Adiponectin and cardiovascular remodeling in end-stage renal disease and co-morbid diabetes mellitus (2006)

Karakitsos, D., Groot, E. De, Patrianakos, A.P., Parthenakis, F., Boletis, J., Karabinis, A., ...

Objectives and Methods: Altered plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and adiponectin (ADP) may contribute to increased vascular inflammation and accelerated atherosclerosis in patients...

Early application of an implantable loop recorder allows effective specific therapy in patients with recurrent suspected neurally mediated syncope (2006)

Brignole, M., Sutton, R., Menozzi, C., Garcia-Civera, R., Moya, A., Wieling, W., ...

Aims This prospective multicentre observational study assessed the efficacy of specific therapy based on implantable loop recorder (ILR) diagnostic observations in patients with recurrent suspected...

Lack of correlation between the responses to tilt testing and adenosine triphosphate test and the mechanism of spontaneous neurally mediated syncope (2006)

Brignole, M., Sutton, R., Menozzi, C., Garcia-Civera, R., Moya, A., Wieling, W., ...

Aims We prospectively correlated the results of tilt testing (TT) and adenosine triphosphate test (ATP) with the findings observed during a spontaneous syncopal relapse by means of an implantable...

Comparative assessment of right, left, and biventricular pacing in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (2005)

Brignole, M., Gammage, M., Puggioni, E., Alboni, P., Raviele, A., Sutton, R., ...

Aims Left ventricular (LV) and biventricular (BiV) pacing are potentially superior to right ventricular (RV) apical pacing in patients undergoing atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation and pacing...

Comparative assessment of right, left, and biventricular pacing in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (2004)

Brignole, M., Gammage, M., Puggioni, E., Alboni, P., Raviele, A., Sutton, R., ...

Aims Left ventricular (LV) and biventricular (BiV) pacing are potentially superior to right ventricular (RV) apical pacing in patients undergoing atrioventricular (AV) junction ablation and pacing...

TASK FORCE ON SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH, EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY: Summary of Recommendations (2002)

Priori, S. G., Aliot, E., Blømstrom-Lundqvist, C., Bossaert, L., Breithardt, G., Brugada, P., ...

The World Survey of Cardiac Pacing and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators: calendar year 1997--Europe (2001)

Rickards, A F, Kappenberger, L, Linde, C, Vardas, P, Oto, A, ...

The registry of the European Working Group on Cardiac Pacing (EWGCP) is based on the European Pacemaker Identification Card originally designed in July 1978. National registration centers collect the...

Atrial and ventricular refractoriness in paced patients; circadian variation and its relationship to autonomic nervous system activity (2001)

Simantirakis, E.N., Chrysostomakis, S.I., Marketou, M.E., Kochiadakis, G.E., Vardakis, K.E., Mavrakis, H.E., ...

Aims To examine whether atrial and ventricular effective refractory periods exhibit circadian variation and whether the latter is correlated with fluctuations in autonomic nervous system tone....

The incidence of malignant vasovagal syndrome in patients with recurrent syncope (1991)

FITZPATRICK, A., THEODORAKIS, G., VARDAS, P., KENNY, R. A., TRAVILL, C. M., INGRAM, A., ...

We reviewed 322 patients with recurrent syncope between 1984 and 1988. Investigation included limited intracardiac electrophysiological study in all cases with programmed extra-stimulus studies in 48...
