Stress induced (Takotsubo) cardiomyopathy (TC) represents an acute heart failure syndrome triggered by physical or emotional stressors. COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented health crisis resulting in fear, distress and anxiety, with emerging cardiovascular implications. related stress can act as potential trigger for TC. We present a case of elderly female who developed TC due to surrounding COVID-19.
We compared pulse wave velocity (PWV) between hypertensive patients and control to identify demographics patient characteristics related PWV. retrospectively analyzed 9923 participants (3105 controls 6818 patients) from 5 outpatient clinics (in Serbia Greece). Pulse had different distribution ( P < .001). The magnitude of PWV increase was blood pressure (BP) category (from optimal stage III hypertension; Even in with systolic BP (SBP) <140 and/or diastolic (DBP) <90 mm Hg, greater than...
Despite the existence of many studies, there are still limited data about characteristics myocarditis in Greece. This led to creation Greek Myocarditis Registry aiming document different symptoms and treatment myocarditis, assess possible prognostic factors, find similarities differences what is already published literature. paper a preliminary descriptive analysis this Registry.We analysed for hospitalization period all patients included from December 2015 until November 2017. Statistics...
A 77-year-old male presented to the emergency department experiencing palpitations.Medical history included diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoking and treated colon cancer.Echocardiogram indicated inferior hypokinesia.Coronary computed tomography angiography identified a significant lesion in proximal right coronary artery (RCA).
Objective: Functional capacity assessment is an essential component in the primary and secondary prevention programs, it determined objectively by cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) testing. In oxygen-dependent biological system, such as human body, CPX testing summarizes overall efficiency of transport systems use oxygen, gas throughout which explains recognized assessing prognostic value this parameter. The objective was to investigate correlation pulse wave velocity (PWV) with various...
Abstract Objectives To identify angiographic predictors of aberrant left circumflex artery (LCx) by comparing main (LM) length and bifurcation angle between patients with LCx normal anatomy. Background Failure to recognize during a cardiac catheterization may hamper correct diagnosis, delay intervention in acute coronary syndromes, result increased contrast volume, radiation exposure, infarct size. Methods We retrospectively analyzed angiograms anatomy matched controls, three‐participating...
Objective: Hyperuricaemia is associated with many traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as arterial hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Our purpose was to investigate the relationship of Serum Uric Acid (SUA) levels ten – year fatal disease. Design method: We prospectively enrolled 568 hypertensive patients (mean age 63 ± 10 years) presented for evaluation in hypertension clinic. In all subjects routine blood chemistry, including SUA determination, echocardiographic examination,...
Suboptimal or incomplete coronary stent expansion is associated with increased restenosis rate and target vessel revascularization. Stent visualisation plain fluoroscopy has become challenging due to reduction of strut thickness. Inability balloon delivery a frequent cause procedural failures in percutaneous interventions. This case report highlights the role novel enhancing technique, StentBoost, recognition management Guideliner catheter, which an essential assist device complex...
Objective: To differentiate the sub-clinical impact of body mass index on risk factors, target organ damage, including cardiac adaptations, especially beyond hypertension. Design and method: In this observational study with a cross-sectional design, 187 patients referred or self-referred to our outpatient institution were prospectively enrolled. all patients, medical history physical examination as well routine biochemical exams, clinic 24-h blood pressure (BP) evaluation finally...
Objective: Low blood pressure is associated with worse outcome in hypertensive patients coronary heart disease. A J curve phenomenon has been reported between and cardiovascular events those patients. The purpose of the study was to determine relationship on-treatment BP outcomes (death or transplantation) CAD impaired left ventricle systolic function. Design method: We prospectively followed-up 77 disease ventricular function for 28.1 ± 9.9 months. During this period, 15 died 2 underwent...
Objective: Atrial fibrillation and arterial hypertension share common risk factors such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, alcohol consumption etc. There is evidence however that the aforementioned are associated with serum uric acid (SUA) levels. We sought to assess relation of SUA levels blood pressure (BP) incidence atrial Design method: prospectively enrolled 568 hypertensive patients (mean age 63 ± 10 years) presented for evaluation in Hypertension clinic. All underwent 24-hour holter...
Objective: Several large studies have identified the role, of serum uric acid (SUA) concentration in predicting risk for cardiovascular events populations. This study had purpose to investigate relationship SUA levels with traditional factors: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, obesity and smoking status. Design method: We prospectively enrolled 568 hypertensive patients (mean age 63 ± 10 years) presented evaluation Hypertension clinic. In all subjects routine blood...
Objective: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the gold standard for measuring large artery stiffness. A PWV >10m/s considered a conservative estimate of significant alterations aortic function in middle-aged hypertensive patients. Although commonly used, there are only few reports investigating 24-hour variability measurements, determination which important when using as clinical marker target organ damage. The aim this study was to investigate measurements and factors that may influence during 24...
