Bigeminism appearing during pelvic laparoscopy led to the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. It is a recently identified specific anatomical and rhythmic entity which gives rise to ventricular tachycardia in the young patient. When anti-arrhythmic drugs become inefficient,
We report a case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVD) in order to evaluate the course of an under-recognized form of cardiomyopathy with a vast array of clinical manifestations. The patient is a 49-year-old white woman transferred from an outside hospital due to
As proteins are the ultimate biological determinants of phenotype of disease, we screened altered proteins associated with heart failure due to arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) to identify biomarkers potential for rapid diagnosis of heart failure. By 2-dimensional gel
Transvenous pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation procedures are usually performed under local anesthetic, and prilocaine is the most common agent to be used. The data regarding methemoglobinemia after cardiac device implantation are scarce. Thus, presently described
Cell death can be induced by 2 different mechanisms: necrosis and apoptosis. Necrosis, on the one hand, is usually caused by unphysiological stress factors such as hyperthermia or hypoxia, apoptosis, on the other hand, is part of the normal organ development and controls for example immune
Since Kerr described programmed cell death (apoptosis) as a process distinct from necrosis, there have been many studies of apoptosis in disease, especially of immunological origin. Because cardiac myocytes are terminally differentiated cells, they have typically been assumed to die exclusively by
This thesis summarizes a series of studies performed in order to assess the clinical usefulness of a novel echocardiographic technology that allows non-invasive assessment of regional right ventricular myocardial velocities and deformation: tissue Doppler echocardiography. While the technology is a
The significance of peristenotic collateral circulation (PCC) development around a stenotic renal artery is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that PCC is linked to loss of kidney function and recovery potential in patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD). Thirty-four patients with
The aim of the present study was to determine the potential core genes in the pathogenesis of human thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) by analyzing microarray profiles of long non‑coding (lnc)‑RNAs between TAD and normal thoracic aorta (NTA). The differentially expressed lncRNA profiles of the aorta
