Lung cancer is the second most common worldwide and leading cause of cancer-related death. While survival rates have improved with advancements in therapeutics, additional health challenges surfaced. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) a morbidity mortality patients lung cancer. CVD share many risk factors, such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, advanced age, obesity. Optimal management this patient population requires full understanding potential cardiovascular (CV) complications treatment. This...
ABSTRACT Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a broad spectrum of systemic manifestations, including cardiac abnormalities. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, form stress‐induced transient heart failure, not typically associated DM1, and its occurrence in this patient population remains poorly characterized. This case series aims to describe two instances cardiomyopathy patients highlighting potential links between the neuromuscular pathophysiology DM1...
Background Severe cardiac cachexia or malnutrition are commonly considered relative contraindications to left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, but post-LVAD prognosis for patients with is uncertain. Methods and Results Intermacs (Interagency Registry Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support) 2006 2017 was queried the preimplantation variable cachexia/malnutrition. Cox proportional hazards modeling examined relationship between LVAD outcomes. Of 20 332 primary recipients...
Background Authoritative research demonstrating efficacy of traditional dysphagia therapy for Head & Neck Cancer (HNC) patients is limited. A 2019 survey reported speech-language-pathologists (SLPs) have started using Manual Therapy (MT) to prevent or rehabilitate in HNC patients. This application MT supported theoretically but no has established efficacy. Further, specific contents protocols employed this setting remain unknown. Objectives In the absence protocols, study aimed better...
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1) is an autosomal dominant neuromuscular disease that can affect skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. Patients often have involvement such as conduction diseases, ventricular arrhythmia, sudden death, cardiomyopathy pulmonary hypertension. We describe a patient with MD1 who suffered recurrent takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Case: A 39-year-old female history of myotonic 1, recovered ejection fraction (EF) 50-55%, gastroparesis orthostatic hypotension presented chest...
