Background. Atherosclerosis and vascular calcifications are common causes of morbidity mortality in maintenance haemodialysis patients. In addition to the well-known traditional risk factors, uraemia-specific factors appear enhance dramatically progression pathological processes involved. The aim present study was evaluate degree atherosclerosis chronic patients using non-invasive imaging methods, identify potentially involved factors. Methods. included 73 (36 females, 37 males), aged 25–75...
BackgroundPhysical training is a well-known complementary treatment for chronic heart failure (CHF); however, many aspects require further studies. One of them the impact on remodeling left ventricle (LV). The purpose this study was to evaluate effect 6 months LV, exercise capacity and safety issues in patients with ischemic CHF. Methods Fifty (mean age 60.1 ± 9.2 years) CHF, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification class II III ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 35% were...
Effective progenitor cell recruitment to the ischemic injury zone is a prerequisite for any potential therapeutic effect. Cell uptake determinants in humans with recent myocardial infarction are not defined. We tested hypothesis that of autologous CD34(+) cells delivered via an intracoronary route after related left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) and infarct size.Thirty-one subjects (age, 36-69 years; 28 men) primary percutaneous coronary intervention-treated anterior...
Atherosclerosis, a chronic vascular disease, leads to molecular events bound with interplaying processes of inflammation and coagulation. In the present study, fibronectin (FN), FN containing extra domain A (EDA-FN), frequency occurrence, relative amounts soluble plasma FN-fibrin complexes were analyzed in 80 samples patients suspected coronary artery disease based on clinical evaluation changes arteries found by computed tomographic angiography. The study showed that patients' group high...
An increasing body of evidence suggests that atherosclerosis in patients with uremia differs from found general population terms advancement and localization vascular lesions. It has also been suggested different non-invasive techniques system evaluation are designed to show types lesions (i.e. calcification, stiffness or “classical” atherosclerosis). The aim the study was search for possible associations between results obtained three methods assessment sites treated peritoneal dialysis...
Pressure-induced left ventricular hypertrophy is one of the mechanisms responsible for an impaired coronary vasodilating capacity leading to myocardial ischemia and angina. The aim study was investigate perfusion using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with arterial hypertension a history chest pain normal angiography, estimate influence on parameters perfusion.The included 102 (mean age 55.4 +/- 7.7 years) well controlled 12 healthy volunteers. In 96 patients, first-pass both at...
Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is associated with a markedly worse prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI).The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between anterior and posterior leaflet angle (MLA) values, left ventricle remodeling severity of ischaemic (IMR). Methods: Forty-two patients (age 63.5 ± 9.7 years, 36 men) chronic IMR (regurgitant volume, RV > 20 ml; >6 months MI) underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging....
The integration of artificial intelligence in medical imaging has revolutionized diagnostic capabilities, particularly cardiology. This study presents an innovative approach to automated cardiac region detection chest X-ray images using advanced deep learning techniques. We developed and evaluated multiple convolutional neural network architectures, with ResNet-50 emerging as the optimal model for precise localization. Utilizing a dataset 496 high-resolution DICOM (1024 x 1024), we...
