Impact of nocturnal blood pressure dip** on recurrence of atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein isolation
Lack of the typical nocturnal blood pressure (BP) fall, i.e non-dipper, has been known as a cardiovascular risk. However, the influence of non-dipper...

Feasibility of eccentric overloading and neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve muscle strength and muscle mass after treatment for head and neck cancer
PurposeTreatment of head and neck cancer (HNC) results in severe weight loss, mainly due to the loss of lean body mass. Consequently, decreases in...

Severe low-gradient aortic stenosis: impact of inadequate left ventricular responses to high afterload on diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making
The fact that nearly 50% of patients with an aortic valve (AV) area < 1.0 cm 2 , consistent with severe aortic stenosis (AS), can have mean trans-AV...
