Journal ArticleDOI

Use of therapeutic ultrasound in percutaneous coronary angioplasty. Experimental in vitro studies and initial clinical experience.

TL;DR: It is suggested that catheter-delivered high-intensity, low-frequency ultrasound may be useful for lesion debulking and enhancing arterial distensibility, allowing balloon dilation at relatively low pressures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravenous immunoglobulin treatment for acute fulminant inflammatory cardiomyopathy: series of six patients and review of literature.

TL;DR: Therapy with intravenous high-dose IVIG may be a potentially useful treatment in selected patients if given early in the course of acute fulminant inflammatory DCM, and a randomized, prospective trial is warranted to prove the real benefit of IVIG in this patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-Invasive Resting Magnetocardiographic Imaging for the Rapid Detection of Ischemia in Subjects Presenting with Chest Pain

TL;DR: MCG is a new rapid, non-invasive imaging tool able to detect repolarization abnormalities at rest consistent with ischemia in patients presenting with chest pain syndrome and normal or non-specific 12-lead ECG and normal troponin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Intense Exercise and Moderate Caloric Restriction on Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Inflammation

TL;DR: In morbidly obese individuals, intense exercise with moderate caloric restriction over 7 months is associated with a dramatic improvement in carotid vascular function and atherosclerosis risk factors, as well as a reduction in inflammatory biomarkers, lipids, insulin resistance, and CIMT.
