Article Synopsis
- Arginase inhibition in an animal model of myocardial infarction results in increased plasma citrulline and a higher citrulline/ornithine (C/O) ratio, while decreasing plasma ornithine and the ornithine/arginine (O/A) ratio.
- In a study of 100 myocardial infarction patients, those with thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) lesions had a significantly lower C/O ratio and alterations in intima-media thickness were correlated with changes in arginine metabolites at 6 months post-MI.
- The findings suggest that increased arginase activity, as opposed to nitric oxide synthase, may be related to the presence of TCFA in heart lesions and a thicker int
Unlabelled: The aim of study was to evaluate an influence of recurrent syncope episodes on the neurocognitive functions (NCF) in patients with suspected VVS.
Aim: The aim of study was to evaluate an influence of recurrent syncope episodes on the neurocognitive functions (NCF) in patients with suspected VVS.
Materials And Methods: Study population: 24 pts.
Background: Head-up tilt testing (HUTT) is a well-established method for the diagnosis of reflex syncope. Some controversies exist whether gender and HUTT protocol influence HUTT results.
Aim: To analyse the results of HUTT in patients with syncope in relation to their gender and used protocol of HUTT.
Aim: Evaluation of sinus and atrioventricular nodes function as a potential factor responsible for prolonged bradycardia, asystole, or both in patients with cardioinhibitory and non-cardioinhibitory vasovagal syncope (VVS). The study included 258 patients (mean age = 47.7 +/- 17.

Clinical significance of exercise-induced ST-segment changes in lead aVR and V1 during strongly positive electrocardiographic exercise test (EET) in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris remains unclear. The aim of the study was to assess the value of lead aVR and V1 on the exercise electrocardiogram for the detection of left main coronary artery stenosis (LMCAS) and its equivalent (LMCASE) in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris and the strongly positive EET result.
