1. MIDCAB procedure introduction 1. Surgery preparation: General anesthesia, double lumen tracheal intubation. In the supine position, tilt 15° to the right. An automatic defibrillation electrode is attached to the right front and left rear chest wall, and the external defibrillator is connected. A

Ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Immediate treatment can play a major role in the outcome of ischemic stroke and can help improve prognosis in many cases. One of the factors effecting immediate treatment is a

Aim: The aim of the EPOXY-IMR trial is to evaluate the effect of supplemental oxygen on coronary circulation in the setting of elective coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). To achieve this, different functional parameters such as the index of microcirculatory resistance

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a disease of middle and advanced age. Most of the present knowledge of infarction is derived from studies in this older cohort of patients. In fact, some clinical studies of patients with chest pain have excluded individuals under 40 years of age Although thrombolytic

Patients undergoing for aortic valve replacement will be enrolled in the study after giving the signed informed consent and will be divided in two groups depending on the type of the surgical technique. Either full sternotomy (FS) or minimal invasive sternotomy (MIS) will be performed, both with the

This study aimed to establish vascular disease early detection system and scoring systems by comprehensive vascular disease risk factors and vascular function evaluation index. And prevention of vascular-related diseases, high-risk groups through positive lifestyle changes: such as lipid-lowering,

Intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are relatively uncommon but increasingly discovered lesions that can lead to significant neurological disability or death.1 Population-based data suggest that the annual incidence of discovery of a symptomatic AVM is approximately 1.1 per 100 000

The research question is: How does CYP2C9 genotype modify warfarin drug interactions? People differ in their genetic makeup. This includes differences in genes involved in drug metabolism, transport, and effect in the body. People with certain genetic profiles produce altered enzymes, transporters,

PURPOSE OF STUDY Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the U.S., accounting for over one third of deaths. Of these, coronary heart disease (CHD) accounts for the greatest proportion of morbidity and mortality with an estimated 770,000 Americans having a first myocardial

Nearly one million Americans died of CVD in 1999, and it is predicted that, over one million Americans will have a myocardial infarction (MI) with 650,000 of these experiencing their first MI. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality in the U.S., accounting for 1 of every 5

Fifty-seven obese patients at the Philadelphia VAMC (BMI between 30-40) will be randomly assigned to one of three conditions: weight monitoring only (WM), deposit contract incentive (DC$+WM), or lottery-based incentive (L$+WM). Exclusion criteria for the study will be minimal to maximize

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) effectively relieves angina, results in longer survival, and a better quality of life in specific subgroups of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. Due to the high incidence of coronary artery disease worldwide, as well as the effectiveness of the

The stroke or brain attack is one of the main health problems in developed countries. It is the third cause for death and the main cause of disability in adults. Cerebral infarction makes up 80 % of all the types of strokes. After a stroke, different evolutions and outcomes can be observed, and

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) effectively relieves angina, results in longer survival, and a better quality of life in specific subgroups of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. Due to the high incidence of coronary artery disease worldwide, as well as the effectiveness of the
