Implantation of the melody transcatheter pulmonary valve in patients with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract conduit early results from the u.s. Clinical trial.

25 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the safety, procedural success, and short-term effectiveness of the Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota) in patients with dysfunctional right ventricular ... Read more...

Natural history of markers of collagen turnover in patients with early diastolic dysfunction and impact of eplerenone.

25 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the impact of eplerenone on collagen turnover in preserved systolic function heart failure (HFPSF). BACKGROUND: Despite growing interest in abnormal collagen metabolism as a feature of HFPSF with ... Read more...

Late cardiovascular complications after surgical or balloon angioplasty of coarctation of aorta in an Asian cohort.

13 Oct 2009 Late cardiovascular complications after intervention for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) might be common. Such data, especially in Asian populations, are still limited. A total of 169 patients with CoA who survived balloon (n = 41) or surgical (n = ... Read more...
