Background Variants of the angiotensinogen gene may increase the risk of having arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease (CHD), but their effect on insulin resistance remains unknown. Methods We determined M235 and T174 allele status and fasting plasma glucose, insulin, and lipids values in nondiabetic men with CHD documented on angiography (n = 102) and in a control group (n = 145). Plasma...
Objective: This study was to clarify the associations of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene polymorphism and insulin resistance syndrome in nondiabetic men with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods: One hundred and two men with angiographically documented CHD and 145 normal men were selected for LPL gene determinations by Pvu II and Hind III enzymes. Forty-six patients (45%) with CHD received metabolic...
Background: Complete or incomplete isthmus conduction block (CB, ICB) is difficult to interpret without detailed multiple electrodes mapping along the tricuspid annulus and isthmus area. To date, a simple and powerful predictor of isthmus CB is lacking. We hypothesize that distal coronary sinus (DCS) is almost activated via CS orifice (OCS) during pacing from low right atrial posterolateral (RPL)...
Precise effects of antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) on the human atrial flutter (AFL) circuit are unknown. We study the effects of propafenone (PRO) and amiodarone (AMI) on the right atrial isthmus (IS) and free wall (FW) in 24 patients (pts) with typical AFL (Group I) and 20 pts without AFL (Group II). A 20-pole Halo catheter was placed around the tricuspid anulus. Incremental pacing from the low lateral...
