4961. Influence of age on mechanisms and prognosis of heart failure. The V-HeFT VA Cooperative Studies Group.
Advanced age is commonly thought to carry a poor prognosis in congestive heart failure, but the case has not been established. The Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Vasodilator-Heart Failure Trials (V-HeFT I and II) provided a large data base to assess the effect of age on hemodynamic profiles and survival in the failing heart.

Since the inception of coronary angioplasty, heparin with or without aspirin has been routinely given intraprocedurally to avoid coronary thrombotic complications. Recently, the direct thrombin inhibitor hirulog has been demonstrated to inactivate clot-bound thrombin. The present study was a multicenter dose escalation of hirulog to determine its appropriate dose and feasibility as the sole anticoagulant during coronary angioplasty.

Two different techniques have been developed for radiofrequency catheter ablation of typical atrioventricular nodal reentry (AVNRT). Lesions made anteriorly near the apex of the triangle of Koch usually eliminate fast pathway function, whereas lesions made posteriorly near the ostium of the coronary sinus selectively affect slow pathway function. The current study compares the safety, efficacy, and electrophysiological effects of these two techniques in a prospective, randomized fashion.

Successful coronary thrombolysis involves a risk for reocclusion that cannot be prevented by invasive strategies. Therefore, we studied the effects of three antithrombotic regimens on the angiographic and clinical courses after successful thrombolysis.

The discovery of new properties of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in addition to their well-known ability to lower blood-pressure, such as antiproliferative actions and antiadrenergic and vagal-stimulating effects, has contributed to the usefulness of this class of agents in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
4970. Prognostic significance of progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
Angiographic progression of coronary atherosclerosis is frequently observed in clinical practice and is used as an end point in clinical trials; however, its prognostic significance is unclear.

The Electrophysiologic Study Versus Electrocardiographic Monitoring (ESVEM) study was designed to compare the accuracy of predictions of antiarrhythmic drug efficacy made by electrophysiological study (EPS) with those made by Holter monitoring (HM) combined with exercise testing. The present study describes the baseline characteristics and the response to drug efficacy tests of 486 randomized subjects.
4976. Long-term benefit of 1-year amiodarone treatment for persistent complex ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction.

来源: Circulation. 1993年87卷2期309-11页
In the Basel Antiarrhythmic Study of Infarct Survival trial, low-dose amiodarone improved 1-year survival in patients with asymptomatic complex ventricular arrhythmias persisting 2 weeks after myocardial infarction. To assess whether this beneficial effect persisted despite discontinuation of amiodarone after 1 year, the long-term outcomes of all patients of the amiodarone-treated group (initially n = 98) and those of the control group (n = 114) were assessed.

Several studies performed before the advent of thrombolysis have shown that the presence of ventricular arrhythmias is an independent risk factor for subsequent mortality in patients recovering from acute myocardial infarction. Since fibrinolysis affects the natural history of infarction and may alter the clinical relevance of different risk factors, the aim of the present study was to establish the prevalence and prognostic value of ventricular arrhythmias in post-myocardial infarction patients treated with fibrinolytic agents during the acute phase.

It has been shown that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), an endogenous vasodilator, dilates coronary arteries and decreases coronary vascular resistance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an intravenous administration of ANP attenuated exercise-induced myocardial ischemia in 14 patients with stable effort angina pectoris.
