nodeBackground: Despite numerous previous studies, the consideration of tumor location as a prognostic factor in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. The present study analyzed the association between tumor location and clinical outcome in patients with resectable NSCLC ...
Advanced AV block was found to be a significant predictor of appropriate ICD therapy. Advanced conduction disease is likely to be a surrogate marker for more extensive myocardial involvement and hence higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias.86
These patients also had lower rates of coronary artery disease and its sequelae (such as myocardial infarction or revascularization). Atrial fibrillation and chronic lung disease, although more frequent among patients with preserved LVSF, were common in both groups. Factors associated with preserved LV...
Increases in urine levels of IL-6 were significantly correlated in these heart failure patients with measures of renal impairment, such as diuretic resistance, lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (“eGFR”), and increased tissue-level renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (“RAAS”) activation. A...

The age of nulliparous women was significantly lower when compared to women with previous pregnancies (Table 1). There were no differences between the two groups regarding the ratio of probands, the family history of cardiomyopathies, HF, or ECG features. Regarding morphological abnormalities, a ...
and cardiorespiratory performance after an exercise training program. Several studies have already shown that physical activity improves the clinical condition of patients with a single ventricle. More specifically, some studies have shown that the skeletal muscle pump of the lower limbs improves the ...
The heart surgery was performed after systemic heparinization (400 IU/kg; heparin sodium 25,000, Ratiopharm, Ulm, Germany) using a heart–lung machine (Stöckert S3, Sorin Group Germany GmbH, Munich) at a body temperature of 28 °C. The cannulation was placed in the carotid artery and ...

We identified a 6-ion channel-gene signature (CACNA1C, CACNA2D2, CACNB2, KCNJ11, SCN3A, and SCN3B) associated with the side: L-tumors exhibit lower expression levels than R-tumors. Additionally, in silico analyses show that the signature correlates inversely with DNA methylation writers and...
