Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation after stroke and transient ischaemic attack: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 4 March 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Luciano A Sposato , Lauren E Cipriano , Gustavo Saposnik , Estefanía Ruíz Vargas , Patricia M Riccio , Vladimir Hachinski Background Among patients with atrial fibrillation, the risk of stroke is highest for those with a history of stroke; however, oral anticoagulants can lower the risk of recurrent stroke by two-thirds. No consensus has been reached about how atrial fibrillation should be investigated in patients with stroke, and its prevalence after a stroke remains uncertain. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimat...

AliveCor raises $30m, launches Kardia Pro platform in U.S.
AliveCor said today that it landed $30 million in a series D funding round and that it released its artificial intelligence-enabled Kardia Pro platform in the U.S. The company’s platform enables doctors to remotely monitor their patients for early signs of atrial fibrillation, a common cardiac arrhythmia. “Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined. To manage heart disease and stroke risk, leading cardiologists want to see more than just ECGs from their patients,” CEO Vic Gundotra said in prepared remarks. “Kardia Pro tracks important meas...

Assessment of functional capacity before major non-cardiac surgery: an international, prospective cohort study
Publication date: 30 June–6 July 2018 Source:The Lancet, Volume 391, Issue 10140 Author(s): Duminda N Wijeysundera, Rupert M Pearse, Mark A Shulman, Tom E F Abbott, Elizabeth Torres, Althea Ambosta, Bernard L Croal, John T Granton, Kevin E Thorpe, Michael P W Grocott, Catherine Farrington, Paul S Myles, Brian H Cuthbertson Background Functional capacity is an important component of risk assessment for major surgery. Doctors' clinical subjective assessment of patients' functional capacity has uncertain accuracy. We did a study to compare preoperative subjective assessment with alternative markers of fitness (cardiopulmon...

YiQiFuMai Powder Injection Attenuates Coronary Artery Ligation-Induced Heart Failure Through Improving Mitochondrial Function via Regulating ROS Generation and CaMKII Signaling Pathways
This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, National Institutes of Health.” The protocol was approved by the “China Pharmaceutical University.” Surgical Preparation The mice were anesthetized with chloral hydrate (4% chloral hydrate, ip). The HF model was induced by CAL as previously reported (Gao et al., 2010). Successful ligation of the coronary artery was confirmed by the occurrence of ST-segment elevation in electrocardiogram. Sham operated mice were performed the same process except left CAL. After ligation, the h...
