Journal ArticleDOI
Angiogenic-induced enhancement of collateral blood flow to ischemic myocardium by vascular endothelial growth factor in dogs.
Shmuel Banai,Michael T. Jaklitsch,Matie Shou,Daisy F. Lazarous,Mickey Scheinowitz,S. Biro,S E Epstein,Ellis F. Unger +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that intracoronary VEGF enhances the development of small coronary arteries supplying ischemic myocardium, resulting in marked augmentation of maximal collateral blood flow delivery and suggests a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of myocardial ischemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of torsade de pointes with magnesium sulfate.
Dan Tzivoni,Shmuel Banai,Claudio Schuger,Jesaia Benhorin,Andre Keren,Shmuel Gottlieb,Shlomo Stern +6 more
TL;DR: MgSO4 is a very effective and safe treatment for TdP, and its use is therefore recommended as the first line of therapy for TDP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression induced by myocardial ischaemia: implications for coronary angiogenesis.
TL;DR: VEGF production in the myocardium is significantly upregulated by hypoxia in vitro and by ischaemia in vivo, suggesting that VEGF is a likely mediator in the natural process of ischaemic induced myocardial neovascularisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basic fibroblast growth factor enhances myocardial collateral flow in a canine model
Ellis F. Unger,Shmuel Banai,Matie Shou,Daisy F. Lazarous,Michael T. Jaklitsch,Mickey Scheinowitz,R. Correa,C. Klingbeil,S E Epstein +8 more
TL;DR: Exogenous administration of basic FGF enhances maximal collateral blood flow in dogs with myocardial ischemia secondary to single-vessel coronary occlusion, an effect that is likely mediated through the direct angiogenic effects of the peptide, although its acute vasodilatory effects may also play a role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic significance of ischemic episodes in patients with previous myocardial infarction.
Dan Tzivoni,Dan Tzivoni,Alex Gavish,Alex Gavish,Dan Zin,Dan Zin,Shmuel Gottlieb,Shmuel Gottlieb,Mady Moriel,Mady Moriel,Andre Keren,Andre Keren,Shmuel Banai,Shmuel Banai,Shlomo Stern,Shlomo Stern +15 more
TL;DR: Among patients with good or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, those with transient ST depression on Holter had a significantly higher cardiac event rate compared with those without it and a similar event rate was found in patients with only silent, only symptomatic and with silent and symptomatic ischemic episodes.
