Atrioventricular delay optimization by doppler-derived left ventricular dP/dt improves 6-month outcome of resynchronized patients.

TL;DR: This work has shown that the maximum left ventricular pressure derivative (LV dP/dt)—an index of cardiac performance—could provide a clue for AV optimization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dipyridamole-echocardiography test in angina at rest: noninvasive assessment of coronary stenosis underlying spasm.

TL;DR: In the population of patients with angina at rest (in whom an important functional component is also likely to be present during exercise), DET was significantly less sensitive but significantly more specific than EST in detecting coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The current role of cardiac resynchronization therapy in reducing mortality and hospitalization in heart failure patients: a meta-analysis from clinical trials

TL;DR: A meta-analysis showed that patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators alone and ICD+CRT had a significant reduction of worsening HF hospitalization rate compared to no CRT-no ICD patients, and among patients with ICDs, CRT showed a slight effect on all-cause mortality reduction but no clear impact on worsening HF rehospitalization.
