Premature myocardial infarction (MI) risk factors, including genetic ones, are crucial for an individual stratification. The aim of this study was to investigate the role variants in young patients with MI and a family history premature atherosclerosis (FHpa). studied group consisted 70 aged 26-49 (mean 43.1, SD ± 4.3; 17 women, 53 men), FHpa. targeted enrichment library prepared analyzed using Next-Generation Sequencing method. results sequencing were compared data from reference control...
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is an important diagnostic tool in contemporary clinical practice. This document presents expert opinion from the Working Group on Cardiac Rehabilitation and Exercise Physiology of Polish Society concerning indications, performance technique, interpretation results for CPET adult cardiology. electrocardiographic test expanded with evaluation ventilatory gas exchange parameters. It allows a global assessment including pulmonary, cardiovascular,...
<i>Background:</i> There is significant evidence that reactive oxygen species play an important role in endothelial dysfunction, ischemia/reperfusion injury as well the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus (DM). It also known vitamins C and E have substantial antioxidant properties. However, clinical concerning this topic insufficient so far. The aim present study was to determine if administration influences outcome diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)....
Background: Chronotropic incompetence in patients taking beta-blockers is associated with poor prognosis; however, its impact on exercise capacity (EC) remains unclear. Methods: We analyzed data from consecutive referred for cardiopulmonary testing to assess EC. was defined as chronotropic index (CI) ≤ 62%. Results: Among 140 all (age 61 ± 9.7 years; 73% males), 64% heart failure, present 80.7%. EC assessed peak oxygen uptake lower the group incompetence, 18.3 5.7 vs. 24.0 5.3 mL/kg/min, p...
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is indicated in all patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) to improve prognosis and exercise capacity (EC). Previous studies reported that up a third of did not their EC CR (non-responders). Our aim was assess the cardiac peripheral mechanisms improvement using combined echocardiography cardiopulmonary testing (CPET-SE). The responders included with an improved assessed as rise peak oxygen uptake (VO2) ≥ 1 mL/kg/min. Peripheral extraction calculated...
Decreased exercise capacity (EC) is an established predictor of cardiac and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). No correlation has been found between EC left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. Moreover, data about the effect right (RV) function on HF severe LV dysfunction are limited contradictory. In this study, we aimed to investigate relationship myocardial mechanics reduced Consecutive symptomatic fraction ≤35% were prospectively assessed. All evaluated...
Exercise intolerance after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a predictor of worse prognosis, but its causes are complex and poorly studied. This study assessed the determinants exercise using combined stress echocardiography cardiopulmonary testing (CPET-SE) in patients treated for AMI. We prospectively enrolled with left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) ≥40% more than 4 weeks first Stroke volume, heart rate, arteriovenous oxygen difference (A-VO 2 Diff) were during symptom-limited...
Electrocardiographic (ECG) exercise stress test has been a major diagnostic in cardiology for several decades. Ongoing technological advances that have led to wide use of imaging techniques and development new guidelines called revised updated approach the technique interpretation ECG testing. The present document outlines an expert opinion Polish Cardiac Society Working Group on Rehabilitation Exercise Physiology regarding performance testing adults. We discussed technical requirements...
Abstract Background Chronotropic incompetence is common in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients and associated with reduced exercise capacity. However, its prognostic significance a determination of threshold values for prognosis remain unclear. Methods & Results We assessed 96 post-MI 4 weeks after their initial event left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40%. All underwent combined stress echocardiography cardiopulmonary tests. The chronotropic response was measured as...
