beta-Blockade-induced benefit in heart failure (HF) could be related to baseline heart rate and treatment-induced heart rate reduction, but no such relationships have been demonstrated.

A prolonged QTc interval is considered a contraindication for class III antiarrhythmic drugs, but the influence of a normal or a slightly increased baseline QTc interval on the risk or benefit of treatment with a class III antiarrhythmic drug is not sufficiently clarified.
3823. Cost-effectiveness of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator: results from the Canadian Implantable Defibrillator Study (CIDS).

In the Canadian Implantable Defibrillator Study (CIDS), we assessed the cost-effectiveness of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in reducing the risk of death in survivors of previous ventricular tachycardia (VT) or fibrillation (VF).
3824. Ticlopidine pretreatment before coronary stenting is associated with sustained decrease in adverse cardiac events: data from the Evaluation of Platelet IIb/IIIa Inhibitor for Stenting (EPISTENT) Trial.

来源: Circulation. 2001年103卷10期1403-9页
Platelet inhibition at the time of a percutaneous coronary intervention has consistently been shown to decrease the risk of thrombotic adverse events but not restenosis. The role of enhanced antiplatelet protection through pretreatment with the platelet ADP-receptor antagonist ticlopidine in preventing both the early and late complications of coronary stenting has not previously been explored.
3825. Positive and negative feedback mechanisms in the neural regulation of cardiovascular function in healthy and spinal cord-injured humans.
We tested the hypothesis that in humans, hypertension/tachycardia and hypotension/bradycardia nonbaroreflex sequences that occur within spontaneous arterial pressure (AP) and R-R interval fluctuations are an expression of positive feedback mechanisms neurally regulating the cardiovascular system.
3826. Deceleration time in ischemic cardiomyopathy: relation to echocardiographic and scintigraphic indices of myocardial viability and functional recovery after revascularization.

In patients with heart failure secondary to left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, a short deceleration time (DT) successfully predicts clinical outcome. The impact of myocardial viability and revascularization on the mitral inflow velocities, however, is unknown.

Distal coronary flow velocity reserve (CVR) is significantly improved after a successful balloon angioplasty (PTCA). Furthermore, a postinterventional CVR >2.5 and a percent diameter stenosis (%DS) </=35% are predictive for a low incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 6 months of 16%. Similar results are lacking for coronary stenting.
3828. Rapid reduction in C-reactive protein with cerivastatin among 785 patients with primary hypercholesterolemia.
Long-term therapy with hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins) has been shown to reduce levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). However, the generalizability, speed of onset, and dose-response characteristics of this effect are uncertain.
3829. Beneficial effects of pentoxifylline in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and carvedilol: results of a randomized study.
We previously reported beneficial effects of pentoxifylline, a xanthine-derived agent known to inhibit the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy treated with diuretics, digoxin, and ACE inhibitors. Since then, 3 large clinical trials showed important clinical benefits of beta-blockers in this population. Therefore, we designed the present study to establish whether in patients with heart failure already receiving treatment with ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers, the addition of pentoxifylline would have an additive beneficial effect.

Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a recognized determinant of survival in patients with coronary artery disease. In major trials comparing surgical and percutaneous revascularization approaches, the long-term effect of the coronary revascularization strategy on LVEF has not been reported.

Previously, we showed that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonism with etanercept, a soluble TNF receptor, was well tolerated and that it suppressed circulating levels of biologically active TNF for 14 days in patients with moderate heart failure. However, the effects of sustained TNF antagonism in heart failure are not known.

Salt dependency of blood pressure (BP) characterizes most models of experimental hypertension in which endothelins play a significant vasoconstrictor role. Despite this, there are no data on the regulation of plasma endothelin by salt balance in human hypertension.
3833. The phytoestrogen genistein produces acute nitric oxide-dependent dilation of human forearm vasculature with similar potency to 17beta-estradiol.

Genistein, a phytoestrogen, may have estrogenic cardioprotective actions. We investigated whether genistein influences endothelium-dependent vasodilation in forearm vasculature of healthy human subjects and compared the effects of genistein with those of 17beta-estradiol.
3834. Left ventricular hypertrophy with exercise and ACE gene insertion/deletion polymorphism: a randomized controlled trial with losartan.

Local cardiac renin-angiotensin systems may regulate left ventricular (LV) hypertrophic responses. The absence (deletion [D]) of a 287-bp marker in the ACE gene is associated with greater myocardial ACE levels and exercise-related LV growth than is its presence (insertion [I]), an effect potentially mediated through either increased activity of the cellular growth factor angiotensin II on the angiotensin type 1 (AT(1)) receptor or increased degradation of growth-inhibiting kinins. We sought to confirm ACE genotype-associated exertional LV growth and to clarify the role of the AT(1) receptor in this association.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is characterized by enhanced immune activation, and immune-mediated mechanisms may play a pathogenic role in this disorder. Based on the immunomodulatory effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), we hypothesized that IVIG could downregulate inflammatory responses in CHF patients and have potential beneficial effects on the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Restenosis remains an important limitation of interventional cardiology. Therefore, we aimed to determine the safety and efficacy of sirolimus (a cell-cycle inhibitor)-coated BX Velocity stents.
3837. Serial intravascular ultrasound analysis of the impact of lesion length on the efficacy of intracoronary gamma-irradiation for preventing recurrent in-stent restenosis.

The relation between lesion length and effectiveness of brachytherapy is not well studied.

Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is common in children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but its clinical importance is unclear. Our objective was to determine whether abnormalities of LV structure and function independently predict all-cause mortality in HIV-infected children.

Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a predictor of mortality in patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF). The PWV is partly dependent on blood pressure (BP), and a decrease in BP can attenuate the stiffness. Whether the changes in PWV in response to decreases in BP can predict mortality in ESRF patients has never been investigated.
3840. Effects of endothelin a receptor blockade on endothelial function in patients with chronic heart failure.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation and increased basal vascular tone due, in part, to elevated endothelin-1 plasma levels. In the present study, we investigated whether a reduction of vascular tone using an endothelin A receptor blocker attenuates the impairment of endothelium-dependent, flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD).
