiving than in th...

Twenty four hour ambulatory monitoring was performed on 120 healthy volunteers using a frequency modulated recorder: 50 men and 50 women below 40 years and 20 men between 40 and 60 years were studied. Twenty eight subjects had episodes of ST segment elevation (range 1-3 mm), which occurred almost invariably at night with a slow heart rate 62.4 +/- 10.4 beats/min). ST segment elevation occurred ...

To address the low productivity of sandy farmlands, our study aimed to conduct a comparative on effects different organic amendment (OA) inputs for potential improvement crop yield and soil quality in alkaline farmlands through selection suitable OA. This set up straw (ST) returning as control chemical fertilizer (CF) treatment side control, chose three OAs treatments, including pig manure (PM)...

One hundred fourteen patients with variant angina performed bicycle exercise stress tests, and were divided into three groups. Group 1 included 37 patients with a normal exercise test. Coronary arteriography revealed absence of significant coronary stenoses in 18 patients, one-vessel disease in 17 and involvement of two or more vessels in two. Group 2 consisted of 40 patients who had ST-segment...

BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram (ECG) manifestations of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) produce ST-segment elevation or T-wave inversion, mimicking acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We describe the ECG manifestation of TC, including ECG evolution, and its different points from ACS. METHODS We studied 37 consecutive patients (age 67 ± 15 years, range 23-89, M:F = 12:25) from March 2004 to November 201...

In this study, the influence of high-pressure torsion (HPT) processing parameters and solution treatment (ST) on corrosion tribocorrosion behavior CoCrMo (CCM) alloys was investigated for possible usage in biomedical applications. The CCM by using potentiodynamic scanning (PDS) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) tests. Tribocorrosion tests were carried out a reciprocating ball-on-plat...
