<h3>Importance</h3> Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. Endothelial dysfunction (EDF) involved in CVD pathogenesis; however, EDF onset after HIV acquisition and the potential for reversibility antiretroviral therapy (ART) have not been evaluated to date. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate endothelial function noninvasive reactive hyperemia index (RHI) patients early at baseline ART initiation. <h3>Design, Setting,...
Athlete's heart is the condition of cardiac remodeling as a result physiologic stress induced by regular strenuous physical activity professional or elite amateur individuals. The literature describes several characteristics athletic heart, including left ventricular hypertrophy, increased mass, right dilatation, atrial enlargement, electrocardiographic changes, and abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging. We present case in an exceptionally physically fit active duty naval aviator who...
Objective This study describes results of iCPET from the past, which used submaximal stress and multisensor high‐fidelity catheters to exclude heart disease in a unique population young adults. Background There has been resurgence comprehensive hemodynamic evaluation complex cardiovascular patients. Although dynamic assessments during cardiac catheterization have become commonplace, there remains limited information regarding left right changes supine exercise Methods The was derived...
Abstract Objectives This study examines the intrapatient variability in peak instantaneous left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradients and aortic pulse pressures during rest, exercise, after ectopy. Background Although LVOT patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is well known, predictors of such variation are not. We hypothesized that quantitative invasive analysis gradient could identify useful maximal gradients. Methods Variability continuously recorded, high‐fidelity pressure...
People living with HIV (PLHIV) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and development of subclinical echocardiographic abnormalities. However, there is scant evidence the changes that occur shortly after seroconversion. In this study we describe evaluations asymptomatic US Air Force members who were diagnosed infection evaluated San Antonio Military Medical Center between September 1, 2015 30, 2016.Patients (n = 50) predominantly male (96%), mostly African American (60%), a...
Abstract Introduction ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a high acuity diagnosis that requires prompt recognition and developed system responses to reduce morbidity mortality. There paucity of literature describing active duty (AD) military personnel with STEMI syndromes at treatment facilities (MTFs). This study aims describe AD members diagnoses, facility management, subsequent dispositions observed. Materials Methods We performed single-center, retrospective review all...
Introduction: Heart failure from immunoglobulin AL amyloidosis is rapidly fatal. Serial orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) followed by high dose melphalan / autologous stem cell (ASCT) improves outcomes in selected patients. Debates still focus on the appropriate selection criteria for this approach. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients with evaluated at Massachusetts General Hospital (2000 - 2011). Demographic and clinical data were obtained time evaluation OHT...
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare condition accounting for less than 1% all congenital cardiac diseases. The fundamental nature this involves blend atrioventricular as well ventriculoarterial discordance. classically associated with three additional abnormalities, including ventricular septal defect, right outflow tract obstruction, and tricuspid valve abnormalities. Patients anomaly have been shown to exhibit reduced exercise tolerance health-related...
Objective: To review cases of 9DWI negative9 stroke admitted to the Fremantle Hospital Stroke Unit; examine which syndromes are most commonly DWI negative and postulate reasons for this. Background MRI is increasingly being used as diagnostic tool choice acute ischaemic stroke. It more sensitive than CT in this regard, with an accuracy approaching 95%. recognised that a proportion clinically diagnosed strokes show no changes on MRI, we have identified certain negative. Design/Methods: The...
Introduction: Although the variability in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) gradients patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is well known, value of pulse pressure (PP) changes ectopy for predicting LVOT gradient remains unreported. Hypothesis: This study examines intrapatient peak instantaneous and aortic associated Brockenbrough-Braunwald-Morrow sign (BBM sign) compared beat-to-beat variability. Methods: Variability continuously recorded, high-fidelity waveforms were evaluated...
