Empirical evidence indicates a significant bidirectional association between mental disorders and physical diseases, but the prospective impact of mental on clinical outcomes diseases has not been comprehensively outlined. In this PRISMA‐ COSMOS‐E‐compliant umbrella review, we searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, Joanna Briggs Institute Database Systematic Reviews Implementation Reports, up to March 15, 2022, identify systematic reviews with meta‐analysis that examined any disorder diseases....
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is characterized by elevated cardiac output at rest, an inability to further increase contractility under stress, and diastolic dysfunction. The diagnosis of CCM crucial as it can lead complications during liver transplantation. However, its recognition poses challenges with conventional echocardiography techniques. Speckle tracking (STE), particularly global longitudinal strain (GLS), a novel index that enhances the diagnostic efficacy for both ischemic...
Abstract Background Right ventricular–pulmonary circulation (RV-PC coupling) serves as an index to evaluate RV function in relation underlying afterload. Although impaired RV-PC coupling has been proposed a predictor of adverse outcomes heart failure (HF) patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (MR), there is limited data available for primary MR and moreover, if sex-related trend. Purpose This study aimed assess at rest during exercise bicycle stress echocardiography asymptomatic...
Abstract Background/Introduction There are two types of mitral regurgitation (MR); primary, which is characterized by abnormalities the valve apparatus and secondary or functional, caused left atrioventricular remodeling. The implementation 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) has resulted in precise depiction anatomical characteristics that prompts appropriate treatment. Purpose aim this study to describe among patients with moderate severe primary MR using 3D-TEE. Methods From 2017...
This study explored the associations between personality dimensions, burnout, and psychopathology in healthcare professionals intensive care units (ICUs). further aimed to discern differences these relationships when considering variables of critical experience (less than 5 years, 5–10 more 10 years), profession (nurses versus intensivists), urban size city where ICU is located (metropolitan cities smaller cities). cross-sectional investigation’s outcomes are based on data from 503...
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most common valvular abnormalities worldwide and can be subdivided into primary secondary causes. Atrial MR consists a novel type (SMR), often observed in patients with AF heart failure preserved ejection fraction. The main pathophysiological mechanism atrial mitral valve annular dilatation. Recently published studies have highlighted clinical significance left atrium (LA) evaluation early diagnosis prognosis MR. However, there are little data...
Patients with chronic conditions like hypertension may experience many negative emotions which endorse the development of anxiety and depression symptomatology, thus they increase their risk for poor quality life. Several studies have shown an association between symptoms psychological distress hypertension. In this study we aimed to quantify link depression, cardiophobia life in hypertensive patients. A cross-sectional design was employed. sample 197 patients (89 men-108 women, mean age 53...
The recently emerged novel coronavirus, "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)," caused a highly contagious disease called coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). It has severely damaged the world's most developed countries and turned into major threat for low- middle-income countries. Since its emergence in late 2019, medical interventions have been substantial, relied on public health measures collectively known as nonpharmaceutical (NPIs). We aimed to centralize accumulative...
Background and aims Cardiovascular complications of liver cirrhosis include high cardiac output heart failure with reduced afterload diastolic dysfunction. Heart Failure Association Pre-test assessment, Echocardiography natriuretic peptide, Functional testing, Final etiology (HFA-PEFF) (values 0–6) is a diagnostic tool for failure. It cluster echocardiographic biochemical parameters. The purpose this prospective study was to assess if HFA-PEFF score associated the severity disease determine...
Abstract Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with higher incidence of cardiovascular death. Screening for coronary artery in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients challenging. Objective The aim this study was to investigate the incremental value resting deformation analysis predicting positive results myocardial ischemia during stress transthoracic echocardiography end‐stage CKD. Methods Sixty‐one (mean age: 62.3 ± 11.8, 65.7% men) CKD were included study. Patients...
Abstract Background Right ventricular–pulmonary circulation (RV-PC coupling) serves as an index to evaluate RV function in relation underlying afterload. Although impaired RV-PC coupling has been proposed a predictor of adverse outcomes heart failure (HF) patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (MR), there is limited data available for primary MR. Purpose The objective this study was assess and compare alterations during exercise bicycle stress echocardiography individuals asymptomatic...
Abstract Introduction Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is a complication of liver cirrhosis accounting for significant morbidity and associated with reduced patient survival. It characterized by afterload, increased cardiac output, diastolic dysfunction. However, there are limited data regarding the prognostic significance right ventricular (RV) mechanics. Novel echocardiographic techniques such as speckle tracking echocardiography can detect subclinical myocardial dysfunction early in course...
