Abstract Aims We aimed to determine the use of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) and identify clinical factors associated with their in patients heart failure (HF) a real‐life setting. Methods Real‐world data on Empagliflozin Dapagliflozin HEART failure: The RED–HEART study is multicentre, cross‐sectional observational that included HF outpatient setting regardless ejection fraction from 19 cardiology centres between August 2023 December 2023. Results population consisted...
: Left ventricular (LV) thrombi are mostly formed in the aneurysmal or akinetic segment of LV apex. Thromboembolism to brain is usually fatal. There not enough information available regarding use these new oral anticoagulant agents thrombi. In this case, we present a 56-year-old male patient who was given dabigatran (150 mg, twice day) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after experiencing anterior myocardial infarction. During dabigatran, thrombus formation, which earlier, observed apical...
Aortic arch calcification (AAC) is a surrogate marker for arterial stiffness and hypertension-related vascular damage. Renal resistive index (RRI), renal Doppler ultrasonography parameter, used to assess hemodynamics. In this study, we aimed evaluate the relationship between RRI AAC in patients with hypertension.Patients hypertension underwent chest X-ray re nal ultrasonography. They were divided into two groups according (group 1: ≥0.70; group 2: < 0.70). Two examiners, blinded findings of...
There is a considerable amount of literature available on well-known risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF); however, data specifically focused the ninth decade are scarce. The main objective this study was to assess demographic and clinical characteristics AF sinus rhythm in nonagenarian population.
Resumo Fundamento Apesar dos avanços nas modalidades de diagnóstico e tratamento, há necessidade marcadores preditivos para acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) recorrentes. Objetivos Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a relação entre calcificação do arco aórtico (CAA) recorrência AVC em pacientes com durante o acompanhamento um ano. Métodos Todos os que sofreram seu primeiro evento foram avaliados participação no estudo. Foram registrados recorrentes A CAA foi avaliada por radiografia...
Abstract Long QT syndrome may lead to fatal dysrhythmia. Prolongation of interval due pregabalin has been shown in rats and no data is available humans. We report a 80‐year‐old female patient using pregabalin. She was presented emergency room with syncope attacks. Her admission electrocardiography demonstrated prolonged interval. After excluding the possible causes long syndrome, we attributed therapy. discontinuation returned normal range experienced further It first time for documentation
ST-segment shifts in lead aVR are associated with increased coronary atherosclerosis. However, there is insufficient data about the relationship between and complexity. The aim of this study was to investigate relationship.This prospective, observational included 236 patients acute syndrome who underwent angiography. Electrocardiograms on presentation were reviewed terms aVR. Inter-observer agreement analyzed using kappa statistics for presence ST segment shifts. divided into two groups...
Para-aortic adipose tissue (PAT) is the local that externally surrounds aorta. It contributes significantly to aortic atherosclerosis and enlargement. Studies conducted with computed tomography magnetic resonance have shown individuals aneurysm had more PAT than healthy individuals. In this study, we measured using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The aim of study investigate possible relationship TTE ascending width.PAT was defined as hypoechoic space in front 2 cm above sinotubular...
Fundamento: A pressao arterial nao-dipper e uma das causas mais importantes de lesao orgao-alvo da hipertensao eventos cardiovasculares futuros. Atualmente, nao ha ferramenta pratica para prever o padrao arterial. Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a relacao entre calcificacao no arco aortico detectada raio torax Metodos: Todos os pacientes encaminhados monitorizacao ambulatorial foram abordados participacao estudo.

Despite advances in treatment, no-reflow, large thrombus burden (LTB), and myocardial blush grade (MBG) are associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes ST-elevation infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Aortic arch calcification (AAC) is subclinical atherosclerosis events. We aimed to examine the relationship between AAC unfavorable angiographic such as MBG, LTB STEMI PCI.
Purpose: We evaluated the association between severity of aortic arch calcification (AAC) and C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Materials Methods: 288 patients who presented with ACS underwent angiography were enrolled analysis. CAR was calculated as serum CRP/albumin x 10. The AAC separated into four groups (0 to 3): Grade 0-1 defined non-severe group, those grade 2-3 severe group. Results: CRP significantly higher group than Multivariate...
Abstract Background Despite advances in diagnostic and treatment modalities, there is a need for predictive markers recurrent strokes. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the relationship between aortic arch calcification (AAC) stroke recurrence patients during one-year follow-up. Methods All who experienced their first event were evaluated participation study. Patients strokes follow-up recorded. AAC was assessed by chest radiography. Based on occurrence of divided into two groups....
Background: The association of fragmented QRS (fQRS) with many cardiac pathologies such as fibrosis has been described previously. Paraaortic adipose tissue (PAT) is thought to be associated diseases and there only one publication on its echocardiographic evaluation. This study aims describe the possible relationship between fQRS PAT. Methods: Patients presenting cardiology outpatient clinic were evaluated for inclusion in study. Presence additional R' wave or notching/splitting S two...
Apixaban was introduced in clinical use for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation as an alternative to warfarin. There is a dearth of information regarding apixaban patients suffering from with intracardiac foreign bodies such pacemaker leads. In this report, we describe 72-year-old female patient complaint weakness both legs few days’ duration. She detected have thrombus over the lead and inside left appendage during treatment. After discontinuation commencement warfarin, resolved. Our case first...
Objective Hypertension-induced end-organ damage is one of the important determinants morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertension. All types hypertension-induced damages start vascular damage. Vascular calcification a marker aortic arch (AAC) easily identifiable calcification. We hypothesized that AAC predicts retinopathy hypertensive patients. Methods Consecutive without diabetes mellitus were included. Chest radiography posterior-anterior was used to assess presence AAC. underwent...
Propafenone is a class 1C antiarrhythmic drug that blocks sodium channels and used in the treatment of arrhythmia. Because its rapid effect on terminating paroxysmal episodes atrial fibrillation, it can be as pill-in-the-pocket. In patients with structural heart disease, less preferred due to cardiotoxic effects long-term use. Although propafenone use known cause several cardiovascular side effects, development Takotsubo cardiomyopathy unknown. toxicity at standard doses rare condition....
Abstract Introduction Early repolarization pattern (ERP) can exist a silent substrate for arrhytmic events in accordance with the previous studies which have shown there has been evidence of morphological changes left ventricle (LV) ERP subjects. Despite structural subjects, it not exactly known whether change LV functional parameters occur ERP. The aim our study was to investigate athletes evaluated by 2D‐ speckle tracking echocardiography (2D‐STE). Method In this study, (n = 50) and...
Increased atherosclerosis and thrombosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) commonly cause cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarction.Mechanism of infarction is different: Some immunological genetic causes antiphospholipid syndrome, increased inflammation, immune complexes, elevated homocysteine level Factor V Leiden mutation, play pivotal role this group patients.So its treatment shows difference too.Anticoagulant drugs are not recommended for current...
