Efficacy of nebivolol on flow-mediated dilation in patients with slow coronary flow.

30 Aug 2009 Slow coronary flow (SCF) is the phenomenon of slow progression of angiographic contrast in the coronary arteries in the absence of stenosis in the epicardial vessels in some patients presenting with chest pain. There are no definite treatment ... Read more...

Increased mean platelet volume in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

30 Aug 2009 CONTEXT: Despite remarkable progress, the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is still challenging. OBJECTIVE: The mean platelet volume (MPV), a simple and reliable indicator of platelet size that correlates with platelet activation, might ... Read more...

Electrocardiographic abnormalities in young athletes with mitral valve prolapse.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is the most common primary valvular abnormality in a young population. In some individuals, MVP is silent or associated with palpitations, dizziness, chest pain, and abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) ... Read more...
