atropine/infarction

All patients will be visited by a member of our team a day prior to surgery to seek an informed consent and to answer any questions. A set of laboratory results (see below) will be sought. A test (Mini Mental test) will be performed to evaluate patients' cognitive functions. Our patients are

DEFINITIONS ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION Arterial Blood Pressure (ABP) is a complex physiological variable in regard to its measure, behavior between BP taken in the same visit at the office and between these and ABPM, chronobiology (different day time BP levels), evolution in time,

Patients will be followed by a blinded investigator for a 7days period to record the development of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary complications defined by a broad composite that included all-cause mortality, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, new atrial or

Background: Both DSE and DCMR are implemented in the daily diagnostic work-up of patients with ischemic heart disease. Although DCMR was previously shown to aid the diagnostic classification of patients with suspected CAD with higher sensitivity and accuracy compared to that provided by DSE, the

Muscle relaxants are integral part of modern anesthesia. They optimize intubating conditions, reduce laryngeal trauma and improve operating conditions. Drawback is a possible pharmacological (muscle relaxing) effect of these drugs beyond the end of the operation (i.e. post-operative residual

Background: High-dose dobutamine stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (DS-MRI) is incorporated in daily clinical practice for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). Purpose: To determine the value of wall motion and perfusion assessment during DS-MRI for the prediction of cardiac
