Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of mitral-valve replacement on the pulmonary vascular dynamics of patients with pulmonary hypertension.

TL;DR: In many patients the elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance is extreme and constitutes the major hemodynamic burden faced by the right ventricle, and under these circumstances the secondary changes in the pulmonary vascular bed become primarily responsible for many of the clinical findings, including ventricular failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The reduction of infarct size--an idea whose time (for testing) has come.

TL;DR: Technological developments during subsequent decades allowed a systematic reexamination of this problem in the mid-1950s, resulting in more precise elucidation of the role of intraventricular tension, myocardial fiber shortening, contraction frequency, and external cardiac work in regulating the heart's oxygen needs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left Ventricular Performance Following Correction of Free Aortic Regurgitation

TL;DR: A fixed abnormality in diastolic LV pressure-volume characteristics, determined from preoperative and postoperative measurements of pressure and radius during diastole, had occurred in patients with depressed myocardial function, suggesting reversal of stress relaxation, or creep, following relief of volume overload.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of white blood cell count with increased mortality in acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina pectoris

TL;DR: It is observed in a study of 7,651 patients with acute coronary syndromes that a white blood cell count of > 10,000 was associated with increased 30-day and 10-month mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential expression of cardiac biomarkers by gender in patients with unstable angina/non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a TACTICS-TIMI 18 (Treat Angina with Aggrastat and determine Cost of Therapy with an Invasive or Conservative Strategy-Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 18) substudy.

TL;DR: In patients with UA/NSTEMI, there was a different pattern of presenting biomarkers, whereas women were more likely to have elevated C-reactive protein and brain natriuretic peptide, which suggests that a multimarker approach may aid the initial risk assessment of UA-N STEMI, especially in women.
