Abstract Background and Aims The detection of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) by reduction left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during chemotherapy usually triggers the initiation cardioprotective therapy. This study addressed whether same approach should be applied to patients with worsening global longitudinal strain (GLS) without attaining thresholds LVEF. Methods Strain surveillance for improving cardiovascular outcomes (SUCCOUR-MRI) was a prospective multicentre...
Abstract Background and Aims It has been reported that patients without standard modifiable cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (SMuRFs—diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, smoking) presenting with first myocardial infarction (MI), especially women, have a higher in-hospital mortality than factors, possibly lower long-term provided they survive the post-infarct period. This study aims to explore outcomes of SMuRF-less stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods CLARIFY is an observational...
A clinical and radiological study of upper lower limb joints was carried out on 25 experienced weight-lifters to identify the extent degenerative joint disease (Osteoarthrosis) produced by this sport. Although significant changes were found in five lifters (20%). This figure is not greater than that general population within age group studied. There more Olympic style (30.7%) power (8.3%). The significance these figures discussed. almost completely free changes.
Background: Although atrial ventricular (AV) intervals are often optimized at rest in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), there limited data on the impact of exercise optimal AV interval. Methods: In 15 with CRT, were serially programmed while supine and rest, during heart rates that averaged 20 40 beats per minute above their resting rates. Echocardiographic Doppler images acquired each interval rate. Three independent echocardiographic criteria retrospectively used...
AL amyloidosis and multiple myeloma result in extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrillary protein tissue organs. Untreated median survival is very poor, even worse with cardiac involvement. Chemotherapy peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) have been shown to dramatically improve survival, hematologic remission documented. Regression changes has previously shown, as assessed by echocardiography (TTE) magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). This study a comparison TTE CMR...
•The first documented case of amyloid light chain cardiac amyloidosis with normalization average global longitudinal strain is presented.•This further evidence regression after stem cell transplantation.•Global may be a ready visual marker prognosis, regression, and recovery.
During exercise there is a proportionally lower rise in systemic and pulmonary pressures compared to cardiac output due reduced vascular resistance. Invasive data suggest that resistance reduces more than The aim of this study was the non-invasive assessment hemodynamics ironman athletes, with an age matched control group larger general community cohort. 20 athletes (40 ± 11 years, 17 male) were non-athlete controls (43 7 10 cohort 230 non-athletes individuals (66 155 male), at rest after...
Abstract Background Stress echocardiography (SE) is an established technique for assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) which difficult to perform and interpret. Left ventricular stroke volume (SV) readily estimated with Doppler echocardiography. It can be affected by myocardial ischemia, possible adjunctive value during SE. Methods Patients underwent Bruce protocol SE SV before after maximal treadmill exertion post routine regional wall analysis. Incremental change in (ΔSV) exercise...
