Although the use of physical signs for the diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia (VT) was described in the early 1900s, their value in this role has never been systematically assessed.

The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) was designed to test the hypothesis that suppression of ventricular ectopy with antiarrhythmic drugs after a myocardial infarction reduces the incidence of sudden arrhythmic death. Patients in whom ventricular ectopy could be suppressed with encainide, flecainide, or moricizine were randomly assigned to receive either active drug or placebo. The encainide and flecainide arms of the study were discontinued in 1989 (CAST-I) and the moricizine arm in 1991 (CAST-II) because of excess mortality. To explore the mechanisms of these adverse outcomes, we examined the interaction of baseline characteristics with the hazard of therapy with encainide, flecainide, or moricizine compared with their respective placebos.

Conventional programmed ventricular stimulation protocols are inefficient compared with more recently proposed protocols. The purpose of the present study was to determine if additional efficiency could be derived from a 6-step programmed ventricular stimulation protocol that exclusively uses four extrastimuli.

We wished to assess the respective roles of the antihypertensive and blood pressure (BP)-independent effects of antihypertensive drugs on arterial hemodynamics and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
3245. Angiotensinergic versus nonangiotensinergic hemodynamic effects of converting enzyme inhibition in patients with chronic heart failure. Assessment by acute renin and converting enzyme inhibition.

来源: Circulation. 1994年90卷6期2748-56页
The contribution of nonangiotensinergic effects of converting enzyme inhibitors to their hemodynamic effects in patients with chronic heart failure is not clear. A comparison of the effects of renin and converting enzyme inhibition should help to clarify this issue.

A paradoxical increased risk of death has been reported during the first 24 hours after thrombolysis for myocardial infarction. The mechanism of this phenomenon is not known, nor is its relation to the success or failure of reperfusion. The present study was a prospectively designed analysis of deaths occurring within the first 24 hours in the GUSTO trial.

Neurological injury is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. With the advent of warm heart surgery, the neuroprotective role of hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has come under increasing scrutiny. Preliminary work by us in the area found no increased risk of neurological morbidity with normothermic CPB in a small group of patients and suggested a possible benefit. The purpose of the present study is to compare the incidence of neurological and neuropsychological dysfunction in a larger number of patients randomized to warm or cold aortocoronary bypass surgery.

The late hemodynamic effects of preserving the papillary muscles during mitral valve replacement have not been evaluated.
3251. VA Study of Unstable Angina. 10-year results show duration of surgical advantage for patients with impaired ejection fraction.
In a randomized study of unstable angina, medically treated patients with impaired left ventricular (LV) ejection fractions (EF = 0.3 to 0.58) were at significantly higher risk of mortality than patients treated by coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). Because the duration of this surgical advantage is unknown, 10-year cumulative mortality rates of patients with impaired LVEF were determined and compared with the previously observed rates at 2, 5, and 8 years.

Superior patency rates for internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts compared with vein coronary bypass grafts have been demonstrated by retrospective studies. This difference may have been affected by selection bias of patients and coronary arteries for IMA grafting.

The upper limit of vulnerability is the stimulus strength above which electrical stimulation cannot induce ventricular fibrillation even when the stimulus occurs during the vulnerable period of the cardiac cycle. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the upper limit of vulnerability can accurately predict the defibrillation threshold in patients undergoing implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation using nonthoracotomy lead systems.

When used in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, intravenous thrombolytic agents fail to achieve early infarct artery patency in 15% to 50% of patients. We tested the hypothesis that immediate balloon angioplasty applied to patients with failed early reperfusion would improve left ventricular function and clinical outcome at 30 days compared with conservative management alone.

Heparin needs the plasma protein antithrombin III to function as an inhibitor of thrombin, and local antithrombin III deficiency might therefore limit the antithrombotic effectiveness of heparin during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from fish oils have been shown to modulate many factors believed to affect the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Because certain features of restenosis following angioplasty mimic some of the early changes of atherogenesis, some researchers have suggested that fish oil might prevent restenosis following angioplasty. We report the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the rate of restenosis following percutaneous intraluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
3257. Superiority of treadmill walking exercise versus strength training for patients with peripheral arterial disease. Implications for the mechanism of the training response.
In patients with intermittent claudication, a supervised walking exercise program increases peak exercise performance and community-based functional status. Patients with peripheral arterial disease also have muscle weakness in the affected extremity that may contribute to the walking impairment. However, the potential benefits of training modalities other than walking exercise, such as strength training, have not been critically evaluated in this patient population. The present study tested the hypothesis that a strength training program would be as effective as treadmill walking exercise and that combinations of strengthening and walking exercise would be more effective than either alone in improving exercise performance.
3258. Effect of capacitor size and pathway resistance on defibrillation threshold for implantable defibrillators.
The time constant of truncated exponential pulses used with implantable defibrillators is determined by the output capacitor size and defibrillation pathway resistance. The optimal capacitor size is unknown.

Functional benefit in heart failure due to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy has been observed after beta-blockade, but improvement in survival has not been established in a large-scale randomized trial. This was the main objective of the Cardiac Insufficiency Bisoprolol Study (CIBIS).

In the Survival and Ventricular Enlargement (SAVE) trial, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) was the most important predictor of a poor outcome and conferred a sevenfold increase in risk of death. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of recurrent MI in study participants and to examine the influence of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril on this and other myocardial ischemic events.
