Abstract Background Eclipsed mitral regurgitation (MR) is a rare, reversible condition that leads to transient severe MR and acute heart failure in patients with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. Its diagnosis challenging due its intermittent presentation, necessitating advanced imaging techniques reveal the underlying pathology. Case Summary We present case of 74-year-old female recurrent associated non-obstructive lesion proximal anterior descending (LAD) artery....
There is evidence that metabolic disease burden in lymphoma influences patient outcome. However, the impact of severity on cardiovascular system unknown.The aim this study was to examine whether associated with arterial inflammation by investigating relationship between and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake.Sixty-two chemotherapy-naïve patients active Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's were matched (2:1) individual control groups previously treated free disease. All underwent 18F-FDG position emission...
Background: Patients with transfusion-dependent-thalassemia (TDT) are considered as increased risk population for severe and/or morbid COVID-19 infection. Timely vaccination is the main preventive method COVID-19. Different adverse events and reactions following have been reported, ones being extremely rare. TDT patients may altered immunity due to chronic transfusions, iron overload chelation therapy, splenic dysfunction. The safety profile of in chronically transfused thalassemia has not...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements None. Background/Introduction Cardiovascular disease and cancer are the leading causes of death worldwide. Both entities share common risk factors. More importantly, main cause after progression is cardiovascular in patients with cancer. Despite recent advancements field cardio-oncology, prognostic factors major adverse events (MACE) remain elusive. Purpose To investigate MACE a single center cardio-oncology registry. Methods Consecutive referred to...
: The widespread use of fluoroquinolones has been associated with the formation, dissection, and rupture aortic aneurysms. Arterial biomarkers are established predictors cardiovascular events. present study was designed to investigate effect quinolones on arterial stiffness size for first time.
Despite advances in the treatment of oncology patients, therapy-related side effects may lead to premature morbidity. Inflammatory activation that has been linked cardiovascular disease is crucial for pathogenesis both Hodgkin (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The purpose this study was assess vascular chemotherapy patients with HL NHL by positron emission tomography/computed tomography 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18-FDG PET/CT) investigate interactions systemic inflammation as assessed...
Vascular toxicity caused by cancer treatment can present as vasospasm, arterial thrombosis, and accelerated atherosclerosis. We report a case of 60-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma under cabozantinib for 3 years who presented to the hospital relapsing episodes rest angina. Due presence ST depression in 12-lead electrocardiogram elevated troponin, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction was suspected. The patient underwent invasive coronary angiography, which revealed...
Abstract Aim Arterial involvement has been implicated in the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) imaging is a valuable tool for assessment severity different types vasculitis and predictor outcome. We sought to prospectively assess presence aortic inflammation its time-dependent trend by measuring 18-FDG uptake PET/CT patients with severe or critical COVID-19. Methods In this pilot case control...
Abstract Purpose Aim of the study is to compare vascular function and structure parameters among middle-aged men with differences in body mass index (BMI) metabolic status investigate whether obese individuals a normal profile have unhealthy profile. Methods We measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) brachial flow-mediated dilation (bFMD) 141 (BMI≥30 kg/m2) 176 aged-matched BMI (<25 individuals. All participants had no clinical...
Abstract Purpose The interaction between smoking and blood pressure (BP) is complex. Despite the strong association cigarette cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, there paucity about effect of pharmacotherapies for treating tobacco dependence on BP in already established arterial hypertension. Varenicline has been shown to be an effective well-tolerated pharmaceutical intervention cessation. Aim study was investigate improvement control smokers with a diagnosis hypertension who quit or reduced...
Abstract Background/Introduction Aortic stiffness increases with advancing age and is a major risk factor for age-related morbidity mortality. glycaemic dysregulation are related; however, temporal relationships between aortic incidence of diabetes have not been fully delineated. Purpose We sought to investigate the role arterial in prediction incident diabetes. Methods 376 untreated hypertensive patients (mean 52.6±12.5 years, 201 males) without known cardiovascular disease history...
Abstract Purpose Smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and prediabetes associated with excess risks adverse outcomes death. Aim of this study was to explore whether smoking exert synergistic unfavourable effect on functional structural parameters large arteries. Methods We measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), augmentation index (AIx) carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) in 407 individuals without known atherosclerotic (mean age: 52±8 years) categorized...
Objective: Diabetes is associated with vascular aging and arteriosclerosis. Arterial stiffness can be used to assess an independent predictor of cardiovascular events mortality. However, the role arterial in incidence diabetes especially patients under treatment statins has not been investigated. We sought investigate carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) prediction incident hypertensives statins. Design method: 376 never treated (mean age 53 ± 13 years, 175 females) without a known...
Abstract Introduction Liver cirrhosis is characterized by vasodilation, reduced peripheral resistances and increased cardiac output. Recently, a novel parameter based on the ratio of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) to absolute value global longitudinal strain (GLS), has been proposed estimate relationship between left ventricle aortic function (ventriculoarterial coupling- VAC). Purpose This study aimed investigate potential correlation VAC, as estimated PWV/GLS ratio, disease...
Objective: We investigated the acute effect of electronic cigarette (EC) smoking on aortic pressure waveform amplification. also sought to compare EC and combustible (TC) haemodynamics. Design method: studied 24 smokers (age: 30 ± 8 years) 3 separate occasions: a) tobacco (nicotine content, 1.2 mg) over 5 minutes, b) (18 mg E-liquid) for a period c) nothing (sham procedure) 60 minutes. Smoking min (15 puffs) was chosen mimic common pattern smoking. All participants were asked fill in...
