The European Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Survey
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-10-20)Aims: The European Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Survey was a joint initiative taken by the Heart Failure (HFA) and the European Heart Rhythm (EHRA) Associations of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) designed ... -
High-intensity Interval Training after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. A randomized controlled study evaluating the effect of exercise training on late luminal loss with relationship to inflammation and endothelial function
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-10-22)Introduction: In spite of consistent scientific documentation of the beneficial effects of exercise training programs in coronary artery disease (CAD), exercise training is a remarkably underutilized (1) and probably also ... -
Low Levels of the Omega-3 Index are Associated with Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Remain Stable in Survivors in the Subacute Phase
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-14)In previous studies, low blood levels of n-3 fatty acids (FA) have been associated with increased risk of cardiac death, and the omega-3 index (red blood cell (RBC) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ... -
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level at longterm follow-up after atrial fibrillation ablation: A marker of reverse atrial remodeling and successful ablation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-10-13)Aims: We investigated the relationship between arrhythmia burden, left atrial volume (LAV) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) at baseline and after long-term follow-up of atrial fibrillation (AF) ... -
Prevention of Hypertension and Organ Damage in 2-Kidney, 1-Clip Rats by Tetradecylthioacetic Acid
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-07-17)Dietary lipids are reported to affect the blood pressure in both humans and experimental animal models with hypertension. In the present study, 2-kidney, 1-clip (2K1C) hypertensive rats were treated with the modified fatty ... -
Progression of renal disease. Pathogenetic aspects and treatment options

Radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation. Clinical results and studies of mechanisms
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-09-30)Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of sustained cardiac arrhythmia. AF requires a trigger that initiates the arrhythmia, and the presence of a predisposing substrate that perpetuates it. ... -
Remote magnetic versus manual catheters: evaluation of ablation effect in atrial fibrillation by myocardial marker levels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-08)Background A remote magnetic navigation (MN) system is available for radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), challenging the conventional manual ablation technique. The myocardial markers were measured to ...
