Do spontaneous electrocardiogram alterations predict ventricular fibrillation in Brugada syndrome?
ECG alterations, especially conversion between types 0 and 1, are associated with significant AP heterogeneity that can initiate VF in BS.
Enzymatic removal of the sialic acid moiety of HPIV receptors inhibits infection with all tested HPIV strains, both in vitro and in cotton rats. Enzyme-mediated removal of sialic acid receptors represents a novel antiviral strategy for HPIV. The results of this study raise the possibility of a broad spectrum antiviral agent for influenza virus and HPIVs.
