stiffness and pulse wave velocity / Aorta and carotid arteries 137 (0.94 to 1.01) p = 0.096; Obesity OR = 0.47 (0.29 to 1.77) p = 0.003 and Diabetes OR = 2.41 (1.15 -5.05) p = 0.020. Conclusions: According to the results obtained, genetic polymorphisms variables were not in the multivariate analysis equation to determine the increase of the PWV, which can be explained either by being included in the selected variables such as hypertension, or on the other hand, they may not have enough strength to remain in the equation. So, according to this study, PWV has much more to do with behaviors and traditional risk factors than the genetic heritage.P883 Endothelial dysfunction, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index are correlated in subjects with systemic arterial hypertension?
This document provides an overview of current problems and trends in the catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, summarizes the opinions of specialists, obtained during a web-based electronic survey, on aspects and parameters of radiofrequency ablation. The approaches on improving the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation are provided.
The case history of 19-year old patient with Ebstein's anomaly and WPW syndrome, which was held surgical correction of cardiac arrhythmias by radiofrequency ablation is described. 3-year observation of patient confirmed the success of the operation – absence episodes of arrhythmia
The present report describes a 20-year old man who developed an incessant atrial tachycardia several days after snakebite. Antiarrhythmic treatment was ineffective and six months later radiofrequency ablation of atrial tachycardia was successfully performed. A chronic arrythmia was considered as manifestation of toxic-allergic myocarditis. The possible mechanisms leading to myocarditis are discussed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
