Results Patients of HCM with restrictive phenotype have more severe clinical symptoms including sustained artrial fibrillation, pericardial effusion, and worse heart function classifications compared with controls; The left and right atrium diameter were 55.79 ± 5.34 mm and 61.33 ± 11.05 mm on MR, which were significantly greater than the controls (p < 0.001); The segments with late gadolinium ...

We here present the case of a 35-year-old man with mitral valve paravalvular abnormal tunnel with mitral regurgitation caused by anterior chest trauma. The abnormal tunnel is between left ventricular and left artrial. We sutured the tunnel with a patch from the left atrial side. Meanwhile, we performed the mitral valve annuoplasty because of the mitral regurgitation accompanied. The postoperati...

objective: alpha-synuclein is a major component of protein plaques in synucleinopathies, particularly parkinson’s disease. the purpose of this study is to assess the inhibitory effects of cuminaldehyde on the fibrillation of alpha-synuclein. methods: alpha-synuclein was expressed in escherichia coli and subsequently purified. for the process of fibrillation, purified protein was incubated at 3...

We describe the successful surgical repair of an acute aortic dissection that had caused an aorto-right atrial fistula in a 67-year-old man. The patient was admitted to the hospital on an emergency basis because of severe heart failure. The diagnosis of acute aortic dissection with rupture into the right atrium was confirmed by use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, although ru...

Some patients with severe angina have coronary artery disease which is unsuitable for conventional forms of revascularization — coronary angioplasty/ stenting or coronary artery bypass surgery. These patients have usually undergone previous revascularization procedures and have disease which is diffuse and affects the distal part of the coronary circulation. Transmyocardial laser revascularizat...
