ABSTRACT Background Influenza infection has been associated with multiple cardiac complications including acute heart failure and myocardial infarction. The FluHeart study aims to uncover the potential effect of influenza on structure function as assessed by echocardiography during hospitalization. Methods This prospective cohort included hospitalized patients 2021–2022 season. Participants underwent using a prespecified protocol. were successfully matched 1:1:1 age, sex, status controls...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrythmia following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and can lead to stroke other heart-related diseases. This study aimed determine prognostic value of left atrial (LA) strain, obtained by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), in predicting incident AF outcomes STEMI treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI).This prospective comprised 392 patients pPCI. The had an performed at a median two days after their...
Abstract Aims Measures of left atrial (LA) function are known to predict both ischaemic stroke and fibrillation in specific patient groups. The aim this study was investigate the value LA reservoir strain for predicting patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) whether presence postoperative (POAF) modified relationship. Methods results Patients isolated CABG were included. primary endpoint stroke. association between investigated uni- multivariable Cox proportional hazards...
Abstract Background Hypertension is associated with cardiac structural and functional changes, left ventricular hypertrophy diastolic dysfunction as strong predictors of adverse events. Limited data exist on how cardiovascular (CV) risk factors accelerate (LV) mass over time in older hypertensive patients. Purpose To investigate the association between CV accelerated deterioration LV mass, atrial volume (LAV), global longitudinal strain (GLS), tissue Doppler E/e’ ratio an population Methods...
Abstract Background Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has become a treatable, chronic condition, but people with HIV still face an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. Purpose To assess echocardiographic alterations in left ventricular (LV) function contemporary cohort well-treated compared to the general population. Methods We included 744 frequency matched 1:1 on age and sex controls from Both underwent echocardiography, physical examination, questionnaires...
Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-established risk factor for heart failure (HF), stroke, and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. However, only limited longitudinal data exist regarding the impact of AF burden on structure function. Purpose The aim this study was to investigate association between changes in LV function an older patient population with cardiac factors. Methods This post-hoc analysis randomized clinical trial, which investigated whether screening...
Abstract Background Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery face an elevated long-term risk of ischemic stroke. Left atrial (LA) mechanics including LA strain are known to predict both stroke and fibrillation in other populations. Evidence is conflicting with regards the clinical significance postoperative (POAF) its role association between unclear. Purpose The aim study was investigate reservoir patients CABG whether presence POAF modified this relationship....
Introduction: Peak systolic strain rate (SrS) reflecting the maximal acceleration of deformation during systole derived from speckle tracking echocardiography has been demonstrated to be a significant predictor cardiovascular outcomes in patients with myocardial infarction. However, prognostic utility SrS individuals low risk is unknown. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that was associated incident heart failure (HF) general population. Methods: The 5th Copenhagen City Heart Study prospective...
