bradycardia/triglyceride

258 patients with pacemakers (PM) were examined retrospectively; 126 (48.8%) had second- or third-degree av-block (AVB), 43 (16.7%) atrial fibrillation with bradycardia (AFB), 63 (24.4%) sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and 26 (10.1%) other indications (OI). Control persons (CP) of same age and sex with

Two cases of triglyceride storage in liver, kidney, heart, and skeletal muscle are described in infants who died at the age of 1 1/2 years and 4 d, respectively. In the first patient, a previously normal girl, the clinical symptoms began two months before death with encephalopathy (vomiting,

Propofol formulated in a mixed medium-chain and long-chain triglycerides emulsion has been recently introduced for clinical use as an alternative to the conventional long-chain triglycerides formulation. This prospective multicentric study evaluated the clinical effectiveness and the complications

BACKGROUND Exercise Training (ET) and Grape Seed Extract (GSE) as an antioxidant have many positive effects on controlling diabetes mellitus and its complications. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the effects of GSE alone or combined with ET on body weight, plasma lipid profile, blood

Almost all beta-adrenergic blockers, regardless of their pharmacologic characteristics, appear to have blood pressure-lowering activity in hypertensive patients. Comparisons between nonselective beta-blocking agents, such as propranolol and nadolol, with beta 1-selective drugs, such as metoprolol,

The chemistry, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, and dosage of sotalol hydrochloride are reviewed. The chemical name of sotalol hydrochloride is 4'-[1-hydroxy-2-(isopropylamino)ethyl]methanesulfonanilide monohydrochloride. Sotalol is a class III antiarrhythmic that

Because one manifestation of diabetes is an enhancement of the lipolytic process, we evaluated the antilipolytic effects of adenosine A1 agonists in vitro and in vivo in streptozotocin (STZ)-treated diabetic rats. In vitro, we examined the responses to norepinephrine (NE) and adenosine deaminase

BACKGROUND The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionary conserved signal transduction pathway involved in embryonic patterning and regulation of cell fates during development and self-renewal. Recent studies have demonstrated that this pathway is integral to a complex system of interactions,

The present study was undertaken to study the effects of chronic treatment with lisinopril on the cardiovascular complications in streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic and deoxycorticosteroneacetate (DOCA) hypertensive rats. Injection of STZ produced severe glycosuria (> 2%), hyperglycemia, hypoinsulnaemia,

Previously we reported that the beneficial effects of beta-adrenergic blockade in chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) were in part due to induction of bradycardia, which obviously affects myocardial energy requirements. From this observation we hypothesized that part of the pathophysiology of MR may

UNASSIGNED Electrocardiographic changes imitating myocardial ischemia have been occasionally reported in patients with intra-abdominal pathology including acute pancreatitis. UNASSIGNED A 60-year-old man with no past medical history presented to the emergency department (ED) after a syncopal

Recently, various clinical studies have indicated that lipophilic beta-blockers reduce the coronary mortality in diabetic patients; however, systematic studies have not been reported. The objective of the present investigation was to compare the effects of chronic treatment with metoprolol and

BACKGROUND Physical activity has been considered an effective method to treat and prevent cardiovascular and metabolic disease. An important mechanism benefited by exercise training is the cardiovascular autonomic control, often impaired in cardiometabolic disease. Cycling used as a daily means of

Doxazosin, a quinazoline derivative, is a selective alpha 1-inhibitor that reduces calculated coronary heart disease risk by lowering blood pressure while favorably affecting blood lipid levels. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and toleration of doxazosin with atenolol, one of the

This investigation was undertaken to study the effects of chronic treatment with clonidine on cardiovascular complications in streptozotocin-induced diabetes and DOCA-hypertensive rats. Injection of streptozotocin induced glucosuria, hyperglycaemia, hypoinsulinaemia, hypothyroidism,
