The insertion/deletion(I/D) polymorphism in the ACE gene and the A1166C polymorphism in the AT1R gene have been associated with left ventricular remodelling and prognosis after acute myocardial infarction(AMI). We inv...
Forty-three patients with cardiac sarcoidosis were studied echocardiographically before and after(mean follow-up 88 months)steroid therapy to determine the effectiveness of corticosteroids to prevent left ventricular(...
Background: Post-stress ejection fraction (EF), end-dia-stolic (EDV) and en d-systolic (ESV) volumes by gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) are well val idated, reproducible and of prognostic significance. However,...
Background Endothelin-receptor blockade provides haemodynamic benefit in expe rimental and clinical heart failure. We aimed to measure the effects of long-te rm endothelin-blockade on left-ventricular (LV) remodelling...
