- 1From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Stroke is a potential complication of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence, risk factors predisposing to stroke, in-hospital and 1-year mortality among patients...
- 2From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground We aimed to evaluate the multivariate association between functional microvascular variables and clinical-laboratorial-anthropometrical measurements. Methods Data from 189 female subjects (34.0[+ or...
- 3From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Regular exercise is beneficial for cardiovascular health but a recent meta-analysis indicated a relationship between extensive endurance sport and a higher risk of atrial fibrillation, an independent risk...
- 4From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Patients with Senning repair for complete transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) show an impaired exercise tolerance. Our aim was to investigate changes in exercise capacity in children, adolescents...
- 5From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cardiac rehabilitation is very important for the recovery and the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, and one of its main strategies is to increase the level of physical activity. Internet and...
- 6From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Predicting response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remains a challenge. We evaluated the role of baseline QRS pattern to predict response in terms of improvement in biventricular ejection...
- 7From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Genetic variation at 1p13 modulates serum lipid levels and the risk of coronary heart disease through the regulation of serum lipid levels. Here we investigate if the interaction between genetic variants...
- 8From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Elevated serum bilirubin has been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, serum bilirubin is also related with several potential confounders related to CVD, such as obesity....
- 9From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The arterial wall possesses several functional and structural properties that define arterial health. Once they become impaired, cardiovascular risk increases. We aimed to ascertain the pattern of...
- 10From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground We investigated whether 9p21 polymorphisms are associated with cardiovascular events in a group of 611 patients enrolled in the Medical, Angioplasty or Surgery Study II (MASS II), a randomized trial...
- 11From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Hypertension is a growing public health problem in many developing countries including Ethiopia. However, its prevention and control has not yet received due attention. This study aimed to determine the...
- 12From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Acute allograft rejection is a major cause of early mortality in the first year after heart transplantation in adults. Although endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is not a perfect "gold standard" for a correct...
- 13From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Considerable proportion of patients does not respond to the cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). This study investigated clinical relevance of left ventricular electrode local electrogram delay from...
- 14From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground In a previous in vitro study, we confirmed that small-caliber nanofibrous polyurethane (PU) vascular grafts have favorable mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In the present study, we examined the...
- 15From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Cardiovascular diseases contribute substantially to the poor health and reduced life expectancy of Indigenous Australians. Heart failure is a common, disabling, progressive and costly complication of these...
- 16From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although autopsy studies have documented that the heart is affected in most SLE patients, clinical...
- 17From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Lipid accumulation product (LAP) has been advocated as a simple clinical indicator of metabolic syndrome (MS). However, no studies have evaluated the accuracy of LAP in predicting MS in Taiwanese adults....
- 18From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery (AAOCA) from the opposite sinus of Valsalva with an interarterial course has received much attention due to its association with sudden death in otherwise...
- 19From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been established as a treatment option for inoperable patients with symptomatic aortic valve stenosis. However, patients suffer frequently from conduction...
- 20From: BMC Cardiovascular Disorders. (Vol. 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been related to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Different criteria for diagnosis of MetS have been recommended, but there is no agreement about which criteria are...
