The effects of coronary artery bypass graft operation were studied in 32 patients with daytime ambulatory ST segment changes and 14 patients with daytime and nocturnal angina and ST segment changes. Patients had ambulatory ST segment monitoring and exercise testing before and after operation and coronary arteriography was repeated in 34 patients after operation. Before operation, patients with ...

Near maximal graded exercise tests and coronary angiograms were compared in 37 patients with a history of chest pain and with ST segment depression at rest, who were free of obvious nonischemic causes of ST depression. Additional ST depression of 0.1 mV or more occurred with exercise in 26 patients and 23 of these had obstruction of one or more coronary arteries (sensitivity = 0.92). Eleven pat...

AIMS Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the preferred reperfusion therapy in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We conducted this study to evaluate the contemporary status on the use and type of reperfusion therapy in patients admitted with STEMI in the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) member countries. METHODS AND RESULTS A cross-sectional descriptive study bas...

Body temperature (BT) monitoring in cattle could be used to early detect fever from infectious disease or physiological events. Various ways to measure BT have been applied at different locations on cattle including rectum, reticulum, milk, subcutis and ear canal. In other to evaluate the temperature stability and reliability of subcutaneous temperature (ST) in highly fluctuating field conditio...

BACKGROUND Treatment of ST-elevation myocardial infarction has undergone great evolution since introduction of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The purpose was therefore to assess the outcome of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing surgical revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS A total of 138 consecutive patients with ST-elevati...
