Platelets and mural thrombus at the lesion site may play a key role in initiating the restenosis process after coronary interventions. The ISAR Trial provides a comparison of the outcomes of patients randomized to two different antithrombotic regimens administered for 4 weeks after successful coronary stent placement: combined antiplatelet therapy (aspirin plus ticlopidine) or a conventional anticoagulant regimen (phenprocoumon with initial overlapping heparin plus aspirin). Within the first 4 weeks after stent placement, combined antiplatelet therapy has been associated with a significant reduction of ischemic complications. In the present study, we examined whether combined antiplatelet therapy administered for 4 weeks after stent placement is able to reduce the process of restenosis at 6 months.

The long-term administration of ACE inhibitors to selected patients with left ventricular dysfunction appears to reduce the incidence of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina pectoris. The mechanisms responsible for the reduction in ischemic events are unknown, but likely candidates include effects on the atherosclerotic process, thrombosis, and/or vascular tone.

来源: Circulation. 1997年96卷2期404-7页
The clinical significance of the association between elevated anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cp) antibody titres and coronary heart disease (CHD) is unclear. We explored the relationship between antibodies against Cp and future cardiovascular events in male survivors of myocardial infarction (MI). The effect of azithromycin antibiotic therapy was assessed in a subgroup of post-MI patients.

Cardiac troponin I (CTnI) has been shown to be a marker of myocardial injury. The aim of this study was to compare antegrade crystalloid cardioplegia with antegrade cold blood cardioplegia with warm reperfusion using CTnI release as the criteria for evaluating the adequacy of myocardial protection.
3046. Sympathetic and vascular effects of short-term passive smoke exposure in healthy nonsmokers.
The physiological effects of cigarette smoking have been widely studied; however, little is known about the effects of acute exposure to sidestream smoke (passive smoking). We examined the effects of sidestream smoke on muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and forearm vascular resistance (FVR) at rest and during stressful stimuli, including the cold pressor test (CPT), sustained handgrip (SHG), and mental stress (MS).

Pacemakers and theophylline are currently being used to relieve symptoms in patients with sick sinus syndrome (SSS). However, the impact of either therapy on the natural course of the disease is unknown. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to prospectively assess the effects of pacemakers and theophylline in patients with SSS.
3048. Effects of RheothRx on mortality, morbidity, left ventricular function, and infarct size in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Collaborative Organization for RheothRx Evaluation (CORE).
来源: Circulation. 1997年96卷1期192-201页
Previous studies suggested that RheothRx (poloxamer 188) reduces infarct size and improves left ventricular (LV) function in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We therefore evaluated the effects of various doses of RheothRx in 2948 patients presenting with AMI.

Left ventricular remodeling is an important sequela of myocardial infarction (MI). Although remodeling occurs soon after MI, the effect of early left ventricular dilatation on outcome is not established and may be useful for early risk stratification. We assessed whether end-systolic volume index (ESVI) at 90 to 180 minutes into thrombolytic therapy for MI is associated with adverse outcomes.

Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of intravenous administration of agents that block platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors in the setting of percutaneous coronary revascularization. Although the optimal duration of treatment has not been determined, more prolonged receptor blockade has been associated with increased efficacy. Orally active glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists may be advantageous and required for chronic therapy.

来源: Circulation. 1997年95卷12期2607-9页
Left ventricular dilation after acute myocardial infarction (MI) is mainly determined by infarct size. In addition, this detrimental structural adaptation seems to be augmented in patients with the ACE DD genotype. The ACE DD genotype is associated with increased ACE activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether ACE activity per se may carry prognostic significance for subsequent left ventricular dilation as assessed by echocardiography during 1-year follow-up after acute MI.

Intermittent claudication due to peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is a common cause of pain and disability in the middle-aged. Clinical trials of the potent vasodilator prostaglandin E1 have been disappointing. This is the first report of a controlled clinical trial of AS-0:3, a novel prodrug of prostaglandin E1 incorporated into lipid microspheres that has been developed to improve delivery of the active compound to blood vessel walls.
3060. Differential effects of captopril and nitrates on muscle sympathetic nerve activity in volunteers.
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is an important regulator of cardiovascular function. Activation of SNS plays an important role in the pathophysiology and the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmia, and possibly hypertension. Vasodilators such as adenosine and sodium nitroprusside are known to activate SNS via baroreflex mechanisms. Because vasodilators are widely used in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of clinically used dosages of isosorbide dinitrate and captopril on sympathetic nerve activity at rest and during stimulatory maneuvers.
