Pre-ictal heart rate variability assessment of epileptic seizures by means of linear and non-linear analyses.
CONCLUSION: Significant changes of HRV parameters in pre-ictal (5 minutes before the seizure) are obviously higher in comparison to interictal baseline. Pre-ictal significant changes of HRV suggesting that this time can be considered as prediction time for designing an algorithm of early detection of seizure onset based on HRV.

Almanac 2013: acute coronary syndromes.
Abstract Unstable coronary artery plaque is the most common underlying cause of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and can manifest as unstable angina, non-ST segment elevation infarction (NSTE-ACS), and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but can also manifest as sudden cardiac arrest due to ischaemia induced tachyarrhythmias. ACS mortality has decreased significantly over the last few years, especially from the more extreme manifestations of ACS, STEMI, and cardiac arrest. This trend is likely to continue based on recent therapeutic progress, which includes novel antiplatelet agents such as prasugre...

Long-term prognosis of mild functional tricuspid regurgitation after mitral valve replacement: an observational retrospective study.
This study revealed that mild FTR might advance to moderate to severe grade in more than half of the patients in the follow-up. Thus, surgical approach to even mild FTR should be individualized based on patient's risk assessment. PMID: 24108760 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology)

Coronary artery ectasia as a culprit for acute myocardial infarction: review of pathophysiology and management.
Abstract Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as localized coronary dilatation, which exceeds the diameter of normal adjacent segments or the diameter of the patient's largest coronary vessel by 1.5 times. The pathophysiology of CAE remains unclear as its relationship with atherosclerosis remains only modestly established. The histological variances and conflicting reports of the role of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, also, weakens the significance of such association. The slow coronary flow (CSF) of CAE may lead to ischemic and thrombotic events, a mechanism that has never been fully elucida...

Gender specific association of ABCA1 gene R219K variant in coronary disease risk through interactions with serum triglyceride elevation in Turkish adults.
CONCLUSION: R219 allele of the ABCA1 gene independently confers CHD risk in heterozygote Turkish women, not via reduced HDL-C, but interact- ing with elevated TG expressed by the 219K allele, but not in men.
