question:
Context: Noninvasive pacemaker stress echocardiography is a newly introduced method for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in patients with a permanent pacemaker. The prognostic value of pacemaker stress echocardiography has not been studied.', 'We studied 136 patients (mean age 64+/-12 years) with a permanent pacemaker who underwent pacemaker stress echocardiography for evaluation of coronary artery disease. All patients underwent pacemaker stress echocardiography by external programming (pacing heart rate up to ischemia or target heart rate).', 'Thirty-one patients (23%) had normal study results. Ischemia was detected in 75 patients (55%). During a mean follow-up of 3.5+/-2.4 years, 35 deaths (26%) (20 the result of cardiac causes) and 2 nonfatal myocardial infarctions (1%) occurred. The annual cardiac death rate was 1.3% in patients without ischemia and 4.6% in patients with ischemia (P=.01). The annual all-cause mortality rate was 3.1% in patients without ischemia and 7% in patients with ischemia (P=.004). The presence of ischemia during pacemaker stress echocardiography was the strongest independent predictor of cardiac death (hazard ratio 4.1, confidence interval 1.2-14.5) and all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 2.7, confidence interval 1.2-6.0) in a multivariable model.
Answer: Myocardial ischemia during pacemaker stress echocardiography is an independent predictor of cardiac death and all-cause mortality in patients with a permanent pacemaker.
answer:
Does pacemaker stress echocardiography predict cardiac events in patients with permanent pacemaker?

question:
Context: Almost all the past CSWT studies show the beneficial effects on CAD patients in a maximum duration of 1-year follow-up. The aim of this study was to evaluate the actual CSWT effects in 6 years follow-up period.', 'The subjects were selected exclusively on the basis of inclusion criteria. The total number of patients was 52, out of which control group (n = 11) and the shock wave group (SW group, n = 41) was selected.', 'The wall motion, MPI, nitrate dosage, NYHA classification, SAQ scores, CCS grading, 6 MWT were markedly improved in the long-term (6 years) follow-up for SW group than the control group.
Answer: Following 6 years of follow-up, the CSWT provided agreeable results that improved myocardial function and quality of life in comparing to the month 0 and the control group. These outcomes advise that on a long-term (72 months) CSWT shows better parameters than the control group. These findings highlight that CSWT can improve clinical symptoms, morphology, functions of the heart and quality of life in patients with CHD than the patients just on drug therapy for a long-term.
answer:
Does cardiac shock wave therapy show better outcomes in the coronary artery disease patients in a long term?

question:
Context: Basic Fibroblastic Growth Factor (bFGF) is a powerful mitogen for smooth muscle cells and has been implicated in the genesis of Myointimal hyperplasia. The aim of this study was to determine the release of bFGF by veins in different haemodynamic conditions.', 'Laboratory animal study.', 'In 39 Lewis rats, a 1 cm long segment of inferior vena cava was inserted at the level of the abdominal aorta. The segments of inferior vena cava were obtained from syngenic Lewis rats. Arterial Vein Grafts (AVG) were harvested after 4 weeks (AVG 4) and 12 weeks (AVG 12). In 16 animals the arterial vein grafts were explanted 4 weeks after the initial operation and reimplanted (Reimplanted Vein Grafts: RVG) in syngenic Lewis rats as venous-venous bypass grafts at the level of the left iliac vein and harvested after 2 weeks (RVG 2) and 8 weeks (AVG 8).', 'The tissue was studied in organ culture in a serum-free system for (1) release of bFGF (immunoassay) and (2) mitogenic activity of the conditioned media. Scanning electron and light microscopy studies were also performed.', 'bFGF release by veins increased significantly (p < 0.01) when veins were inserted in the arterial circulation, and decreased significantly (p < 0.01) when grafts were reimplanted in the venous system. bFGF release (ng/cm2): [Formula: see text]
Answer: Vein inserted in the arterial circulation release a higher quantity of bFGF. This could explain in part, the formation of myointimal hyperplasia in arterial vein graft.
answer:
Is bFGF release dependent on flow conditions in experimental vein grafts?
