As technology advances, PFA has the potential to significantly improve the safety and efficacy of AFib ablation treatments, making them accessible to a broader range of patients. What is the Watchman device and how does it help patients with AFib? The Watchman device is an innovative implant desi...
In a community-based registry of HF patients (the COHERE [Carvedilol Heart Failure Registry] study), the benefit of carvedilol therapy was less, with a 6% mortality reduction for patients with an LVEF >40% (41). In this registry, the mortality reduction did not differ across the range of ...
Infants and children have much higher heart rates than adults. During your teens, heart rates tend to settle into the range of 60-100 beats per minute, which is normal for adults. (Photo Credit: iStock/Getty Images) Put the tips of your index and middle fingers on yourskin. Press lightl...
Viability, fertility, and a range of histological, hematological, serum--chemical, and immunological parameters were not abnormal in mdr1a/1b (-/-) mice. The high level of mdr1b P-gp normally present in the pregnant uterus did not protect fetuses from a drug (digoxin) in the bloodstream ...
For example, a reference range for glucose by age-group and sex should be determined in a corresponding population of people who do not have comorbidities related to diabetes. A main goal in determining reference ranges is to identify laboratory test values that distinguish between patients with ...
Plasma renin activity levels in hypertensive persons: their wide range and lack of suppression in diabetic and in most elderly patients The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) maintains hemodynamic integrity by modulating both volume and vasoconstriction through a cybernetic feedback control mec...

This range is not a confidence interval, but rather describes unexplained cluster variation in terms of odds ratios relative to a median cluster, as clusters range across their distribution. The 95% REM range can be thought of as analogous to the ‘95% rule’ for normal distributions, ...
Viability, fertility, and a range of histological, hematological, and serum-chemical parameters were similar in Mrp (+/+) and Mrp (-/-) mice. However, Mrp1 (-/-) mice are hypersensitive to exposure to several drugs e.g. etoposide, resulting in loss of body weight and death [56, 67,...
(e.g., osteoarthritis); impaired gait, balance or walking ability stemming from cerebrovascular disease, degenerative disorders of the central nervous system, or peripheral vascular disease; fatigue or weakness due to a range of systemic illnesses or increasing frailty; and poor exercise conditioning,...
As a result of the heterogeneous nature of the pathophysiologic processes and comorbid illnesses in this population, there is a wide range of clinical outcomes. Accordingly, appreciation of the global nature of HFNEF ideally will better inform optimal design for future diagnostic and therapeutic ...
