Coronary microembolization: from bedside to bench and back to bedside.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Coronary microembolization from the erosion or rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque occurs spontaneously in acute coronary syndromes and iatrogenically during percutaneous coronary interventions. Typical consequences of coronary microembolization are microinfarcts with an inflammatory response, contractile dysfunction, and reduced coronary reserve. Apart from transient elevations of creatine kinase and troponin, microemboli can be visualized by intracoronary Doppler and the resulting microinfarcts by late-enhancement nuclear magnetic resonance. Statins, antiplatelet agents, and coronary vasodilators protect a...

Prediction of Head-Up Tilt Test Result: Is it Possible?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions:The results suggest that the early increase in HR during the first 10 minutes of the HUTT may not be a useful parameter for predicting the test result. Many factors, such as late exaggeration in sympathetic activity during HUTT and age-dependent reduction in baroreflex sensitivity, may attenuate the predictive value of early HR increase.

Conclusions:Intravascular lead extraction is a safe and efficient method of removing leads. However, there is a subgroup of patients with systemic sepsis with raised inflammatory markers who are at high risk of in-hospital mortality. Long-term follow-up demonstrates mortality which is a marker of the underlying etiology for device implantation, with heart failure patients particularly at risk. (PACE 2009; 1[ndash]8)

Transseptal Catheterization: Considerations and CaveatsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Transseptal catheterization is used by interventional cardiologists to gain access in the left atrium. This technique was initially introduced for left-sided pressure measurements and has been integrated in a variety of procedures including left atrial ablations and percutaneous mitral valvuloplasties. The establishment of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation as an effective treatment strategy has brought transseptal catheterization back to the limelight. Technique refinements, introduction of adjunctive imaging tools, and enrichment of available technical equipment have simplified the procedure. In the present article...

Acute inflammation increases arterial stiffness, central systolic blood pressure, and endothelial dysfunction in healthy subjectsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Acute systemic inflammation or infection transiently increases risk of cardiovascular events, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Although observational studies suggest that inflammation is positively associated with arterial stiffness and blood pressure, the causal relationship of this is not clear. Because increased inflammation could be related to vascular dysfunction, we tested the hypothesis that an acute inflammation causes an increase in arterial stiffness and blood pressure.
