  2019-06-26

  

  HBV DNA levels are associated with clinically significant pathological events, such as cirrhosis; therefore, changes in the serum levels of HBV DNA could determine a risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. For on-treatment follow-up, HBeAg loss/seroconversion is important during the nucleoside therapy fo

  Material and methods Results Discussion The present study provides clinical, molecular, and in vitro electro-physiological evidence that a rare SNP (KCNE1-D85N) can act as a genetic modifier in LQTS. In general, SNPs are thought to be non-pathological, but some have been reported to modify

  Diagnostic criteria Brugada syndrome is definitively diagnosed when a type-1 ST-segment elevation is observed in at least 1 right precordial lead (V1 and V2) [23], placed in a standard or a superior position (up to the second intercostal space) (Fig. 1C) [24,25], in the presence or absence of a s

  Letsas et al. reported that the prevalence of Brugada-type ECG was 0.34% in men and 0.04% in women in the Greek population [19]. Despite the similar BS gender differences between the Greeks and the Japanese, many multicenter studies performed in Western countries indicated that the frequency of men

  Conflict of interest Acknowledgment Introduction Several investigators recently showed that the superior vena cava (SVC) was one of the major foci for initiating atrial tachyarrhythmias, such as atrial tachycardia (AT) and atrial fibrillation (AF) [1–4]. Conduction block between the atrium

  Bisphosphonates are a well-established, standard-of care treatment option to reduce the frequency and severity and time of onset of the skeletal related events (SREs) in patients with bone metastases due to either solid tumours or multiple myeloma [21–33]. From many years, BPs have been incorporated

  2019-06-26

  

  The ability of tumors to progress to more malignant phenotypes depends on tumor microenvironment. Blood capillaries, made up of endothelial cells, are usually static under physiological conditions but are induced to proliferate by direct exposure to angiogenic factors, for instance, vascular endothe

  2019-06-26

  

  Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most clinically prevalent tachyarrhythmia [1,2]. AF is a potential risk factor for stroke, and AF-associated strokes are often severe, resulting in disability or death [3–6]. Anticoagulant therapy with the vitamin K antagonist warfarin reduces the risk

  More recently, Brugada et al. [131]. used flecainide to identify the full extent of low-voltage electrogram activity in the anterior RV and RVOT and targeted this region for RFA. In all 14 BrS patients, RFA eliminated abnormal bipolar electrograms, normalized ST-segment elevation on right precordial

  The IntellaTip Mifi catheter has been shown to delineate local electograms better in the isthmus than the conventional bipolar electrode during atrial flutter ablation. The signal amplitude in the mini-electrodes has been noted to be higher than that of the conventional bipolar catheter. This has en

  The indications for epicardial mapping are institutionally variable but typically performed after a failed endocardial approach or if the etiology of cardiomyopathy suggests a high likelihood of epicardial scar (Fig. 9). Studies of patients with NICM that underwent combined epicardial–endocardial ap

  Introduction Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with low ventricular function remains a substantial problem despite improved medical therapies [1–3]. Many patients require antiarrhythmic drugs to prevent recurrent arrhythmias and reduce the number of shocks from implanted cardioverter-defibri

  Limitations of meta-analyses are often based on the strength of the data available. Only 26% of the eligible studies were judged to be at low risk of overall bias in this analysis. Other studies may have been at low risk for bias but failed to report information necessary for this determination. All

  By GBD region, in the past two decades, the largest increases in incidence of ischaemic stroke were in eastern Europe, central and east Asia, north and sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East (figure 1), with the largest increase (22%) noted in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
