1.
A pilot study to assess the effects of a guided imagery audiotape intervention on psychological outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Stein T, Olivo E, Grand S, Namerow P, Costa J, Oz M
Holist Nurs Pract . 2010 Jul; 24(4):213-22. PMID: 20588130
Depression and anxiety are associated with increased risk of postoperative cardiac events and death in patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery. These risks persist even several months...

"Indeterminate" microvolt T-wave alternans tests predict high risk of death or sustained ventricular arrhythmias in patients with left ventricular dysfunction
Kaufman E, Bloomfield D, Steinman R, Namerow P, Costantini O, Cohen R, et al.
J Am Coll Cardiol . 2006 Oct; 48(7):1399-404. PMID: 17010802
Objectives: This study tested the hypothesis that an "indeterminate" microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) test, when due to ectopy, unsustained MTWA, or low exercise heart rate (HR), has prognostic significance similar...
3.
Microvolt T-wave alternans and the risk of death or sustained ventricular arrhythmias in patients with left ventricular dysfunction
Bloomfield D, Thomas Bigger J, Steinman R, Namerow P, Parides M, Curtis A, et al.
J Am Coll Cardiol . 2006 Jan; 47(2):456-63. PMID: 16412877
Objectives: This study hypothesized that microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) improves selection of patients for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) prophylaxis, especially by identifying patients who are not likely to benefit. Background: Many...

Coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with low ejection fraction
Topkara V, Cheema F, Kesavaramanujam S, Mercando M, Cheema A, Namerow P, et al.
Circulation . 2005 Sep; 112(9 Suppl):I344-50. PMID: 16159844
Background: Patients with low ejection fraction (EF) are at a higher risk for postoperative complications and mortality. Our objective was to assess the effect of low EF on clinical outcomes...
5.
Microvolt T-wave alternans distinguishes between patients likely and patients not likely to benefit from implanted cardiac defibrillator therapy: a solution to the Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial (MADIT) II conundrum
Bloomfield D, Steinman R, Namerow P, Parides M, Davidenko J, Kaufman E, et al.
Circulation . 2004 Sep; 110(14):1885-9. PMID: 15451804
Background: In 2003, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services recommended QRS duration as a means to identify MADIT II-like patients suitable for implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD) therapy. We compared...

Alendronate versus calcitriol for the prevention of bone loss after cardiac transplantation
Shane E, Addesso V, Namerow P, McMahon D, Lo S, Staron R, et al.
N Engl J Med . 2004 Feb; 350(8):767-76. PMID: 14973216
Background: Osteoporosis is a well-known complication of cardiac transplantation. We conducted a randomized trial comparing alendronate with calcitriol for the prevention of bone loss during the first year after cardiac...

Massage therapy for patients undergoing cardiac catheterization
Okvat H, Oz M, Ting W, Namerow P
Altern Ther Health Med . 2002 May; 8(3):68-70, 72, 74-5. PMID: 12017502
Context: Anxiety and its pharmacological treatment can interfere with cardiac catheterization. Massage therapy has been used primarily in nonmedical settings for relaxation and stress reduction, and some research demonstrates its...
