1. Immunoadsorption therapy in refractory heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy: a potential therapeutic option
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Removal of cardiac autoantibodies by immunoadsorption might confer clinical improvement in dilated cardiomyopathy. In this pilot study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of immunoadsorption therapy in refractory heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS: This study consisted of 9 heart failure patients with dilate

2. Effect of candesartan treatment on echocardiographic indices of cardiac remodeling in post-myocardial infarction patients
SUMMARY Objective: Myocardial infarction has unfavorable effect on structural and functional properties of the myocardium, referred to as cardiac remodeling. Left ventricular mass, left ventricular mass index, and relative wall thickness are important predictors of cardiac remodeling. In this study, we investigated the effect of candesartan treatment in com

3. The relationship between premature ventricular complexes and index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Premature ventricular complexes are common in healthy individuals’ ambulatory monitoring. The index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance may predict malignant ventricular arrhythmias. This study investigated the relation between Premature ventricular complex burden and index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance in 24-h Holter moni

4. Predictors of left ventricular ejection function decline in young patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: A decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction (≤40%) in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is a significant predictor of mortality in the young ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction population. In this study, we aimed to investigate the predictors of left ventricular ejection fraction reduction and eva

5. Surgical Reconstruction of a Left Ventricular Aneurysm Using an Extracellular Matrix Patch
Abstract The left ventricular aneurysm is a pathological condition defined as an akinetic or dyskinetic area of the left ventricle (LV) wall associated with reduced ejection fraction. The most common surgical technique to reconstruct a left ventricular aneurysm is endoventricular patch plasty (Dor procedure). In this case, endoventricular reconstruction of t

6. Predictive value of oxidative, antioxidative, and inflammatory status for left ventricular systolic recovery after percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the association between left ventricular ejection fraction recovery and the total oxidant status, total antioxidant capacity, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. METHODS: A total of 264 ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients were classified into two groups according to baseline and 6-month fo

7. Efficacy of fetal left ventricular modified myocardial performance index in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fetal left ventricular modified myocardial performance index in predicting adverse perinatal outcomes for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 51 women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and 80 healthy controls. Using Dop

8. Isolated Left Ventricular Apical Hypoplasia without Lamin A/C Gene Mutation
Abstract Isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia is a rare cardiomyopathy, with a broad range of clinical presentations. Since this entity was already described in association with osteomuscular diseases, mutation in the Lamin A/C gene has been regarded as a possible cause of this disease. This study describes the case of an asymptomatic teenager with is

9. ASSOCIATIVISMO E REDES DE CIRCULAÇÃO DE IDEIAS NO CARIBE BRITÂNICO: A EXPERIÊNCIA DO LEFT BOOK CLUB IN JAMAICA
Resumo Com base na história do Left Book Club in Jamaica (LBCJ), fundado em Kingston, em 1938, pelo historiador e sindicalista Richard Hart, este artigo pretendeu analisar processos de circulação, leitura e apropriação de ideias anticoloniais em circuito transnacional. Além de atuar como clube do livro, fazendo circular material impresso produzido na m

10. Carotid Subclavian Bypass for the Treatment of Coronary Subclavian Steal Syndrome
Abstract Coronary subclavian steal syndrome is an uncommon cause of angina in patients with a previous coronary artery bypass graft procedure. The patient had chest pain with the exertion of the left upper limb, difference in blood pressure between the left and right arm, occlusion at the ostium of the left subclavian artery. He underwent carotid subclavian

11. Evaluation of Ventricular Remodeling and Prognosis in Patients with Aortic Stenosis Who Underwent Surgical or Percutaneous Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
ABSTRACT Introduction: Aortic stenosis is the most common heart valve disease in the world, and patients that present with symptoms have a high mortality rate. Aortic valve replacement has the objective of promote left ventricular remodeling, reduce symptoms, and increase overall survival. The objective of this study is to evaluate reverse remodeling of the

12. Acute left heart failure with pulmonary edema during resection of pediatric neuroblastoma: case report
Abstract Resection of an unknown neck mass in a 6-year-old child triggered acute left-sided heart failure and pulmonary edema. The lesion was confirmed as neuroblastoma by postoperative tissue examination. Such tumors regularly synthesize and secrete catecholamines, warranting caution in advance of surgical manipulation.
