Adipose tissue distribution plays a crucial role in the development of cardiovascular complications. In particular, visceral adipose (VAT) has been linked to insulin resistance (IR) and disease (CVD). However, relationship between VAT, cardiac dysfunction meditation capacity VAT related IR not fully characterized. This cross-sectional study included adults living with type 2 diabetes (T2D). was measured using electrical bioimpedance also estimated Metabolic Score for Visceral Fat (METS-VF)....

Abstract Background Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the large arteries and their branches; its etiology still unknown. In individuals suffering from TA, arterial inflammation progresses to stenosis and/or occlusion, leading organ damage survival. Relation of TA with Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been known, but there have only few systematic studies focusing on this association. The IS6110 sequence identifies complex HupB establishes differences between...

The aim of the present study was to describe clinical and echocardiographic findings ventricular noncompaction in adult patients. Fifty-three patients underwent complete history, electrocardiogram, Holter transthoracic echocardiogram. Forty (75%) were class I/II New York Heart Association, 13 (25%) III/IV. Ventricular supraventricular escape beats found 40% 26.4%, respectively. showed premature contractions 32% sustained tachycardia 7.5%. an isolated finding 74% cases associated with other...

High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are known to enhance vascular function through different mechanisms, including the delivery of functional lipids endothelial cells. Therefore, we hypothesized that omega-3 (n-3) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) content HDLs would improve beneficial effects these lipoproteins. To explore this hypothesis, performed a placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial in 18 hypertriglyceridemic patients without symptoms coronary heart disease who...

Abstract Background Cardiotoxicity is a recognized complication in breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing chemotherapy with anthracyclines or without trastuzumab. However, the prognostic value of heart rate variability (HRV) indexes for early cardiotoxicity development remains unknown. Methods Fifty BC underwent TTE assessment before and three months after chemotherapy. HRV were obtained from continuous electrocardiograms supine position spontaneous breathing, active standing, controlled...

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a primary vasculitis that causes stenosis or occlusion, rarely aneurysm and distal ischemia. This study was undertaken to examine cardiovascular damage using echocardiography determine the of morbid‐mortality in Mexican Mestizo patients with TA. Seventy‐six were studied by transthoracic echocardiography. Left ventricular diameters, parietal thickness, systolic function, wall motion analyzed, also, valvular lesions aorta features assessed. Thickness...

Hyperuricemia has been associated with an increased risk of endothelial dysfunction (ED), cardiovascular and renal disease. The role uric acid (UA) on vascular damage is still controversial because previous studies have included patients other factor for ED.To determine if the treatment allopurinol improved function in hyperuricemic without factors ED.In order to gain more insight about contribution UA ED, we screened 369 apparently healthy male individuals a period 9 months. Only fulfill...

Kidney transplant (KT) resolves many of the cardiac abnormalities associated with chronic kidney failure (CKF). This study analyzed alterations and their modification transplant. Thirteen patients in CKF underwent conventional echocardiograms, dobutamine stress injection contrast to examine perfusion before KT 3 months after Nine had evidence left ventricular hypertrophy six diastolic dysfunction. Wall thickness, mass, mass index diminished KT; only two continued manifest hypertrophy. Left...

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory disease that causes occlusion of large arteries, but little known about whether affected patients are characterized by endothelial dysfunction, different high-density lipoproteins (HDL) subclasses and paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity.In the present study, 30 with TA, age- gender-matched volunteers (controls) 15 essential hypertension were studied.
