Nutritional supplementation with MyoVive repletes essential cardiac myocyte nutrients and reduces left ventricular size in patients with left ventricular dysfunction

TL;DR: Feeding patients a nutritional supplement that contained carnitine, CoQ10, and taurine would result in higher myocardial levels of these nutrients and improve left ventricular function and is associated with a reduction inleft ventricular end-diastolic volume in patients with left Ventricular dysfunction before revascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Factors influencing patient knowledge of warfarin therapy after mechanical heart valve replacement.

TL;DR: The findings support the need to develop a comprehensive postdischarge education program or at least to ensure that patients have access to a community counselor to compliment the in-hospital education program.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of patient-controlled sedation using either remifentanil or remifentanil-propofol for shock wave lithotripsy.

TL;DR: Patient-controlled sedation has been used for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) because it allows for rapid individualized titration of anesthetics, and the addition of propofol to remifentanil may improve patient tolerance of SWL with PCS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preoperative carbohydrate loading in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass or spinal surgery

TL;DR: In this article, consumption of an oral carbohydrate supplement before surgery may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce hyperglycemia, which may contribute to the development of hyper glycemia and subsequently, postoperative complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional supplementation with MyoVive® repletes essential cardiac myocyte nutrients and reduces left ventricular size in patients with left ventricular dysfunction

TL;DR: Supporting patients with a nutritional supplement that contained carnitine, CoQ10, and taurine would result in higher myocardial levels of these nutrients and improve left ventricular function and the risk of death for surgical revascularization is related to preoperativeleft ventricular end-diastolic volume.
