A modification of the Ross procedure to prevent pulmonary autograft dilatation.

15 Apr 2009 We present our initial experience in 10 patients operated on using a modified Ross operation. In our modification of the Ross operation the pulmonary autograft root was inserted in the Gelweave Valsalva graft to prevent dilatation of the neoaortic ... Read more...

Cyproheptadine prevents pergolide-induced valvulopathy in rats: an echocardiographic and histopathological study.

Apr 2009 Serotonergic drugs, such as pergolide, have been associated with the development of cardiac valvular myxoid thickening and regurgitation in humans and more recently in rats. These effects are potentially mediated by the 5-hydroxytryptamine ... Read more...

Exercise training and cardiac rehabilitation in primary and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease.

30 Mar 2009 Substantial data have established a sedentary lifestyle as a major modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Increased levels of physical activity, exercise training, and overall cardiorespiratory fitness have provided protection in ... Read more...
