OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgical
anterior ventricular endocardial restoration (SAVER). The procedure excludes …

Aims Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity is central to the development of left ventricular
(LV) remodelling and dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We assessed the …

Despite advances in multidisciplinary acute care for myocardial infarction (MI), the clinical
need to manage heart failure and elevated mortality risks in the remote phase of MI remains …

Aims: Evidence regarding the optimal treatment of non-culprit lesions detected during
primary PCI is lacking. Our aim was to investigate whether early invasive treatment improves …

Межгрупповой анализ параметров центральной гемодинамики в процессе увеличения
размера левого желудочка (ЛЖ) показал, что изменения насосной функции сердца …

Mitral regurgitation (MR) occurs when any of the valve and ventricular mitral apparatus
components are disturbed. As MR progresses, left ventricular remodelling occurs, ultimately …

Background—Left ventricular (LV) torsion is emerging as a sensitive parameter of LV
systolic myocardial performance. The aim of the present study was to explore the effects of …

BACKGROUND: Vagal nerve stimulation (VS) has been suggested to be an effective adjunct
to reperfusion therapy in myocardial infarction (MI). However, the effect of VS on left …

Objectives: Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABC) can improve post-myocardial
infarction (MI) outcomes, but the mechanisms of such effect remain unclear. We …

LV (left ventricular) remodelling is the basic mechanism of HF (heart failure) following MI
(myocardial infarction). Although there is evidence that pro-inflammatory cytokines [including …
