Pacemakers are more commonly recommended than theophylline for sick sinus syndrome (SSS) treatment. The positive effects of cilostazol on bradyarrhythmias also have been reported. However, no comparison of cilostazol and theophylline has been previously reported found. We retrospectively enrolled SSS patients, who refused a pacemaker implantation. Theophylline or cilostazol was administered, and the heart rate (HR) was evaluated in 4-8 weeks using a digital sphygmomanometer and the electrocardio

INTRODUCTION: The INCRAFT™ Stent Graft System is a trimodular, bifurcated, ultra-low-profile endovascular device designed for endovascular aneurysm repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study population comprised a prospective multi-center cohort (n = 85) and a single-center retrospective cohort (n = 61) of Korean AAA patients treated with INCRAFT. Postprocedural follow-up involved computed tomography (CT) imaging at 1 and 12 months post-procedure to

Abstract Background and Aims Female rats excrete more urine sodium than male rats with similar blood pressure (BP). However, it is not clear whether the sex difference in pressure natriuresis is conserved in menopausal rats. We assessed whether the natriuretic response and renal sodium transporter activity in ovariectomized female rats infused with angiotensin II (ANGII) could be affected by estrogen supplementation. Method Six-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=30) were ovariectomized (OVX,

BACKGROUND: Beyond average blood pressure (BP) levels, short-term BP fluctuations may carry important prognostic information. However, the clinical significance of within-visit BP changes remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association between within-visit BP changes and clinical outcomes. METHODS: We analyzed data from the UK Biobank. BP was measured twice, with at least 1 minute between measurements, while participants were seated. Within-visit BP changes were defined as the abso
