The purpose of this study was to assess the associations between 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE)-derived changes in right ventricular (RV) volumes and strains with subsequent RV cardiotoxicity patients treated anthracyclines.Although early detection prediction left (LV) dysfunction has been widely studied receiving anthracyclines, little is known about size function population.A total 74 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who received 6 cycles anthracycline-based treatment were enrolled....
The study aimed to examine the association between daytime napping and successful aging (including its five dimensions, "low probability of disease," "no disease-related disability," "high cognitive functioning," physical "active engagement with life") among China's older adults using data from Chinese Health Retirement Longitudinal Study conducted in 2015.Cross-sectional were used analysis. Multivariable logistic regressions investigate aging, stratified analyses performed explore...
Undiagnosed hypertension has resulted in significant health and economic burdens. This study sought to investigate the association between factors undiagnosed among hypertensive Chinese assess urban-rural disparity. A total of 6455 diagnosed adults were included. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted examine hypertension. The urban–rural disparity investigated through stratified analysis. prevalent (28.8%), rural residents more likely have compared their urban counterparts (30.1%...
No studies have assessed the association between daytime napping and obesity in China. The study aimed to examine among Chinese middle-aged older adults, evaluate difference aforementioned men women.Overall, 14 685 participants aged 45 years were included by using data from China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) 2015. A multivariable logistic regression model was used investigate relationship after adjusting for potential confounders. Stratified analyses performed differences...
Purpose: To examine associations of daytime napping and diagnosed diabetes in middle-aged premenopausal, postmenopausal, older postmenopausal Chinese women. Design: Quantitative, cross-sectional. Setting: 2015 cross-sectional data from China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study. Participants were recruited 150 counties/districts 450 villages/resident committees. Participants: Six thousand nine hundred forty women aged 45 years (mean age = 61 years) stratified by menopausal status. Measures:...
We evaluated the effects of varying blood flow rate during peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygen (V-A ECMO) on left ventricular function measured by two-dimensional strain.Adult patients who were supported V-A ECMO recruited. Serial hemodynamic and cardiac performance parameters transthoracic echocardiogram within first 48 h after implementation ECMO. Measurements at 100%, 120%, 50% target (TBF) compared.A total 54 included main indications for myocardial infarction [32...
The utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has increased rapidly around the world. Being an overall low-volume high-cost form therapy, effectiveness having care delivered in segregated units across a geographical locality is debatable.All adult cases admitted to public hospitals Hong Kong between 2010 and 2019 were included. "High-volume" centers defined as those with >20 respective calendar year, while "low-volume" ≤20. Clinical outcomes patients who received high-volume...
Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is an advanced method that has been associated with better outcomes after cardiac arrest compared conventional resuscitation. This a retrospective analysis of all patients who received ECPR for in Hong Kong's first program from 2012 to 2020. The primary outcome was favorable neurologic at 3 months. A new risk prediction model developed and its performance published scores. One-hundred two 19 (18.6%) survived outcome. Having shockable rhythm...
Abstract Background: Peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is used to support circulatory failure refractory conventional therapy. However, data on the heart-ECMO interaction at different levels of ECMO blood flow during immediate period after initiation are sparse. We evaluated effects varying rate left ventricular systolic function. Methods: Adult patients who were supported by peripheral V-A in a tertiary referral center recruited. Serial hemodynamic and...
