Journal ArticleDOI
The correlation between symptomatic CMV infection and CMV antigenemia in heart allograft recipients.
TL;DR: High antigenemia levels (>100/50,000) correlate with clinical manifestations of CMV infection, and Quantitative monitoring ofCMV antigenemia may, thus, be helpful in the clinical diagnosis of CMVs infection in heart transplant patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of acute alcohol ingestion on heart rate variability in patients with documented coronary artery disease and stable angina pectoris
Juhani Rossinen,Matti Viitasalo,Juhani Partanen,Pekka Koskinen,Markku Kupari,Markku S. Nieminen +5 more
TL;DR: In the frequency domain analysis, the high-, low-, and very low frequency components were significantly decreased after alcohol: these changes last longer than the elimination of alcohol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel mutations in the lamin A/C gene in heart transplant recipients with end stage dilated cardiomyopathy.
Satu Kärkkäinen,Eeva Reissell,Tiina Heliö,Maija Kaartinen,Petri Tuomainen,Lauri Toivonen,Johanna Kuusisto,Markku Kupari,Markku S. Nieminen,Markku Laakso,Keijo Peuhkurinen +10 more
TL;DR: This study investigates a homogeneous group of consecutive Finnish heart transplant recipients with end stage DCM and searches for mutations in the lamin A/C gene, which is known to be important aetiological factors in familial DCM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regression of electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy predicts regression of echocardiographic left ventricular mass: the LIFE study.
Peter M. Okin,Richard B. Devereux,Jennifer E. Liu,Lasse Oikarinen,Sverker Jern,S E Kjeldsen,Stevo Julius,Kristian Wachtell,Markku S. Nieminen,Björn Dahlöf +9 more
TL;DR: Patients with no significant decrease and patients with regression of ECG LVH had stepwise greater absolute decreases in LV mass and were more likely to decrease LV mass, even after adjusting for possible effects of baseline and change in systolic and diastolic pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipopolysaccharide, a possible molecular mediator between periodontitis and coronary artery disease
John M. Liljestrand,Susanna Paju,Kåre Buhlin,Kåre Buhlin,G. Rutger Persson,Seppo Sarna,Markku S. Nieminen,Juha Sinisalo,Päivi Mäntylä,Pirkko J. Pussinen +9 more
TL;DR: In particular in periodontitis patients, subgingival microbial burden contributes to endotoxemia, suggesting LPS is a possible molecular mediator betweenperiodontitis and CAD.
