Abstract: The aim of this work was to investigate in the rat the protective effect of an oral administration (one week) of Panax ginseng (PG) extract (10 mg/ml in drinking water; 1.6 g/kg/day) on myocardial post-ischemic damage induced by hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and...
Chronic Heart Failure
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Heart Failure.
Pressure delivery of AS-ICAM-1 ODN with LFA-1 mAb reduces reperfusion injury in cardiac allografts.
Abstract: The goal of this study is to determine the effects of ex vivo hyperbaric pressure administration of AS-ICAM-1 ODN and systemic anti-LFA-1 mAb treatment on reperfusion injury in the rat cardiac allograft model. A PVG to ACI functional heterotopic rat heart...
Detection of viable myocardium: comparison of dobutamine echocardiography and echocardiography after hyperbaric oxygenation.
Abstract: The study concerned the possibility of using echocardiography after hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO2) to detect viable myocardium. Results were compared with dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE). Seventeen patients with left ventricular dysfunction were...
Mitochondrial DNA mutations and age.
Abstract: Apopotic cell death is reported to be prominent in the stable tissues of the failing heart, in cardiomyopathies (CM), in the sinus node of complete heart block, in B cells of diabetes mellitus, and in neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, mitochondrial (mt)...
Hyperbaric oxygen and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction: the ‘HOT MI’ randomized multicenter study.
Abstract: In a previous pilot study, we demonstrated that adjunctive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) appears to be feasible and safe in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and may result in an attenuated rise in creatine phosphokinase (CPK), more...

Ex vivo gene therapy prevents chronic graft vascular disease in cardiac allografts.
Abstract: We hypothesized that ex vivo hyperbaric transfection of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides for blockade of intercellular adhesion molecule-1, an important mediator of cell adhesion and T-cell co-stimulation, would reduce chronic graft vascular disease in...
[Use of antihypoxants in the acute period of myocardial infarction].
Abstract: A total of 620 patients with acute myocardial infarction were followed up in order to assess the efficacy of antihypoxants as a component of intensive care. 385 of these patients, divided into groups of 20-40 subjects, were administered one of 12...
Functional and ultrastructural evidence of myocardial stunning after acute carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: To study human myocardial ultrastructural changes after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning inducing reversible cardiac failure. clinical, functional and morphologic findings. Public university-affiliated hospital and electron microscopy laboratory. Tritapepe,...
