Is electrophysiological study generally negative in patients < 40 years suspected of supraventricular tachycardia but also complaining of chest pain and/or syncope?
Among patients complaining of nondocumented tachycardia, suspected of SVT, the association of tachycardia with chest pain and/or syncope and age <40 years generally was correlated with a negative EPS and did not indicate initially invasive studies. In the remaining patients transesophageal EPS is indicated.
We found that serum sCD14 levels increased significantly with increasing liver inflammation grade in patients with NAFLD, reflecting increased hepatic CD14 expression. Serum sCD14 is a promising tool to predict the worsening of liver inflammation, and may offer a potential biomarker for evaluation of therapeutic effects in NAFLD.
