Andrew P. Ambrosy, Susanna R. Stevens, Hussein R. Al‐Khalidi, Jean L. Rouleau, more

European Journal of Heart Failure > 21 > 3 > 373 - 381

Aims The landmark STICH trial found that surgical revascularization compared to medical therapy alone improved survival in patients with heart failure (HF) of ischaemic aetiology and an ejection fraction (EF) ≤ 35%. However, the interaction between the burden of medical co‐morbidities and the benefit from surgical revascularization has not been previously described in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy...

International Journal of Cardiology > 2018 > 264 > C > 165-169

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are rare in young women. The purpose of this study was to characterize risk factors (RF) predisposing to ACS in young women and evaluate possible age-related differences.We studied 1941 young women with ACS aged ≤45 years (≤45ACS) from the PL-ACS registry and compared them with two control groups: 4275 women aged 63–64 years with ACS (63-64ACS) from the PL-ACS registry...

Hospital-based and telemonitoring guided home-based training programs: Effects on exercise tolerance and quality of life in patients with heart failure (NYHA class III) and cardiac resynchronization therapy. A randomized, prospective observation.

Edyta Smolis-Bąk, Rafał Dąbrowski, Ewa Piotrowicz, Tomasz Chwyczko, more

International Journal of Cardiology > 2015 > 199 > Complete > 442-447

Cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator function (CRT-D) along with an optimal medical therapy improves symptoms, cardiac efficiency, quality of life (QoL) and prognosis in patients with heart failure (CHF). The aim of the study was to assess effects of hospital-based and home-based/telemonitoring exercise training.The prospective, randomized study was conducted in 52 patients (pts),...

Importance of Angina in Patients With Coronary Disease, Heart Failure, and Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction

E. Marc Jolicœur, Allison Dunning, Serenella Castelvecchio, Rafal Dabrowski, more

Journal of the American College of Cardiology > 2015 > 66 > 19 > 2092-2100

Patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, coronary artery disease (CAD), and angina are often thought to have a worse prognosis and a greater prognostic benefit from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery than those without angina.This study investigated: 1) whether angina was associated with a worse prognosis; 2) whether angina identified patients who had a greater survival benefit...

Prospective assessment of cytokine IL-15 activity in patients with refractory atrial fibrillation episodes

Anna Borowiec, Ewa Kontny, Edyta Smolis-Bąk, Ilona Kowalik, more

Cytokine > 2015 > 74 > 1 > 164-170

Inflammatory state is considered a risk factor of atrial fibrillation (AF) occurrence. The aim of this study was a prospective evaluation of the inflammation parameters in patients with different forms of AF without structural heart disease.One hundred fifty-eight patients with paroxysmal/persistent AF (87; 55.1% men, mean age 65.8±9.6years) without structural heart disease were enrolled in the study...

Possibilities of the Practical Application of Remote Sensing Data in Real Property Appraisal

Rafał Dąbrowski, Dorota Latos

Real Estate Management and Valuation > 2015 > 23 > 2 > 68-76

In the process of real estate evaluation, there are many important elements that should be taken into consideration: for example the type of property which is under evaluation, real estate market analysis, and the selection of appropriate evaluation approaches, methods and techniques. In each of the approaches, different parameters are important. Most importantly, however, is the appropriate selection...

Potential Prevention of Pacing‐Induced Heart Failure Using Simple Pacemaker Programming Algorithm

Tomasz Chwyczko, Rafał Dąbrowski, Aleksander Maciąg, Maciej Sterliński, more

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology > 18 > 4 > 369 - 378

IntroductionRight ventricular pacing (RVP) causes ventricular desynchronization and may lead to the development of heart failure (HF). Prolongation of atrioventricular delay (AVD) in DDDR pacemakers reduces unnecessary RV stimulation. The aim of the study was to verify the influence of RVP reduction on HF symptoms. MethodsThe study comprised 31 patients (17 men, mean age: 71.6 ± 8 yrs) with DDDR...

Variants of the Lamin A/C (LMNA) Gene in Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Michal Saj, Rafal Dabrowski, Sarah Labib, Agnieszka Jankowska, more

Molecular Diagnosis & Therapy > 2012 > 16 > 2 > 99-107

Background and Objective: Lamin A/C (LMNA) gene mutations cause dilated cardiomyopathy, often accompanied by conduction disturbances. Our aim was to search for LMNA mutations in individuals with atrial fibrillation. Methods: A cohort of Polish subjects (N = 103) with non-valvular atrial fibrillation with a high (48.5%) prevalence of conduction system disturbances was screened for LMNA variants by...

Effect of Combined Spironolactone–β-Blocker ± Enalapril Treatment on Occurrence of Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation Episodes in Patients With a History of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (SPIR-AF Study)

Rafal Dabrowski, Anna Borowiec, Edyta Smolis-Bak, Ilona Kowalik, more

The American Journal of Cardiology > 2010 > 106 > 11 > 1609-1614

Angiotensin II and aldosterone are key factors responsible for the structural and neurohormonal remodeling of the atria and ventricles in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antiarrhythmic effects of spironolactone compared to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors in patients with recurrent AF. A cohort of 164 consecutive patients (mean age 66...

Coronary artery stent placement as a treatment of acute coronary syndrome in course of variant angina

Cezary Sosnowski, Rafał Dąbrowski, Andrzej Wiernikowski, Marek Rewicki, more

International Journal of Cardiology > 2006 > 108 > 2 > 259-261

High doses of calcium antagonists and nitrates are the treatment of choice in vasospasm angina when no stenosis or mild stenosis is present. In ca. 5–30% patients this kind of treatment is not effective. We present five cases of variant angina with acute coronary syndrome in patients despite standard pharmacological treatment. These patients also did not respond for intracoronary nitroglycerine injection...
