TL;DR: The CLEVER-ACS trial as discussed by the authors was designed to test the efficacy and safety of broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory therapy with a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor to reduce infarct size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential new indications and future studies.
TL;DR: Experimental and clinical studies suggest that renal denervation therapy is an effective and safe treatment for patients with therapy-resistant hypertension leading to a reduction in blood pressure and in systemic and renal sympathetic nervous activation, which plays an important role in the development, progression and prognosis of arterial hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Device therapy in cardiac disease: a success story.
TL;DR: This issue begins with a timely Clinical Review entitled ‘ Infected cardiac implanted electronic devices: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment ’ by Jens Cosedis Nielsen from the Aarhus University Hospital, Skejby, Denmark, and identifies important current practice aspects for future development.
Journal Article
Clinical evaluation of semiautomatic blood pressure devices for self-recording.
TL;DR: Sixteen semiautomatic blood pressure devices for self-recording were compared with a Hawksley random zero sphygmomanometer using three criteria for determination of accuracy: correlation analysis; mean differences; standard deviation of mean differences.
Acute effects of 17 beta-oestradiol on functional activity of endothelin-converting enzymes in human
TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that short-term exposure to 17 beta-oestradiol affects functional enzyme activity (FEA) of endothelin-converting enzymes in vitro using human internal mammary arteries and human saphenous veins obtained from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
