Coenzyme Q10: The Cardiac Bio-energizer in Cardiovascular Diseases-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Cardiology Abstract This systematic review is aimed to identify, evaluate and summarize the role of oral Coenzyme Q10 supplementation in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). CoQ10 is concentrated primarily in the cellular mitochondria where it functions as a co-factor transferring electrons from Complex I to Complex II, III ultimately resulting in the formation of energy in the form of ATP. Coenzyme Q10 an endogenous antioxidant declines in our body because of various factors like aging, diseases and use of certain drugs like statins, beta-blockers which exacerbate its deficiency. Deficiency of this important endogenous antioxidant CoQ10 results in energy depleted state. Published data and research have suggested that Coenzyme Q10 an endogenous antioxidant has a potential for being used in the prevention and treatment of CVDs, in particular in Heart failure and Ischemic heart disease. Supplementation with CoQ10 ...

Hybrid and Robotic-Assisted Coronary Artery Revascularization Compared to Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Revascularization-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Cardiology Abstract Objectives: Data were evaluated to compare hybrid and robotic revascularization procedures with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting for the treatment of multi vessel coronary artery disease. Background: Hybrid coronary revascularization provides an alternative approach to conventional coronary artery bypass graft and percutaneous intervention revascularization therapies. Data comparing the two strategies are limited. Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on patients who underwent coronary revascularization by hybrid, robotic alone or conventional coronary artery bypass grafting from 2003 through 2014 at the University of Minnesota medical center by a single operator Results: A total of 399 patients were included in the comparison with 31 hybrid, 68 robotic-only and 300 conventional coronary bypass patients. Mean OR times and hospital stay durations were decreased for hybrid and robot...

Heart Failure-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Cardiology Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. The cardinal manifestations of HF are dyspnea and fatigue, which may limit exercise tolerance, and fluid retention, which may lead to pulmonary congestion and peripheral edema [1]. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice, accounting for approximately one third of admissions resulting from cardiac rhythm disturbances [2]. Introduction The association between AF and heart failure was appreciated almost a century ago [3]; Paul Dudley White noted, “Since auricular fibrillation so often complicates very serious heart disease, its occurrence may precipitate heart failure or even death, unless successful therapy is quickly instituted [4]. The reported prevalence of AF in modern he...

Impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Cardiac Electric Remodeling and its Clinical and Echocardiographic Correlation-Juniper Publishers

Image
Juniper Publishers - Journal of Cardiology Abstract Aim: impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy on cardiac electric remodeling and its clinical and echocardiographic correlation. Patients and Methods: 50 patients candidate for CRT were included and assessed before and 3 months after implantation by history taking, clinical examination, transthoracic echocardiogram, ECG and six minutes walk test. Results: 50 patients (35 males and 15 females, mean age 54.88±7.48 years) with implanted CRT. All patients were in sinus rhythm, QRS duration ≥120 ms and LBBB. There was clinical response to CRT as NYHA class improved p<0.001 and 6 min walk test p<0.001, electrocardiographic response where apart from RR interval, there were significant differences in QRSD, QT, QTc, QTd, and TPE between pre and post CRT measurements (P<0.001) and echocardiographic response as LV volume improved in 78%, EF in 14% and change (ΔQRSD) significantly correlated with changes in N...
