In recent times, there have been notable changes in cardiovascular medicine, propelled by the swift advancements artificial intelligence (AI). The present work provides an overview of current applications and challenges AI field heart failure. It emphasizes “garbage in, garbage out” issue, where systems can produce inaccurate results with skewed data. discussion covers issues failure diagnostic algorithms, particularly discrepancies between existing models. Concerns about reliance on left...
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) represents an aortic pathology that is caused by the deranged integrity of three layers wall, and related to severe morbidity mortality. Consequently, it crucial identify biomarkers implicated in pathogenesis biology TAA. The aim current computational study was assess differential gene expression profile gap junction proteins (GJPs) patients with TAA order novel potential for diagnosis treatment this disease. We implemented bioinformatics methodology construct...
Cognitive impairment (CI) is increasingly recognized as a common adverse consequence of heart failure (HF). Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, microembolism, chronic or intermittent cerebral hypoperfusion, and/or impaired vessel reactivity that lead to hypoxia and ischemic brain damage seem underlie development CI in HF. decline HF characterized by deficits one more cognition domains, including attention, memory, executive function, psychomotor speed. These may affect patients'...
Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an established prognostic marker in acute and chronic heart failure (HF). Recent studies have pointed out a link among RDW, diabetes mellitus (DM) inflammation. We sought to investigate the value longitudinal pattern of RDW patients with concomitant HF DM, which remains unknown.A total 218 (71 diabetics) who presented had measured at admission, discharge 4, 8 12 months post-discharge. The study endpoint was all-cause mortality or rehospitalization...
This study was designed to evaluate the incidence and mechanisms of mitral regurgitation following balloon valvotomy (MBV) in 40 consecutive patients with symptomatic tight pliable stenosis.Transthoracic echocardiography color flow mapping performed before 24 hours after procedure. Patients who developed significant MBV also underwent transesophageal echocardiography. The relation between increased both valvular morphology procedure-related factors examined. Gorlin valve area from 0.81 +/-...
Aim: To evaluate validity of the Greek version a global measure perceived stress PSS-14 (Perceived Stress Scale - 14 item). Materials and Methods: The original PSS.14 (theoretical range 0.56) was translated into then back-translated. One hundred men women (39±10 years old, 40 men) participated in validation process. Firstly, participants completed and, they were interviewed by psychologist specializing management. Cronbach's alpha (α) evaluated internal consistency measurement, whereas...
Introduction Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a beneficial tool for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases with, however, low participation rates. Telerehabilitation, intergrading mobile technologies and wireless sensors may advance patients’ adherence. This study will investigate efficacy, efficiency, safety cost-effectiveness telerehabilitation programme based on objective exercise telemonitoring evaluation cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods analysis A supervised,...
