G protein-coupled receptor kinase 5 gene polymorphisms are associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients receiving β-blockers.

Other Circ Cardiovasc Genet · October 2014 BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that genetic variations in the adrenergic signaling pathway and cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme are associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and were treated with pe ...

CT metrics of airway disease and emphysema in severe COPD.

Other Chest · August 2009 BACKGROUND: CT scan measures of emphysema and airway disease have been correlated with lung function in cohorts of subjects with a range of COPD severity. The contribution of CT scan-assessed airway disease to objective measures of lung function and respir ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cerebral embolization during cardiac surgery: impact of aortic atheroma burden.

Other Br J Anaesth · November 2003 BACKGROUND: Aortic atheromatous disease is known to be associated with an increased risk of perioperative stroke in the setting of cardiac surgery. In this study, we sought to determine the relationship between cerebral microemboli and aortic atheroma burd ... Full text Link to item Cite

Serum creatinine patterns in coronary bypass surgery patients with and without postoperative cognitive dysfunction.

Other Anesth Analg · July 2002 UNLABELLED: Renal dysfunction is common after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. We have previously shown that CABG procedures complicated by stroke have a threefold greater peak serum creatinine level relative to uncomplicated surgery. However, ... Full text Link to item Cite

The rewarming rate and increased peak temperature alter neurocognitive outcome after cardiac surgery.

Other Anesth Analg · January 2002 UNLABELLED: Neurocognitive dysfunction is a common complication after cardiac surgery. We evaluated in this prospective study the effect of rewarming rate on neurocognitive outcome after hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). After IRB approval and info ...
