Digitalis spp.: In Vitro Production of Haploids

1990

Digitalis, a member of the Scrophulariaceae, is composed of biennial or perennial herbs and occasionally of small shrubs. Several Digitalis species are used therapeutically, as they are a source of cardiac glycosides. The importance and distribution of these species are summarized below, with special attention to D. purpurea, D. lanata and D. obscura. For a detailed review see Thtin et al. (1972), Morton (1977), and Font Quer (1978).

Puente a trasplante cardiaco con oxigenación de membrana extracorpórea

2012

PUENTE A TRASPLANTE CARDIACO CON OXIGENACIÓN DE MEMBRANA EXTRACORPÓREA Objetivos: Los nuevos sistemas de Oxigenación de Membrana Extracorpórea (ECMO) han presentado un desarrollo tecnológico notable, fundamentalmente debido a la incorporación de oxigenadores y bombas centrífugas de larga duración, lo cual ha conducido a una importante mejoría en la supervivencia de los pacientes en shock cardiogénico refractario tratados con este tipo de asistencia mecánica circulatoria de corta duración. La implantación de este dispositivo por vía periférica de forma sencilla, rápida y poco agresiva en estos pacientes en shock cardiogénico con signos incipientes de fracaso multiorgánico puede mejorar su su…

Single-lead VDD-Systeme: Eine Alternative zu DDD-Systemen bei Patienten mit AV-Block

1999

VDD- und DDD-Systeme in der Therapie des isolierten AV-Blocks werden anhand der Kriterien Implantation und Komplikationen, Sicherheit der atrialen Wahrnehmung, Erhalt der AV-synchronen Stimulation, Notwendigkeit einer atrialen Stimulation, Inzidenz atrialer Rhythmusstorungen und Schrittmachernachsorge gegenubergestellt.

Intra-cardiac Signatures of Atrial Arrhythmias Identified by Machine Learning and Traditional Features

2021

Intracardiac devices separate atrial arrhythmias (AA) from sinus rhythm (SR) using electrogram (EGM) features such as rate, that are imperfect. We hypothesized that machine learning could improve this classification.

Management and predictors of clinical events in 75 686 patients with acute myocardial infarction

2022

Background:Although mortality of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) has decreased substantially over the last few decades in many countries MI remains a major threat to public health. Aims:To assess the number and outcomes of patients hospitalized for acute MI in Poland in 2018 as well as proportions of patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation and undergoing invasive cardiac procedures following discharge. Methods:We used public databases. We included all patients hospitalized for acute MI in Poland in 2018 and assessed event-free survival along with uptake of invasive cardiac procedures and cardiac rehabilitation and consultations with cardiologists. Results: A total of…

In-Hospital and One-Year Outcomes of Patients after Early and Late Resuscitated Cardiac Arrest Complicating Acute Myocardial Infarction—Data fr…

2022

The prognostic role of early (less than 48 h) resuscitated cardiac arrest (ErCA) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still controversial. The present study aimed to analyse the short-term and one-year outcomes of patients after ErCA and late resuscitated cardiac arrest (LrCA) compared to patients without cardiac arrest (CA) complicating AMI. Data from the prospective nationwide Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes (PL-ACS) were used to assess patients with resuscitated cardiac arrest (rCA) after AMI. Baseline clinical characteristics and the predictors of all-cause death were assessed. The all-cause mortality rate, complications, performed procedures, and re-hospitalisa…

A possible easy way to predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy: The role of QRS Index

2023

Background: Some studies have evaluated the role of QRS duration (QRSd) as predictor of response to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). However, their results are still not entirely clear. The goal of our study was to determine the correlation between the relative change in QRS narrowing index (QI) compared to clinical outcome and prognosis in patients who underwent CRT implantation. Methods: We collected clinical and echocardiographic data of 115 patients in whome a CRT device was implanted in accordance with current guidelines. QRS duration before and after CRT implantation and QI were measured. Results: After 6 months, a signifi cant improvement in all echocardiographic parameters w…
