Abstract

Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents summarize and evaluate all available evidence with the aim of assisting physicians in selecting the best management strategy for an individual patient suffering from a given condition, taking into account the impact on outcome and the risk benefit ratio of diagnostic or therapeutic means. Guidelines are no substitutes for textbooks and their legal implications have been discussed previously. Guidelines and recommendations should help physicians to make decisions in their daily practice. However, the ultimate judgement regarding the care of an individual patient must be made by his/her responsible physician(s). The recommendations for formulating and issuing ESC Guidelines and Expert Consensus Documents can be found on the ESC website (http://www.escardio.org/knowledge/ guidelines/rules). Members of this Task Force were selected by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) to represent all physicians involved with the medical and surgical care of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A critical evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is performed including assessment of the risk benefit ratio. Estimates of expected health outcomes for society are included, where data exist. The level of evidence and the strength of recommendation of particular treatment options are weighed and graded according to predefined scales, as outlined in Tables 1 and 2. The members of the Task Force have provided disclosure statements of all relationships that might be perceived as real or potential sources of conflicts of interest. These disclosure forms are kept on file at European Heart House, headquarters of the ESC. Any changes in conflict of interest that arose during the writing period were notified to the ESC. The Task Force report received its entire financial support from the ESC and EACTS, without any involvement of the pharmaceutical, device, or surgical industry. ESC and EACTS Committees for Practice Guidelines are responsible for the endorsement process of these joint Guidelines. The finalized document has been approved by all the experts involved in the Task Force, and was submitted to outside specialists selected by both societies for review. The document is revised, and finally approved by ESC and EACTS and subsequently published simultaneously in the European Heart Journal and the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. After publication, dissemination of the Guidelines is of paramount importance. Pocket-sized versions and personal digital assistant-downloadable versions are useful at the point of care. Some surveys have shown that the intended users are sometimes unaware of the existence of guidelines, or simply do not translate them into practice. Thus, implementation programmes are needed because it has been shown that the outcome of disease may be favourably influenced by the thorough application of clinical recommendations.

Abstract

AIMS: The ESC-HF Pilot survey was aimed to describe clinical epidemiology and 1-year outcomes of outpatients and inpatients with heart failure (HF). The pilot phase was also specifically aimed at validating structure, performance, and quality of the data set for continuing the survey into a permanent Registry.METHODS: The ESC-HF Pilot study is a prospective, multicentre, observational survey conducted in 136 Cardiology Centres in 12 European countries selected to represent the different health systems across Europe. All outpatients with HF and patients admitted for acute HF on 1 day per week for eight consecutive months were included. From October 2009 to May 2010, 5118 patients were included: 1892 (37%) admitted for acute HF and 3226 (63%) patients with chronic HF. The all-cause mortality rate at 1 year was 17.4% in acute HF and 7.2% in chronic stable HF. One-year hospitalization rates were 43.9% and 31.9%, respectively, in hospitalized acute and chronic HF patients. Major regional differences in 1-year mortality were observed that could be explained by differences in characteristics and treatment of the patients.CONCLUSION: The ESC-HF Pilot survey confirmed that acute HF is still associated with a very poor medium-term prognosis, while the widespread adoption of evidence-based treatments in patients with chronic HF seems to have improved their outcome profile. Differences across countries may be due to different local medical practice as well to differences in healthcare systems. This pilot study also offered the opportunity to refine the organizational structure for a long-term extended European network.

Abstract

The role of coronary-artery bypass grafting (CABG) in the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and heart failure has not been clearly established.Between July 2002 and May 2007, a total of 1212 patients with an ejection fraction of 35% or less and coronary artery disease amenable to CABG were randomly assigned to medical therapy alone (602 patients) or medical therapy plus CABG (610 patients). The primary outcome was the rate of death from any cause. Major secondary outcomes included the rates of death from cardiovascular causes and of death from any cause or hospitalization for cardiovascular causes.The primary outcome occurred in 244 patients (41%) in the medical-therapy group and 218 (36%) in the CABG group (hazard ratio with CABG, 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72 to 1.04; P=0.12). A total of 201 patients (33%) in the medical-therapy group and 168 (28%) in the CABG group died from an adjudicated cardiovascular cause (hazard ratio with CABG, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.00; P=0.05). Death from any cause or hospitalization for cardiovascular causes occurred in 411 patients (68%) in the medical-therapy group and 351 (58%) in the CABG group (hazard ratio with CABG, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.64 to 0.85; P

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections, and myelokathexis (WHIM) syndrome is a rare immunodeficiency disorder with an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance and low fatality rate but significant lifelong morbidity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 27-year-old mother of two children has been suffering from severe neutropenia and recurrent infections with the diagnosis of sporadic WHIM syndrome established by sequencing the CXCR4 gene and the finding of a heterozygous 1000 C-->T nonsense mutation in the second CXCR4 exon. The first child was an apparently healthy boy delivered at full term. Umbilical cord blood cells were obtained for genetic analysis. Peripheral blood cells were also analyzed at 8 months of life. Both analyses revealed the same mutation as that of his mother. The child was in a good condition, manifesting neutropenia without infections until 11 months of life. He subsequently developed pneumonia requiring a more aggressive treatment. After that, the regular substitution of immunoglobulins (IVIGs) and G-CSF has been preventing serious infections. Six months ago the second boy was delivered who also demonstrated neutropenia without severe infections. Genetic studies using cord blood and also peripheral blood cells in the fourth month showed an identical mutation of the CXCR4 gene as in his mother. Moreover, the mother and her first son demonstrated monocytopenia. RESULTS: The results indicate that genetic defects connected with WHIM syndrome may influence not only the granulocyte, but also the monocytic lineage. Moreover, a perinatal diagnosis of WHIM syndrome made by sequencing the CXCR4 gene should be performed in cases where either parent is known to be affected with this disease. CONCLUSIONS: This would facilitate an earlier detection of the deficiency in children, thereby allowing a more comprehensive follow-up and administration of appropriate therapy.

Abstract

Oxidative (oxygen and air) RF-plasma treatment of HDPE was found as an effective tool for improving wettability, as well as for increasing its surface micro-hardness. The latter plasmas generate wide range of reactive species in the system, which undergo consecutive chemical reactions, creating thus several oxygen based functionalities at the interface (carbonyl, carboxyl, ether, peroxide etc.) as were detected by ATR FTIR and XPS analysis. An increased negative surface charge of plasma treated polyethylene (PE) confirms the presence of functional ionogenic groups containing oxygen. Simultaneously, the vigorous increase of the surface roughness was found as a result of the successful plasma etching. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

Monocyte subpopulations which differ in the expression of Fc receptor for human IgG (FcRI) differentially regulate the T-cell-dependent, pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-induced, polyclonal B-cell response. We, thus, studied the cytokine production in human peripheral blood monocyte and T-lymphocyte cultures activated with this lectin. Monocytes or their FcR+ and FcR- subpopulations stimulated with PWM were cultured with or without T lymphocytes or their CD4+ and CD8+ subsets. Both monocyte subpopulations cultured alone produced similar amounts of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), but FcR- monocytes showed significantly enhanced ability to secrete interleukin-1 (IL-1). T cells, especially CD4+, added to monocyte cultures enhanced IL-1 production. This enhancement was presumably due to interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) release by T lymphocytes, since this lymphokine enhanced IL-1 secretion when added to PWM-stimulated cultures of monocytes. Addition of monocytes, in particular the FcR+ subpopulation, greatly enhanced production of IFN-gamma by T lymphocytes. Although both T-cell subsets produced IFN-gamma, the CD4+ cells were more efficient. These results indicate that in PWM-stimulated cultures subpopulations of monocytes differ in secretion of cytokines, which might explain their differential effect on T-cell-dependent immune responses in vitro.

Abstract

Monocyte-T-cell interactions were studied in pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-activated cell cultures. We addressed the question of monocyte changes in PWM-stimulated cultures of T cells and monocytes and found, by flow cytometric analysis, that PWM activation led to a loss of cells with monocyte or macrophage phenotype (CD14, HLA-DR, HLA-DQ) within 48 hr of culture in the presence of T cells (CD4+ T cells), but not in cultures of pure monocytes. Chemiluminescence measurements revealed that phagocytic stimulation of monocytic superoxide release was impaired in PWM-stimulated cultures of monocytes plus T cells, but not in PWM-stimulated cultures of pure monocytes. Furthermore, PWM induced the secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in primary cultures of T cells supplemented with 20% of monocytes, whereas in subsequent secondary cultures of these cells PWM induced IFN-gamma only when monocytes were added. We conclude from these flow cytometric and functional analyses that monocytes are efficiently eliminated from PWM-activated T-cell/monocyte cultures by CD4+ T lymphocytes.

Abstract

Five patients with recurrent VT/VF resistant to medical treatment were successfully treated surgically. In 3 patients excision of the altered endocardium by Harken's method (endocardial peeling) was done; in 2 of the patients it was preceded by intraoperative electrophysiological study. Two other patients were treated alternatively: a 45-year old patients with post-MI cardiomyopathy had a cardiac transplantation and a 57-year old patient with good left ventricular function an implantation of a automatic cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD). No patient had VT and/or VF during the 14-35 month follow-up. Exercise tolerance improved in all patients. Good short- and longterm results of surgical treatment show that these methods can be effective in treating patients with life-threatening arrhythmias resistant to pharmacological therapy.
