BACKGROUND
Irradiation after mastectomy can reduce locoregional recurrences in women with breast cancer, but whether it prolongs survival remains controversial. We conducted a randomized trial of… (More)
BACKGROUND
In patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and a history of myocardial infarction, intervention with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) can prevent sudden cardiac death and… (More)
We identified the alpha-cardiac actin gene (ACTC) as a novel disease gene in a pedigree suffering from familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC). Linkage analyses excluded all the previously… (More)
BACKGROUND
Postmastectomy radiotherapy is associated with a lower locoregional recurrence rate and improved disease-free and overall survival when combined with chemotherapy in premenopausal… (More)
BACKGROUND
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by means of simultaneous biventricular pacing improves left ventricular systolic performance and synchrony in patients with heart failure and… (More)
OBJECTIVES
This study was designed to assess the prevalence and clinical significance of exaggerated nonculprit lesion stenosis in the setting of acute (<12 h) myocardial infarction (AMI).

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotypes were determined in Inuit population samples from Nuuk on the south-west coast of Greenland (n = 100) and from the Ammassalik region on the south-east coast (n = 78).… (More)
AIMS
No large randomized multicentre trial has evaluated the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) vs. anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy as a first-line treatment of paroxysmal atrial… (More)
OBJECTIVES
The purpose of this study was to compare atrial tachycardia circuits after a range of cardiac operations.
BACKGROUND
Knowledge of circuits occurring in a given postsurgical substrate… (More)
BACKGROUND
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFL) after circumferential pulmonary vein ablation (CPVA) using repetitive… (More)
