Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac sarcoidosis: epidemiology, characteristics, and outcome over 25 years in a nationwide study.
Riina Kandolin,Jukka Y. A. Lehtonen,Juhani Airaksinen,Tapani Vihinen,Heikki Miettinen,Kari Ylitalo,Kari S. Kaikkonen,Suvi Sirkku Tuohinen,Petri Haataja,Tuomas Kerola,Jorma O. Kokkonen,Markus Pelkonen,Päivi Pietilä-Effati,Seppo Utrianen,Markku Kupari +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study was designed to assess the epidemiology, characteristics and outcome of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) in Finland by identifying all adult (>18 yr) patients diagnosed with histologically confirmed CS in Finland between 1988 and 2012.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further Insight into Mechanism of Action of Clodronate: Inhibition of Mitochondrial ADP/ATP Translocase by a Nonhydrolyzable, Adenine-Containing Metabolite
Petri Lehenkari,Maarit Kellinsalmi,Juha Näpänkangas,Kari Ylitalo,Jukka Mönkkönen,Michael J. Rogers,Alex Azhayev,H. Kalervo Väänänen,Ilmo E. Hassinen +8 more
TL;DR: Inhibition of the ADP/ATP translocase by the metabolite AppCCl(2)p is a likely route by which clodronate causes osteoclast apoptosis and inhibits bone resorption in isolated human osteoclasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of intracoronary injection of mononuclear bone marrow cells on left ventricular function, arrhythmia risk profile, and restenosis after thrombolytic therapy of acute myocardial infarction
Heikki V. Huikuri,Kari Kervinen,Matti Niemelä,Kari Ylitalo,Marjaana Säily,Pirjo Koistinen,Eeva-Riitta Savolainen,Heikki Ukkonen,Mikko Pietilä,Juhani Airaksinen,Juhani Knuuti,Timo H. Mäkikallio +11 more
TL;DR: Intracoronary BMC therapy is associated with an improvement of global LVEF and neutral effects on arrhythmia risk profile and restenosis of the stented coronary lesions in patients after thrombolytic therapy of STEMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized Comparison of Coronary Bifurcation Stenting with the Crush versus the Culotte Technique Using Sirolimus Eluting Stents: The Nordic Stent Technique Study
Andrejs Erglis,Indulis Kumsars,Matti Niemelä,Kari Kervinen,Michael Maeng,Jens Flensted Lassen,Pål Gunnes,Sindre Stavnes,Jan Skov Jensen,Anders Galløe,Inga Narbute,Dace Sondore,Timo H. Mäkikallio,Kari Ylitalo,Evald Høj Christiansen,Jan Ravkilde,Terje K. Steigen,Jan Mannsverk,Per Thayssen,Knud Nørregaard Hansen,Mikko Syvänne,Steffen Helqvist,Nikus Kjell,Rune Wiseth,Jens Aarøe,Mikko Puhakka,Leif Thuesen +26 more
TL;DR: Both the crush and the culotte bifurcation stenting techniques were associated with similar and excellent clinical and angiographic results and there was a trend toward less in-segment restenosis and significantly reduced in-stent restenotic following culotte stenting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Ischemic Preconditioning in Rat Myocardium
Klaus Vuorinen,Kari Ylitalo,Keijo Peuhkurinen,Pekka Raatikainen,Antti Ala-Rämi,Ilmo E. Hassinen +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that preconditioning causes inhibition of rat heart mitochondrial ATPase that persists during reperfusion so that the enzyme is inhibited from the very beginning of the sustained ischemia, which leads to sparing of high-energy phosphates and improves the time-averaged energy state during ischemIA.
