Excessive sinus pauses and their elimination in a patient with sleep apnea syndrome.

Abstract:

:A 40-year-old man with severe sleep apnoea syndrome presented significant sinus pauses during a 48 h electrocardiogram Holter recording. Holter analysis showed one sinus pause of 6.4 s duration, and many pauses greater than 3 s. The 48 h Holter reevaluation, after a continuous positive air pressure device was applied, showed no pauses. The electrophysiological study was negative for sick sinus syndrome.

  • Intravenous mesenchymal stem cell therapy early after reperfused acute myocardial infarction improves left ventricular function and alters electrophysiologic properties.

    abstract:UNLABELLED:Direct intramyocardial injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improves left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and may increase ventricular arrhythmia in hearts with myocardial infarction (MI). We hypothesized that intravenous MSCs given early after acute MI would engraft in injured myocardium, improve...
