Congenital coronary artery anomalies silent until geriatric age: non-invasive assessment, angiography tips, and treatment
(2015-01)
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) may be discovered more often as incidental findings during the normal diagnostic process for other cardiac diseases or less frequently on the basis of manifestations of myocardial ischemia. ...
Discharge β-Blocker Use and Race after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2014-04)
Introduction: The use of discharge β-blockers after cardiac surgery is associated with a long-term mortality benefit. β-Blockers have been suggested to be less effective in black cardiovascular patients compared with whites. ...
The Effect of Race and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on Long-Term Survival after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2013-04)
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a known predictor of decreased long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Differences in survival by race have not been examined.
Methods: ...
Role of Barium Swallow in Diagnosing Clinically Significant Anastomotic Leak following Esophagectomy
(2016-04)
Background
Barium swallow is performed following esophagectomy to evaluate the anastomosis for detection of leaks and to assess the emptying of the gastric conduit. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability ...
Ambient PM Exposure Up-regulates the Expression of Costimulatory Receptors on Circulating Monocytes in Diabetic Individuals
(2011-06)
BACKGROUND:
Exposure of humans to air pollutants such as ozone and particulate matter (PM) may result in airway and systemic inflammation and altered immune function. One putative mechanism may be through modification of ...
Racial Differences in Survival among Hemodialysis Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
(2013-09)
The aim of this study was to examine racial differences in long-term survival among hemodialysis patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). To our knowledge this has not been previously addressed in the literature. ...
Peripheral Arterial Disease and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke: The Multi�Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
(2014-12)
