Effects of functional electrical stimulation on quality of life and emotional stress in patients with chronic heart failure secondary to ischaemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy: a randomised,…

• Apostolos I Karavidas, J. Parissis, +10 authors Dimitrios T h Kremastinos
• European journal of heart failure
• 2008

OBJECTIVE Functional electrical stimulation (FES) improves exercise capacity and endothelial function in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. This study evaluates the impact of FES on quality of… (More)

The relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and the severity and short-term prognosis of acute coronary syndromes (ACS): The Greek Study of ACS (The GREECS).

• Demosthenes B. Panagiotakos, Sophia M. Arapi, +4 authors Christodoulos Stefanadis
• Nutrition
• 2006

BACKGROUND Although adherence to the Mediterranean diet has long been associated with lower incidence of various chronic diseases among apparently healthy individuals, its relationship with the… (More)

Functional electrical stimulation is more effective in severe symptomatic heart failure patients and improves their adherence to rehabilitation programs.

• Apostolos I Karavidas, J. Parissis, +8 authors Dimitios T Kremastinos
• Journal of cardiac failure
• 2010

BACKGROUND Functional electrical stimulation (FES) improves exercise capacity and quality of life in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. However, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of… (More)

Assessment of cardiac function with Doppler tissue imaging in asymptomatic HIV-infected patients

• Apostolos I Karavidas, Manolis Foukarakis, +8 authors Christodoulos Stefanadis
• International journal of STD & AIDS
• 2008

Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) is a useful tool for the detection of subtle systolic function abnormalities related to the longitudinal contraction. We assessed left ventricular (LV) systolic function… (More)

Functional electrical stimulation of lower limb muscles as an alternative mode of exercise training in chronic heart failure: practical considerations and proposed algorithm.

• Christos H Pitsavos, Stavros A Kavouras, +8 authors Christodoulos Stefanadis
• Journal of the American College of Cardiology
• 2008

OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the association between physical activity levels and the clinical outcome at presentation, as well as the 30-day prognosis of hospitalized patients with acute… (More)

Effects of levosimendan on flow-mediated vasodilation and soluble adhesion molecules in patients with advanced chronic heart failure.

• J. Parissis, Apostolos J Karavidas, +7 authors Dimitrios T h Kremastinos
• Atherosclerosis
• 2008

AIM Endothelial activation and dysfunction may be an important contributor to chronic heart failure (CHF) progression. We sought to investigate whether the calcium sensitizer levosimendan affects… (More)

• Georgios A Lazaros, Apostolos J Karavidas, +10 authors Christodoulos Stefanadis
• Cardiology
• 2011

OBJECTIVES We assessed the role of the immunogenetic background in the development and recurrence of acute idiopathic pericarditis (AIP). METHODS Fifty-five patients with a first episode of AIP… (More)

Clinical value of B-type natriuretic peptide for the assessment of left ventricular filling pressures in patients with systolic heart failure and inconclusive tissue Doppler indexes

• Apostolos J Karavidas, George Lazaros, +9 authors Apostolos Ach Zacharoulis
• Heart and Vessels
• 2007

Invasive hemodynamic monitoring with Swan-Ganz catheterization to guide treatment decisions in heart failure may be hazardous and may lack prognostic value. We assessed the clinical utility of B-type… (More)
