Our aim was to study aortic wall properties at comparable blood pressures for a follow-up period of 30 days after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We performed ultrasound aortic wall and non-invasive pressure measurements to determine, at the level

The mechanism of aortic pulse pressure decline induced by acute rapid ventricular pacing remains incompletely understood. It has been ascribed to changes in stroke volume or aortic compliance. This becomes more complicated by the dependence of aortic

OBJECTIVE We evaluated left atrial dimensions and function in high C-reactive protein (CRP) patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. BACKGROUND In patients with increased plasma levels of CRP left atrial dysfunction may enhance the occurrence of

Although C-reactive protein (CRP) is a major cardiovascular risk factor, its association with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains controversial. This study explored whether the CRP-related incidence of AF is modified by serum markers of inflammation in

Background A restrictive pattern of left ventricular filling is often present in patients with severe heart failure. Although the hemodynamic effects of levosimendan have been studied, the effects of levosimendan on LV filling pattern have not been i

Aortic stiffness may predict progression to hypertension beyond classic risk factors. In a longitudinal study, we assessed the predictive value of aortic stiffness on future hypertension in nonhypertensive subjects with blood pressure (BP)

Background Little direct information is available on the effect of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) lowering on the reduction of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods and Results We compared low-dose glucocorticoid therapy (16 mg methylprednisolone for

Background - Detection of inflammation is best achieved by measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP).We investigated whether inflammation might promote the development of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), and whether high levels of CRP are associa
