Elevated Plasma Homocysteine Concentration in Opium-Addicted Individuals
Background: Although the triggering role of both opium use and elevated plasma homocysteine level for progressing atherosclerosis and, therefore, appearing coronary heart disease has been clearly determined, no study are available with respect to the relation between these to risk profiles. In the present study and for the first time, we hypothesized that the opium addiction can be potentially ...
متن کاملAssociation Between Left Atrial Stiffness Index and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence in Patients Undergoing Left Atrial Ablation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with significant abnormalities of left atrial (LA) systolic and diastolic function. This study describes a novel measure, LA stiffness index, that estimates LA diastolic function and its association with clinical outcomes of catheter ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 219 AF patients referred for ablation (59% paroxysmal, mean CHA2DS2VAS...
متن کاملModulation of Plasma Aldosterone Concentration
cant correlation between plasma aldosterone and plasma potassium concentration (r = +0.74, P < 0.001) and between changes in the concentration of plasma aldosterone occurring in individual patients and the corresponding changes in plasma potassium concentration (r = +0.52, P < 0.01). There was no significant change in plasma sodium concentration, and plasma corticoid concentration, which was mo...
متن کاملAssociation of antithrombin activity with plasma aldosterone concentration and plasma renin activity in pregnant women.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the blood antithrombin (AT) activity is correlated with the plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), the plasma renin activity (PRA), and/or the PAC-to-PRA ratio during the late stage of pregnancy. METHODS The AT activity, PAC, and PRA were determined within 7 days prior to delivery in 47 women, consisting of 30 normotensive and 6 hypertensive women with s...
متن کاملImpact of mild hypertension on left atrial size and function.
BACKGROUND Left atrial (LA) enlargement has been documented to occur in moderate and severe hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred twelve mild hypertension patients were prospectively recruited and compared with 198 healthy volunteers. All recruits had a transthoracic echocardiogram. Maximum LA biplane volume, minimum LA biplane volume, and pre 'p'-LA biplane volume were measured, and ...
