Background. The coexistence of neoplasm and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) presents a real management challenge. This paper reviews the literature on the prevalence, diagnosis, and management dilemmas of concurrent visceral malignancy and ...
Short-term effects of screening for cardiovascular risk in the deaf community: a pilot study [0.03%]
聋人社区心血管风险筛查的短期效果：一项试点研究

There is limited information on the risk of cardiovascular disease amongst the Deaf community. Given that the access of Deaf people to mainstream health promotion is likely to be hindered by language barriers, we were interested to assess t...
Achievement of right ventricular pacing by use of a long guiding catheter in a hemodialysis patient presenting significant tortuosity of vasculature [0.03%]
经皮血管迂曲透析患者右室起搏电极植入术中长鞘的应用
Polychronis Dilaveris,Skevos Sideris,Sofia Vaina et al.
Polychronis Dilaveris et al.
Increased vascular calcification and tortuosity are rather common in end-stage renal failure patients who are on hemodialysis. It renders manipulation of catheters and performance of percutaneous transluminal interventions more difficult th...
Efficiency and safety of prolonged levosimendan infusion in patients with acute heart failure [0.03%]
长期左西孟丹输液治疗急性心力衰竭患者的疗效和安全性研究

Compared with bare-metal stents, drug-eluting stents (DES) have greatly reduced the risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR) by inhibiting neointimal growth. Nevertheless, DES are still prone to device failure, which may lead to cardiac events. Re...
Impact of cardiac computed tomographic angiography findings on planning of cancer therapy in patients with concomitant structural heart disease [0.03%]
冠状Computed tomographic angiography对合并结构性心脏病癌症患者的治疗计划的影响

Iyad N Daher et al.
Background. Exclusion of underlying coronary artery disease (CAD) is essential in the diagnosis of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy. Presence and severity of CAD can also impact the choice of therapy in cancer patients. The value of card...
Rate control in atrial fibrillation by cooling: effect of temperature on dromotropy in perfused rabbit hearts [0.03%]
兔灌注心脏中降温对房颤心率控制的影响及温度对房室传导的影响
Karl Mischke,Markus Zarse,Christian Knackstedt et al.
Karl Mischke et al.
Background. Cooling has emerged as a therapeutic option in critically ill patients (especially after cardiac resuscitation) and might also have a negative dromotropic effect in atrial fibrillation. We sought to determine the impact of cooli...
