One of the principle aims in the assessment of the patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is assessment of risk for sudden cardiac death. Conventional risk stratification is reviewed together with other non-invasive techniques such as exercise physiology; the signal averaged electrocardiogram and heart rate variability. The role of arrhythmias in the pathogenesis of sudden cardiac death in hy...

1024x768 normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background : carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is the most prevalent form of peripheral neuropathy. the efficacy of acupuncture in management of mild to moderate cts has been investigated in limited studies with controversial results. the aim of this study was to assess the short-term effects of acupuncture in treatment of mild to moderate carpal t...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic right ventricular arrhythmias (IRVA) are responsive to medical and ablative treatment and have a benign prognosis. Arrhythmias caused by right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) are refractory to treatment and may cause sudden death. It is difficult to distinguish between these two types of arrhythmia. OBJECTIVE To differentiate patients with IRVA and ARVD by a conventional el...

Introduction In corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA), the presence of 2 atrioventricular nodes (twin AVNs), their Purkinje systems, and a specific conduction system (Mönckeberg sling) connecting them to each other has been demonstrated using histologic and electrophysiological techniques.. Twin AVNs can induce supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) as a preoperative, perioperative, ...

Background: Idiopathic right ventricular arrhythmias (IRVA) are responsive to medical and ablative treatment and have a benign prognosis. Arrhythmias caused by right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) are refractory to treatment and may cause sudden death. It is difficult to distinguish between these two types of arrhythmia. Objective: To differentiate patients with IRVA and ARVD by a conventional el...

Seventy days after complete spinal cord transection, both treated and untreated rats showed evidence that some corticospinal axons had regenerated. Rats made immunologically unresponsive to CNS tissue showed no increase in corticospinal regeneration as measured by orthograde axoplasmic flow of tritated proline or retrograde axoplasmic labelling with horeseradish peroxidase. However, treated rat...
