In the field of cardiovascular diseases, elevated levels of serum uric acid (UA) reflect a marked activation of the xanthine oxidase pathway with increase in free radicals production; it is often associated with an inflammatory state, oxygen consumption and endothelial dysfunction. All these associations have been also confirmed in heart failure (HF) but the pathophysiological role of UA in this setting is not well understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of UA in outpatients enrolled in the Italian Registry of Congestive Heart Failure (IN-CHF).All patients met the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) criteria for diagnosis of HF. We considered patients with complete clinical data and UA level available at the baseline and at 1-year follow-up. The study population was composed of 877 patients aged 63 ± 12 years. One-year mortality was 10.8% and dead patients had a higher level of UA than survivors (7.1 mg dl⁻¹ vs 6.6 mg dl⁻¹, p0.0207). In multivariable full model of analysis, UA did not result in an independent predictor of death in overall population, but only in patients with low body mass index (BMI) (≤22 kg m⁻²) (hazard ratio (HR): 2.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.36-4.18). In this subgroup, a statistically significant gradual relationship between UA and survival was detected starting from values higher than 8 mg dl⁻¹.Elevated level of UA is not an independent predictor of mortality in chronic HF, but it markedly worsens outcome if associated with low level of BMI. This association is likely an indicator of chronic inflammatory and catabolic state.

This study sought to prospectively assess which factors were related to short-term worsening heart failure (HF) leading to or not to hospital admission, in long-term outpatients followed by cardiologists. The subsequent decision-making process was also analyzed. The study population consisted of 2,701 outpatients enrolled in the registry of the Italian Network on Congestive Heart Failure (IN-CHF) and followed by 133 cardiology centers (19% of all existing Italian cardiology centers). Clinical and follow-up data were collected by local trained clinicians; 215 patients (8%) had short-term decompensation (on average 2 months after the index outpatient visit). Multivariate analysis showed that previous hospitalization, long duration of symptoms, ischemic etiology, atrial fibrillation, higher functional class (New York Heart Association classification III to IV), higher heart rate, and low systolic blood pressure were independently associated with HF destabilization. Poor compliance (21%) and infection (12%) were the most frequent precipitating factors, but a precipitating factor was not identified in 40% of the patients. Poor compliance was more common in women, but no other clinical characteristics emerged as being related with a specific precipitating factor. Fifty-seven percent of the patients with a short-term recurrence of worsening HF required hospital admission; infusion treatment with inotropes and/or vasodilators was necessary in 19% of them. Long-term therapy was changed in 48% of the patients. Thus, in ambulatory HF patients, short-term worsening HF can be predicted according to the clinical characteristics on an outpatient basis. Nearly 1/3 of precipitating factors can be prevented. Patient education and avoidance of inappropriate treatment may reduce the number of relapses.

We assessed the influence of clinically significant mitral regurgitation (MR) on clinical-echocardiographic response and outcome in heart failure (HF) patients treated with a biventricular defibrillator (cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator [CRT-D]). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 659 HF patients underwent successful implantation of CRT-D and were enrolled in a multicenter prospective registry (median follow-up of 15 months). Following baseline echocardiographic evaluation, patients were stratified into two groups according to the severity of MR: 232 patients with more than mild MR (Group MR+: grade 2, 3, and 4 MR) versus 427 patients with mild (grade 1) or no functional MR (Group MR-). On 6- and 12-month echocardiographic evaluation, MR was seen to have improved in the vast majority of MR+ patients, while it remained unchanged in most MR- patients. On 12-month follow-up evaluation, a comparable response to CRT was observed in the two groups, in terms of the extent of left ventricular reverse remodeling and combined clinical and echocardiographic response. During long-term follow-up, event-free survival did not differ between MR+ and MR- patients, even when subpopulations of patients with ischemic heart disease and with dilated cardiomyopathy were analyzed separately. On multivariate analysis, the only independent predictor of death from any cause was the lack of β-blocker use. CONCLUSIONS: This observational analysis supports the use of CRT-D in HF patients with clinically significant MR; MR had no major influence on patient outcome.

Item does not contain fulltext BACKGROUND: Vorapaxar is a new oral protease-activated-receptor 1 (PAR-1) antagonist that inhibits thrombin-induced platelet activation. METHODS: In this multinational, double-blind, randomized trial, we compared vorapaxar with placebo in 12,944 patients who had acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation. The primary end point was a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, stroke, recurrent ischemia with rehospitalization, or urgent coronary revascularization. RESULTS: Follow-up in the trial was terminated early after a safety review. After a median follow-up of 502 days (interquartile range, 349 to 667), the primary end point occurred in 1031 of 6473 patients receiving vorapaxar versus 1102 of 6471 patients receiving placebo (Kaplan-Meier 2-year rate, 18.5% vs. 19.9%; hazard ratio, 0.92; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85 to 1.01; P=0.07). A composite of death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, or stroke occurred in 822 patients in the vorapaxar group versus 910 in the placebo group (14.7% and 16.4%, respectively; hazard ratio, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.81 to 0.98; P=0.02). Rates of moderate and severe bleeding were 7.2% in the vorapaxar group and 5.2% in the placebo group (hazard ratio, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.16 to 1.58; P

Objectives: The role of atrial fibrillation (AF) in older patients with heart failure (HF) is controversial because many variables seem to influence their outcome. We investigated the predictivity of AF in 3 age groups of outpatients with HF. Methods: We analyzed 8,178 outpatients enrolled in the Italian Network on Congestive Heart Failure Registry with HF diagnosed according to the European Society of Cardiology criteria. A trained cardiologist established the diagnosis of AF and HF at the entry visit at each center. We stratified the population into 3 age groups, as follows: group A, ≤65 years; group B, 66–75 years, and group C, >75 years. Results: Group A was composed of 4,261 patients, 683 with AF (16.0%); in group B there were 2,651 patients, 638 with AF (24.1%), and group C was composed of 1,266 patients, 412 with AF (32.5%). The 1-year mortality rate was higher in AF patients in all groups. In a multivariate model, AF remained an independent risk factor for death in groups A and B, but not in group C [group A: hazard ratio (HR) 1.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10–1.81; group B: HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.00–1.67; group C: HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.78–1.43]. Conclusion: The prevalence of AF increased with age and was associated with a higher mortality rate. However, AF independently predicted all-cause mortality only in patients aged ≤75 years.

Background: Few data exist on the long-term changes and the prognostic value of heart rate variability (HRV) assessed by implanted devices in heart failure (HF) patients treated with resynchronization therapy (CRT). Aims: To analyze the long-term changes in the standard deviation of 5-minute median atrial–atrial sensed intervals (SDANN), and assess its role in predicting CRT efficacy and major cardiovascular events. Methods and results: We included 509 consecutive patients implanted with CRT devices. At 12-month follow-up, 44 patients had died and 86 patients had at least one HF hospitalisation. A significant increase in SDANN occurred after 4 weeks of CRT (from 69±22 ms to 82±27 ms, p

BACKGROUND: Current fibrinolytic therapies fail to achieve optimum reperfusion in many patients. Low-molecular-weight heparins and platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors have shown the potential to improve pharmacological reperfusion therapy. We did a randomised, open-label trial to compare the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase plus enoxaparin or abciximab, with that of tenecteplase plus weight-adjusted unfractionated heparin in patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS: 6095 patients with acute myocardial infarction of less than 6 h were randomly assigned one of three regimens: full-dose tenecteplase and enoxaparin for a maximum of 7 days (enoxaparin group; n=2040), half-dose tenecteplase with weight-adjusted low-dose unfractionated heparin and a 12-h infusion of abciximab (abciximab group; n=2017), or full-dose tenecteplase with weight-adjusted unfractionated heparin for 48 h (unfractionated heparin group; n=2038). The primary endpoints were the composites of 30-day mortality, in-hospital reinfarction, or in-hospital refractory ischaemia (efficacy endpoint), and the above endpoint plus in-hospital intracranial haemorrhage or in-hospital major bleeding complications (efficacy plus safety endpoint). Analysis was by intention to treat. FINDINGS: There were significantly fewer efficacy endpoints in the enoxaparin and abciximab groups than in the unfractionated heparin group: 233/2037 (11.4%) versus 315/2038 (15.4%; relative risk 0.74 [95% CI 0.63-0.87], p=0.0002) for enoxaparin, and 223/2017 (11.1%) versus 315/2038 (15.4%; 0.72 [0.61-0.84], p

- Abstract
Constriction of atherosclerotic coronary segments during exercise may further reduce coronary flow reserve in patients with coronary artery disease. This could influence the linear regression analysis of the heart rate-related changes in ST-segment depression (ST/HR slope) thereby limiting the accuracy of this method in identifying the severity of the disease. To test this hypothesis, the exercise related ST/HR slopes on placebo were compared with those obtained during coronary vasodilation induced by a prostacyclin analogue (iloprost 6 ng kg min) in 42 anginal patients with documented coronary artery disease. In seven of these, the same protocol was repeated during right heart catheterization. The overall diagnostic accuracy of the ST/HR slope on iloprost was better than on placebo in patients with advanced coronary artery disease. This was due mainly to a consistent rightward shift of the ST/HRslope in patients with one- and two-vessel, but not three-vessel disease or left main stem disease. The reason for the greater effects of iloprost on ST/HR slopes in patients with a lesser degree of atherosclerosis remains unclear. However, coronary blood flow was higher during drug infusion, which suggests that iloprost may prevent the occurrence of dynamic coronary events able to reduce the maximum coronary flow reserve during exertion. This mechanism may be predominant in patients with minor coronary artery disease. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

A high pulse pressure (PP) predicts cardiovascular mortality in hypertension and in the elderly. We analyzed the data from the Italian Network of Congestive Heart Failure Registry to test the prognostic role of PP in patients with heart failure.A total of 8660 patients with heart failure (mean age 64 +/- 12 years, 73% male) were divided into four groups according to their PP (40, 40-49, 50-59, andor = 60 mmHg), and followed prospectively.After 1 year, 995 patients (11.5%) died. Both the mean arterial pressure and systolic blood pressure were found to be inversely associated with mortality at univariate and multivariate analyses. An inverse univariate relation was observed between PP and all-cause mortality. An excess mortality risk in the lowest PP group (odds ratio 1.40, 95% confidence interval 1.09-1.79 vs the highest PP group) was confirmed in a multivariate analysis which took into account the effect of several other variables, including mean arterial pressure. Similar findings were obtained for cardiovascular mortality. When we replaced systolic blood pressure with mean arterial pressure in the model, PP did not retain its independent prognostic role, possibly because of the high co-linearity between these two variables (r = 0.87).For any given level of mean arterial pressure, a low PP is an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular death in patients with heart failure. The association may be partly related to the strong influence of low systolic blood pressure on mortality. Different pathophysiological mechanisms may underlie the opposite prognostic significance of PP in hypertension and heart failure.

Background The independent prognostic impact of diabetes mellitus ( DM ) and prediabetes mellitus (pre‐ DM ) on survival outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure has been investigated in observational registries and randomized, clinical trials, but the results have been often inconclusive or conflicting. We examined the independent prognostic impact of DM and pre‐ DM on survival outcomes in the GISSI ‐HF (Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nella Insufficienza Cardiaca‐Heart Failure) trial. Methods and Results We assessed the risk of all‐cause death and the composite of all‐cause death or cardiovascular hospitalization over a median follow‐up period of 3.9 years among the 6935 chronic heart failure participants of the GISSI ‐ HF trial, who were stratified by presence of DM (n=2852), pre‐ DM (n=2013), and non‐ DM (n=2070) at baseline. Compared with non‐ DM patients, those with DM had remarkably higher incidence rates of all‐cause death (34.5% versus 24.6%) and the composite end point (63.6% versus 54.7%). Conversely, both event rates were similar between non‐ DM patients and those with pre‐ DM . Cox regression analysis showed that DM , but not pre‐ DM , was associated with an increased risk of all‐cause death (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% CI , 1.28–1.60) and of the composite end point (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.23; 95% CI , 1.13–1.32), independently of established risk factors. In the DM subgroup, higher hemoglobin A1c was also independently associated with increased risk of both study outcomes (all‐cause death: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% CI , 1.02–1.43; and composite end point: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.14; 95% CI , 1.01–1.29, respectively). Conclusions Presence of DM was independently associated with poor long‐term survival outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. Clinical Trial Registration URL : http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

- Abstract
Background: To understand the impact of a quadripolar left ventricular (LV) lead on reverse remodeling and phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS) in congestive heart failure patients treated by cardiac resynchronization therapy at 8-month follow-up (FU)., Methods: One hundred and fifty-eight patients received an LV Medtronic Performa lead (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) and were reevaluated at FU by echocardiography and measurement of electrical parameters., Results: A targeted LV lead placement was achieved in 140 (89%) patients. Super responders and responders were 76 (50%) and 26 (18%), respectively, at FU; seven (4%) died and 13 (8%) were hospitalized for any cause. Nonischemic etiology was the only independent predictor of reverse remodeling. The configurations available only with the Performa leads reduced PNS occurrence at 8 V@0.4 ms from 43 (27%) to 14 (9%) of patients at implantation, and from 44 (28%) to 19 (12%) at last FU, compared to configurations available with bipolar leads. Patients with detectable PNS had >10/16 pacing configurations with a PNS safety margin >2 V both at implantation and at FU. During FU 16 (10%) patients had an adverse event possibly related to the lead or to modification of the underlying heart disease but 99% of these events were fixed by reprogramming of the pacing vector., Conclusions: Performa Lead enables an increased capability to achieve a targeted lead positioning in the broad clinical scenario of large- and small-volume implanting centers, with a relevant impact on the occurrence of reverse remodeling compared to literature data. The enhanced management of PNS resulted in a dislodgement rate of only 1%., (© 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
Aims: Cardio-cardiac reflexes may be evoked by both myocardial ischaemia and coronary occlusion itself. The aim of the study was to assess the intrapatient behaviour of autonomic nervous system balance during spontaneous and balloon-induced coronary ischaemia., Methods and Results: We studied a group of patients admitted to the coronary care unit for acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation who experienced spontaneous episodes of myocardial ischaemia during bed rest and ECG monitoring. The inclusion criterion was 80-90% lumen stenosis, amenable to angioplasty. Balloon coronary occlusion was performed at 4-6 atmospheres for 120 s. Autonomic nervous system activity was assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) analysis in frequency domain. We analysed 14 episodes of spontaneous ischaemia and 14 episodes of balloon coronary occlusion. During spontaneous ischaemia, HRV showed an increase in the low/high frequencies ratio (11.8 +/- 5.7), as compared to 5 min before and 5 min after (4.4 +/- 2.7 and 3.9 +/- 1.8, respectively) (p = 0.001). The opposite occurred during balloon coronary occlusion (0.8 +/- 0.4 vs. 3.9 +/- 2.0 and 5.1 +/- 2.1, respectively; p = 0.001)., Conclusions: Balloon inflation and occlusion evokes baroreceptor vagal predominance in response to a stretch stimulus of the coronary artery. Conversely, spontaneous occlusion during unstable angina is accompanied by naturally occurring sympathetic activation. Sympathetic activation may have a role in the natural history of the disease., (Copyright 2004 Elsevier Ltd)

- Abstract
We studied the effect of pravastatin on coronary perfusion after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. An exercise test performed within 2 weeks after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty induced reversible perfusion defects in 66% of patients taking pravastatin and 64% of those taking placebo. At follow-up, the exercise test still induced reversible perfusion defects in 3% of patients taking pravastatin and 29% of those taking placebo.

- Abstract
The association of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with normal coronary arteries was analyzed prospectively. A series of 128 consecutive patients underwent coronary angiography within 1 week from AMI. Seven patients, all females, had no coronary artery lesions and were considered eligible for the study. All 7 patients underwent atrial pacing (10 g/min increments every 2 min), ergonovine testing (E; total dose 0.650 mg i.v.). Great cardiac vein flow (GCVF; thermodilution technique), mean aortic pressure (MAP), anterior coronary resistance (ACR) and myocardial lactate extraction [(Lac art-Lac gcv)/Lac art] were measured at baseline and during testing. Pacing-induced typical chest pain occurred in 5 patients: 4 of them showed concurrent significant (> or = 0.15 mV) ST downsloping. At peak pacing, GCVF increased only by < 50%, or even decreased, in all patients. Baseline lactate extraction (0.13 +/- 0.11) changed to lactate production (-0.15 +/- 0.10) in 7/7 patients. None of the patients showed focal epicardial coronary artery spasm following E. During testing, however, all 7 patients showed decrease in GCVF (110 +/- 47 versus 74 +/- 21; p < 0.005), increase in ACR (0.92 +/- 0.29 versus 1.43 +/- 0.20; p < 0.001), and significant coronary lactate production (-0.18 +/- 0.12). Six patients referred slight to moderate chest pain, which was accompanied by ST downsloping in 4.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
Several causes may affect the efficacy of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in congestive heart failure (CHF). The present study was undertaken to identify what factors might predict benefits in exercise capacity after ACE inhibition in 22 patients with mild to moderate CHF. All patients underwent hemodynamic evaluation before and following an oral dose of quinapril (20 mg). They were then treated daily with 20 mg of quinapril and underwent exercise stress test off-drugs 1 day and 6 months later. Patients were grouped according to their relative changes in vascular resistances after quinapril: Group A (n = 15) showed a greater decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) than in systemic vascular resistance (SVR) (% delta PVR/% delta SVR > 1). The opposite occurred in Group B (n = 7). Comparison of pretreatment baseline features revealed that the two groups had similar biochemical and hormonal variables, cardiac index, and SVR. Conversely, Group A patients had higher (p < 0.05) pulmonary artery pressure and PVR compared with Group B patients. Following quinapril, Group A patients showed a greater (p < 0.05) increase in cardiac index than Group B patients, despite a similar reduction in SVR. Accordingly, 1-day drug treatment significantly (p < 0.001) increased exercise duration in Group A (+29%), but not in Group B patients (+7%). Benefits in exercise capacity were still significant (p < 0.001) 6 months later.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
Objectives: The present study was undertaken to investigate the response of large and small coronary arteries in a subgroup of patients with no or minimal coronary artery disease found to have objective signs of myocardial ischemia., Background: Many patients apparently have normal coronary arteries despite abnormal electrocardiographic (ECG) changes during spontaneous anginal attacks or exercise stress testing., Methods: Twenty-five patients with no or minimal (< 30% stenosis) coronary artery disease were chosen from a pool initially selected on the basis of spontaneous anginal attacks and ST segment shifts in the anterior leads. Of these, 10 were grouped as having variant angina (at least one episode of ST elevation) and the remaining 15 as having syndrome X (exercise-induced anginal pain, ST depression and reversible thallium abnormalities). Data were compared with those obtained in 10 patients with stable angina and documented coronary artery disease. Eighteen patients with supraventricular arrhythmias and normal coronary arteries served as control patients. Patients showing focal spasm during ergonovine testing were not included in the subsequent angiographic analysis. Great cardiac vein blood flow, aortic pressure and changes in coronary artery diameter were measured at rest and 2 to 4 min after hyperventilation in the remaining study group. The same procedure was repeated after sublingual administration of 0.3 mg of nitroglycerin in eight patients (four with syndrome X and four with variant angina)., Results: Hyperventilation induced diffuse epicardial coronary diameter reduction, which was marginal in control patients (9 +/- 4%) and those with coronary artery disease (5 +/- 3%) but severe (p < 0.001) in those with variant angina (28 +/- 14%) or syndrome X (25 +/- 13%). Concomitant determination of coronary blood flow showed significant (p < 0.001) decreases in those with variant angina (25 +/- 11%) and syndrome X (28 +/- 10%) but not in control patients (5 +/- 8%) or those with coronary artery disease (4 +/- 5%). Changes in great cardiac vein blood flow during hyperventilation were similar before and after nitroglycerin., Conclusions: These findings indicate that vasoconstrictor stimuli may trigger a diffuse abnormal response of both epicardial and resistance vessels in some patients with chest pain and angiographically normal coronary arteries. Patients showing such diffuse vasoconstrictor abnormalities are suggested to have a single pathogenetic entity with a spectrum of ECG manifestations ranging from ST depression to ST elevation.

- Abstract
Thrombolysis has been reported to restore coronary blood flow in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the relationship between fibrinolytic treatment and evidence of myocardial reperfusion has not been adequately assessed. Accordingly, we measured great cardiac vein blood flow (GCVF:thermodilution) in 12 patients (Group 1) presenting with AMI (chest pain < 4 hours and ST elevation in the anterior leads) before and following i.v. urokinase (UK:2 million U/90 min). Ten patients receiving conventional treatment served as controls (Group 2). UK induced a significant increase of GCVF (from 101 +/- 24 to 164 +/- 42 ml/min, p < 0.001). Maximal increase occurred after 50 +/- 54 min from drug infusion. Conversely, changes in GCVF were not significant in Group 2 (from 103 +/- 35 to 106 +/- 31 ml/min, NS). Following 24 hours changes in GCVF were still consistent only in Group 1 patients. Individual analysis during 24 hours showed marked fluctuations of GCVF peak values in Group 1 patients (62 +/- 43%), but not in Group 2 (29 +/- 21%). Thus, UK induces a marked increase of GCVF in most patients with anterior AMI; such increase suggests that reperfusion occurs early (i.e. within 1 hour) from UK administration. Fluctuations of GCVF during monitoring are magnified by thrombolysis, suggesting intermittent coronary reocclusion in the early hours of AMI.

- Abstract
Background: Intracoronary (i.c.) thrombus is a frequent finding in patients (pts) with unstable angina (UA). Accordingly, thrombolytic treatment could be beneficial, as resolution of thrombus might result in increased delivery of blood flow to the ischemic regions., Methods: To test this hypothesis we studied 13 pts with UA refractory to maximal medical treatment and ST segment shift in the anterior leads. Coronary angiography was performed and great cardiac vein blood flow (GCVF; thermodilution) was measured in all pts within 48 hours (mean 29 +/- 13 hrs) from the last chest pain episode. Following angiography, pts received i.v. wrokinase (UK: 1 million IU/30 min); aortic pressure and GCVF were measured before and every 10 min during drug infusion, for a total time of 90 min., Results: At baseline angiography 5/13 pts (Group 1) had evidence of i.c. thrombus (intraluminal filling defect or thrombotic subocclusion) in the ischemia-related left coronary artery, whereas 8 pts (Group 2) did not. Overall, coronary hemodynamics did not change significantly following drug administration: GCVF was 103 +/- 65 on baseline and 117 +/- 68 ml. min after UK; p > 0.05. Conversely, group analysis showed that UK increased GCVF and decreased anterior coronary resistances (mean aortic pressure/GCVF) in Group 1 (respectively from 86 +/- 33 to 114 +/- 41 ml. min: p < 0.005; and from 1.37 +/- 0.68 to 1.01 +/- 0.44 mmHg/ml. min: p < 0.05) but not in Group 2 (both: p > 0.05), despite similar effects on aortic pressure., Conclusions: Fibrinolytic treatment can be of therapeutic value in UA; UK has shown to increase regional coronary blood flow in selected pts presenting with refractory angina as well as evidence of i.c. thrombus at early angiography. Heterogeneity of angiographic findings could explain controversies in trials dealing with thrombolysis in UA.

- Abstract
Intracoronary (i.c.) thrombus is a frequent finding in patients with unstable angina (UA). Accordingly, thrombolytic treatment could be beneficial, as resolution of thrombus might result in increased delivery of blood flow to the ischemic regions. To test this hypothesis, we studied 13 patients with active UA and ST-segment shift in the anterior leads. Coronary angiography was performed and great cardiac vein blood flow (GCVF; thermodilution) was measured in all patients 25 +/- 14 h after the last chest pain episode. Following angiography, patients received i.v. urokinase (UK: 1,000,000 IU/30 min); aortic pressure and GCVF were measured before and every 10 min following drug infusion, for a total time of 90 min. At baseline angiography, 5 of 13 patients (Group 1) had evidence of i.c. thrombus (intraluminal filling defect or thrombotic subocclusion) in the ischemia-related left coronary artery, whereas 8 patients (Group 2) did not. Group analysis showed that UK increased GCVF and decreased anterior coronary resistance in Group 1 (respectively, from 86 +/- 33 to 114 +/- 41 ml/min: p less than 0.005; and from 1.37 +/- 0.68 to 1.01 +/- 0.44 mmHg/ml/min: p less than 0.05) but not in Group 2 (both: p = NS). In conclusion, UK has been shown to increase regional coronary blood flow in selected patients presenting with active UA, as well as evidence of i.c. thrombus at early angiography. Heterogeneity of angiographic findings could explain controversies in trials dealing with thrombolysis in UA.

- Abstract
Complex stenosis morphology frequently occurs in patients with unstable angina pectoris. However, its relation to transient myocardial ischemia and hospital outcome has not been ascertained. To address this issue, 88 patients with significant (greater than or equal to 50%) coronary artery disease presenting with angina--new onset (n = 38), worsening (n = 20) or at rest (n = 30)-were studied. Patients with left main artery disease, normal coronary arteries or occlusion of the ischemia-related arteries were not included in the study. Continuous electrocardiographic recordings were obtained during the first 24 hours. Angiography was performed within 1 week from admission. Complex morphology was defined as any stenosis with irregular borders, overhanging edges or intracoronary thrombus. Only data referring to the in-hospital outcome were considered in this study. Adverse end points were sudden death, myocardial infarction and emergency revascularization. Analysis of the angiograms revealed a complex morphology in 58 patients (group 1). The remaining 30 patients served as control subjects (group 2). Thirty-two of the 58 group 1 patients had an unfavorable clinical outcome (positive predictive value, 55%). A similar outcome occurred in only 2 of the 30 group 2 patients (negative predictive value, 93%). Of the 32 group 1 patients who had an unfavorable clinical outcome, 29 had a cumulative duration of transient myocardial ischemia of greater than or equal to 60 minutes per 24 hours. A similar duration of ischemia, however, was observed in another 6 group 1 and in 8 group 2 patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the vasomotion of the entire coronary tree in variant angina, particularly focusing the attention on the behaviour of the "non spastic" epicardial vessels, using a quantitative coronary technique. Two different groups of patients served as controls. The first group consisted of 10 patients with accessory nodal pathway but without any sign of myocardial ischemia (Group I). The second group included 8 patients with stable exertional angina pectoris and coronary artery disease (Group II). The third group (Group III) consisted of 16 patients presenting with variant angina and spontaneous or hyperventilation-induced (HV: 30 cycles/min for 5 min) ST segment elevation. All patients underwent coronary angiography before and 2 min after HV testing; the evaluation of the coronary diameters was performed on baseline and after HV. In Group III, the HV testing caused a 26 +/- 12% reduction of the "non spastic" coronary vessels, with the mean control diameter of 2.00 +/- 0.61 mm that decreased to 1.48 +/- 0.55 mm. The patients of Group I showed only a mild degree of vasoconstriction (9 +/- 6%) of the epicardial coronary vessels; the Group II patients, also, showed a moderate response to vasoactive stimulus (11 +/- 8%), with the mean control diameter of 2.36 +/- 0.69 mm that decreased to 2.09 +/- 0.65 mm. The greater amount of vasoconstriction showed by patients with variant angina was statistically significant compared to both control groups (p less than 0.001). A further analysis of the coronary vasomotion, in Group III patients, showed that the 6 patients with normal or near normal coronary angiograms exhibited a 34% reduction in the vessel diameter. The remaining 10 patients who presented with a diffuse atherosclerotic involvement of the epicardial vessels (organic stenosis greater than or equal to 50% at the site of spasm) showed a lesser (20%) but yet significant extent of vasoconstriction compared to both control groups (p less than 0.001). In conclusion, our data indicate that: patients with variant angina exhibit a marked and diffuse coronary narrowing of the coronary vessels during vasoconstrictor stimuli; focal spasm occurs more frequently at the level of atherosclerotic coronary segments, whether they are critical or not. An interaction between these 2 phenomena, ie atherosclerosis and abnormal vasoconstriction, is supposed to be a cause of the occurrence of focal coronary spasm in variant angina.

- Abstract
Ninety patients were studied with combined echophonocardiography after Björk-Shiley disc prosthetic mitral valve replacement. They were evaluated every 6 months (mean follow-up 6 years). Nine cases of left ventricular (LV) failure and 6 cases of prosthetic malfunction (5 paravalvular leaks and 1 thrombosis) were detected; 1 case was confirmed at necropsy and the other 5 cases were surgically verified and repaired. The following measures of prosthetic malfunction were evaluated: opening and closing velocity, maximal amplitude of the prosthesis, septal motion 6 months after operation, LV diastolic diameter, protodiastolic hump, variations during same record of the interval between aortic valve closure sound to the phono and mitral valve opening to the echo, and interval between aortic valve closure sound and maximal excursion of the LV posterior wall. All measures studied were useful for detecting prosthetic malfunction, but 2 are more useful in individual cases: variations of the interval between second heart sound and mitral valve opening and the interval between the aortic valve closure sound and LV posterior wall motion. These 2 intervals also allow discrimination between normal function, prosthetic malfunction and LV failure.

- Abstract
The effect of oral administration of 500 mg of levodopa with 50 mg of carbidopa, a peripheral dopadecarboxylase inhibitor, on coronary vasomotion during vasoconstrictor stimuli was examined in 15 patients with variant angina presenting with hyperventilation-induced myocardial ischemia. Patients were studied during 3 noninvasive sessions and 1 angiographic session. In all sessions the basic protocol consisted of provocation of coronary spasm by hyperventilation before and 2 hours after levodopa and carbidopa administration. During angiography, great cardiac vein blood flow, right atrial and aortic pressures were measured, and coronary angiograms were recorded at baseline and 1 to 4 minutes after each hyperventilation. Samples for dopamine plasma levels were drawn before and throughout the studies. In 3 selected patients, levodopa and carbidopa were associated with 30 mg of domperidone, an antagonist of dopamine peripheral receptors. Levodopa and carbidopa consistently prevented the occurrence of ischemia after hyperventilation in 6 of the 15 patients. This was due to inhibition of local coronary spasm in 2 patients and reduced coronary constriction in 4. Ischemia due to hyperventilation was still prevented despite addition of domperidone with levodopa and carbidopa. Plasma dopamine levels were 23 +/- 15 before and 739 +/- 284 pg/ml 2 hours after administration of levodopa and carbidopa. These findings are consistent with either a decreased central dopaminergic activity and associated disregulation of vasomotor tone, or a peripheral vasodilatory effect of increasing dopamine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
A new technique for recording His bundle and right branch potential through the veins of the arm instead of by the femoral route is described. Recordings were carried out in 70 patients. In 10, His potential was recorded simultaneously by the femoral and brachial routes. Potentials proved to be similar as regards morphology and duration; A-V conduction time proved identical while there were slight variations in His node conduction time since the atriogram revealed varying intrinsic deflexions. It is thus possible to confirm that the recording of His potential by the brachial route offers various advantages: 1) it takes less time than the femoral route; 2) it is an excellent alternative if, for various reasons, the patient cannot be examined by the femoral route; 3) His potential can be monitored more easily because of the greater stability of the catheter and the provisional electrosimulation using the same catheter when necessary; 4) contemporaneous recording of right branch and His bundle potential is possible in association with the femoral technique with better results than those obtained using multipolar catheters; 5) it is without complications: i.e. the phlebitis, phlebothrombosis, a-v fistula, and pulmonary emboly which, however rarely, may occur when using the femoral route.

- Abstract
78 patients who underwent disc prostheses replacement, 36 in mitral area, 58 in aortic area were studied by echocardiography. The Authors found 5 cases of malfunction, 3 in mitral area and 2 in aortic area. Regarding mitral malfunctions in 1 case a valve thrombosis was found; in 2 cases there was a partial leak. Regarding aortic malfunctions there was paravalvular leak. In mitral area malfunctions the Authors found alterations of the disc morphology during diastolic opening time associated with alteration of opening time. An increased diastolic closure velocity in 2 cases of paraprosthetic leak was found. A diagnostic element in the case with thrombosis was variability of maximal disc escursion during the same recording, because opening time variability never got over 10 m. seconds. In aortic area malfunctions the Authors found a constant fluttering of anterior mitral leaflet, a sinergic septal motion with the posterior wall and in 1 case the presence of disc opening before the first component of the first sound. The Authors underline the importance of simultaneous eco-phonocardiographic examination and the check-ups for the time to be.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hyperventilation (HV) and of ic nitroglycerin (NTG) on coronary diameters and hemodynamics in 32 patients with angina pectoris. Of these, 10 patients had stable angina and critical coronary artery disease (CAD, Group I), 12 patients with variant angina (VA) and no or minor coronary atherosclerosis (Group II), and 10 patients with angina and normal coronary arteries (syndrome X (SX), Group III). All patients underwent coronary angiography as well as right heart catheterization; measurements of left anterior descending coronary diameters (mid segment), great cardiac vein blood flow, aortic pressure and coronary resistance were performed on baseline, after HV and following NTG. HV caused coronary spasm in 4 patients with VA and significantly (p less than 0.001) reduced coronary diameters and regional blood flow both in Groups II and III, but not in Group I. NTG resulted in increased coronary diameters in all patients, however variations were greater in VA and SX (44 and 39%, respectively) than in Group I (18%; p less than 0.025). NTG induced an increase of coronary blood flow only in patients with CAD. We conclude that patients with VA and SX present a similar coronary response to vasomotor stimuli, either after HV or following NTG. Response is abnormal if compared to that of patients of group I, and it involves both epicardial and intramural coronary vessels. Thus, we suggest that SX and VA belong to a single pathogenetic entity with a spectrum of clinical manifestations.

- Abstract
10 patients with documented heart disease were undergone to atrial pacing (AP) combined to metabolic study. A negative lactate utilization (-%L) noticed in SC (coronary synus) represents a sure proof of a subordinate pacing ischaemia. As the negative lactate utilization is absent a significative reduction of %L during AP or its persistence in recovery and a rise of L/P are further parameters of a subordinate pacing ischaemia. The Authors consider the usefulness of combining a metabolic study to AP in assessing the RC (coronary reserve).

- Abstract
12 patients with normal QRS either in basal condition or during atrial pacing, undergone on single premature atrial stimulation, showed several types of intraventricular aberrancies. These have been revalued with atrial premature stimulation introduced over a progressively increasing frequency of fixed atrial stimulation (extrastimulus method), sometimes after atropine. In 9 cases it was possible to eliminate completely the above mentioned aberrancies, having thus a clear reduction of the refractory periods regarding their responsible structures. In 3 cases this was not possible, owing to a less significant reduction of the refractory periods. Such fenomenon is considered as the only parameter able to identify probable initial organic facts of the His-Purkinje system.

- Abstract
An unusual instance of transient prosthesis breakdown in a 29-yr-old woman with two L-Kaster disk prostheses for mitro-aortic defect is reported. The ECHO and polygraphic traces observed during and after breakdown are examined. It is considered that the breakdown which occurred in one prostheis only, was attributable to a small, internal thrombosis with embolism of the right lower extremity.
