Methods We examined 50 healthy subjects(range 12-42 years,mean age 28.3 ± 6.9 years)using pulsed Doppler tissue imaging to characterize the diastolic and systolic velocity profiles of mitral annulus. Recordings were made along the long axis in the apical 4-chamber, 2-chamber, and long apical views of 6 sites(posterior-septum, lateral, anterior, inferior, anterior-septum, posterior)at the mitral annulus. Myocardial velocities were determined with use of variance F statistical analysis. Correlation analysis was employed to test the relationship between age and mitral annular velocities. Results Both early diastolic and systolic velocities at the septum were lower than other sites. There were no differences in mitral annulus late diastolic velocities. Mean early diastolic and systolic velocities was negatively correlated with age. Conclusions Doppler tissue imaging can directly reflect regional left ventricular function.展开更多

The purpose of this paper is to study LVH in relation to systolic blood pressure and the angiotensin converting enzyme （ACE） insertion/deletion（I/D） polymorphism in Chinese. Methods We recorded 12- lead ECG （CardioSoft, v4.2） in 1365 residents in the Jingning County, Zhejiang Province, China. LVH was defined according to the gender-specific Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell product ECG criteria. Results Regardless of whether the Sokolow-Lyon or Cornell product ECG criteria was used, the prevalence of LVH （20.7% and 4.8%, respectively） significantly （P〈0.0001） increased with male gender （odds ratio [OR] 2.33 and 7.15） and systolic blood pressure （per 10 mm Hg increase, OR 1.46 and 1.33）. If the Sokolow-Lyon criteria was used, the prevalence of LVH was also influenced by alcohol intake （OR 1.44, P=-0.03） and body mass index （OR 0.83, P=0.0005）. The association between the Sokolow-Lyon voltage amplitude and the ACE I/D polymorphism was dependent on antihypertensive therapy （P=0.01）. In 1262 untreated subjects, but not 103 patients on antihypertensive medication, the ACE DD compared with II subjects had significantly higher Sokolow-Lyon voltage amplitudes （29.8：-0.6 vs. 28.0-3：0.5 mV, P=-0.02） and higher risk of LVH （OR 1.74, 95% CI： 1.12-2.69, P=-0.01）. Conclusion LVH is prevalent in Chinese, and is associated with systolic blood pressure and the ACE D allele. The genetic association might be modulated by antihypertensive therapy（J Geriatr Cardio12009; 6：131-136）.展开更多

The polysemous character makes it sensitive and complex phenomena. For instance, value that is acceptable in the western part of Nigeria may be unacceptable in the north or east. This clearly implies that value, although may be of the people, is relative and subjective. This study made use of survey research design with a single research question set to guide it. Data were collected from 362 respondents who were purposively selected in the study area （Lagos State, Nigeria） as sample size. Data gathering were done on the field with the aid of questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics. Specifically, a Table of frequency and percentage distribution was employed and scoring of variables was done vis-h-vis the responses of the consumers of staple commodities to look at the extent to which societal values have influenced product advertisements in the State. The Mean and standard deviation was calculated. The result of the study presented in Table 1 shows that all the societal values scoped for this study （culture, moral, religion, taste, language and color） influence consumers in one way or the other but the portrayal of religious design concept to influence consumers to patronize staple commodities ranked best of all. The study observed that of all the societal values traceable to advertising campaign in Lagos State, religion-inclined advertising designs are gaining a rising number of influences. It therefore concludes that religious and cultural designs, when appropriately applied help outdoor advertising to thrive well in Lagos State.展开更多

A recent genome-wide association study reported the involvement of a candidate gene namely KCNBI in mechanism for development of LVH in hypertension. This study aimed to replicate the finding by investigating the genetic association of KCNBI gene among the hypertensive LVH patients from Malaysia. We genotyped a SNP （single nucleotide polymorphism） located in KCNBI namely, rs6063397 among 200 subjects consisting of61 LVH and 139 non LVH patients using Sanger sequencing method. Statistical analysis revealed no significant association between the L VH susceptibility between the allele and genotype frequencies （P = 0.2719 and 0.4768, respectively）. This finding suggests that KCNBI may not playa role in LVH susceptibility in hypertensive patients in Southeast Asian populations.展开更多

This meta-analysis was designed to systematically evaluate the influence of amiodarone, lidocaine, or placebo on the incidence of VF after ACC. Methods： Prospective randomized controlled trials（RCTs） that compared the VF-preventative effects of amiodarone with lidocaine, or amiodarone or lidocaine with placebo were included. Pub Med, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant RCTs. Fixed or randomized effect models were applied according to the heterogeneity of the data from the selected studies. Results： We included eight RCTs in the analysis. Pooled results suggested that the preventative effects of amiodarone and lidocaine were comparable（relative risk（RR）=1.12, 95% confidence interval（CI）： 0.70 to 1.80, P=0.63）, but both were superior to the placebo（amiodarone, RR=0.71, 95% CI： 0.51 to 1.00, P=0.05; lidocaine, RR=0.63, 95% CI： 0.46 to 0.88, P=0.006）. The percentage of patients requiring electric defibrillation counter shocks（DCSs） did not differ significantly among patients administered amiodarone（RR=0.21, 95% CI： 0.04 to 1.19, P=0.08）, lidocaine（RR=2.44, 95% CI： 0.13 to 44.02, P=0.55）, or the placebo（RR=0.56, 95% CI： 0.25 to 1.25, P=0.16）. Conclusions： Amiodarone and lidocaine are comparably effective in preventing VF after ACC, but the percentage of patients who subsequently require DCSs does not differ among those administered amiodarone, lidocaine, or placebo.展开更多
