Prognostic Significance of PR Interval Prolongation in Adult Patients With Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot.

TL;DR: It is indicated that progressive atrioventricular conduction disturbance is correlated with right ventricular enlargement and could be a useful predictor for increased risk of lethal ventricular arrhythmias in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significance of Defective Endothelial Signal Transduction in Impaired Endothelium-Dependent Relaxation in Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: The dysfunction of pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein (Gi protein) may contribute to the impairment of the endothelium-dependent relaxations in atherosclerosis.
Book ChapterDOI

Pathophysiology of Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the latest knowledge on the pathophysiology of CMD with a special reference to endothelial modulation of vascular tone mediated by H2O2/EDH factor and coronary microvascular spasm, in addition to discussing clinical implications of and therapeutic approaches to CMD in cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlations Between Recruitable Coronary Collateral Flow Velocities, Distal Occlusion Pressure, and Electrocardiographic Changes in Patients Undergoing Angioplasty

TL;DR: The goal of this study was to correlate the magnitudes and waveform characteristics of recruitable coronary collateral flow velocity measured with Doppler guidewire with other hemodynamic and functional indexes of collateral circulation in patients during angioplasty to find functionally significant coronary collaterals showed greater velocity signals and systolic predominance in flow pattern.
