Repeated short episodes of coronary occlusion in experimental animals, and in humans during balloon angioplasty, cause myocardial preconditioning. This study examines whether myocardial ischemia… (More)
This is the first report of the successful use of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) in 3 consecutive patients with torsades de pointes (TdP). In 1 patient, TdP was induced by a combination of quinidine and… (More)
Continuous 24-hour recordings of the electrocardiogram during everyday activities were obtained in 8o subjects with praecordial symptoms, who had normal 12-lead resting electrocardiograms and… (More)
The effect of supine physical exercise on cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured in 30 normal subjects with the 133Xe inhalation technique. The CBF measurements were correlated to changes in PCO2,… (More)
Fifty patients with precordial pain were evaluated by 24 hour ambulatory ECG monitoring during normal everyday activities, and by coronary arteriography. The monitoring was regarded as positive if… (More)
A series of 198 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction were prospectively studied before hospital discharge and during 24.0 +/- 8.6 months of follow-up. A predischarge thrombus was… (More)
This study assessed the prognostic significance of ischemic changes during daily activity as recorded by ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring in a group of 224 low-risk postinfarction patients.… (More)
