TL;DR: Findings point to competition for space by the ventricles in the distended pericardial sac as being the major factor in the production of pulsus paradoxus.

TL;DR: Radioactive krypton (Kr85) has been found to provide substantial advantages over other gases and it has therefore been employed routinely in this laboratory for the past several years and it is the purpose of this communication to analyse the results obtained from the application of the Kr85 inhalation test in 323 patients.

TL;DR: A biomarker-based strategy identifies a gradient of risk among patients post-ACS, offering the potential to identify higher-risk patients with a correspondingly high absolute benefit from the addition of ezetimibe to statin therapy.

TL;DR: The results indicate that acute ischemic heart failure is not initiated by a detectable depression in total myocardial ATP stores, and this should not be interpreted as a cause for concern.

TL;DR: The increased mortality rate with bypass surgery after thrombolytic therapy, particularly in patients undergoing operation within 24 h of coronary angioplasty or during the involving phase of infarction, must be balanced against the excellent 1-year prognosis and perioperative survivors, who are in general a group at higher risk of death or recurrent infarctions.
