Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a relatively common familial cardiac disease, with a broad clinical spectrum, with an important premature cardiovascular risk, including sudden death, but also with incapacitating symptoms, especially in young patients.

Background: High oxidative stress appears to be related to high cardiovascular risk particularly in populations like elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Few data are available on the effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) and calcium-channel blockers (CCB) in this population. We aimed to examine the effect of treatment with fosinopril and/or lercanidipine on several parameters of oxidative stress as proatherogenic factors in elderly patients with ISH.

Introduction: Experimental and clinical studies suggest that transplantation of bone marrow derived stem cells (BMC) beneficially affect left ventricular (LV) remodeling process after acute myocardial infarction (MI) and contribute to the regeneration and neovascularization of ischemic myocardium.

ABSTRACT

The basic features scrutinized during the analysis of the 3D flow in blood vessels are the flow separation and reattachment at the vessel wall where two stagnation points appear. An interesting aspect of the flow structure in a 3D stenosis model is the generation and propagation of a vortex, downstream of the constricted region.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is widely used to cure symptomatic patients with typical atrial flutter. However, the long term results are debatable.

Aims: To assess the long term benefit of RF catheter ablation in patients with typical atrial flutter and to analyze the predictors for late recurrence.
