The treatment of pediatric Philadelphia positive (Ph+) leukemias in the imatinib era.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: As the treatment of Philadelphia positive (Ph+) leukemias in the era of imatinib continues to evolve, the role of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allogeneic-HCT) in first remission is becoming more unclear. PROCEDURE: ... Read more...

Relationship of age and exercise performance in patients with heart failure: the HF-ACTION study.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: More than three fourths of patients with heart failure (HF) are 65 years and older, and older age is associated with worse symptoms and prognoses than is younger age. Reduced exercise capacity is a chief HF complaint and indicates poorer ... Read more...

Relationship of Doppler-Echocardiographic left ventricular diastolic function to exercise performance in systolic heart failure: the HF-ACTION study.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Patients with systolic heart failure often have concomitant left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction. Although in animal models diastolic dysfunction is associated with worsening exercise capacity and prognosis, information ... Read more...
