<h3>Objective</h3> Non-invasive cardiac imaging may suffer from poor image quality in morbidly obese individuals. This study aimed to determine the clinical value of contemporary stress echocardiography (SE) patients referred for assessment suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). <h3>Methods</h3> prospective, multicentre observational was conducted two district hospitals and one tertiary centre London, UK. Individuals with body mass index ≥35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> SE were evaluated. The...
The aim of this study is to investigate the role and short-term results balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) before noncardiac surgery in a high selected cohort patients.Aortic stenosis one most common valvular heart diseases well recognized risk factor for perioperative mortality.Between May 2012 July 2013 we enrolled 15 consecutive patients with severe allow urgent major surgery. They had been excluded from surgical valve replacement transcatheter implantation.Fifteen underwent BAV as bridge...
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This study provides recent data on the association between cardiac computed tomography (CT) derived MAC 15 years of stroke in a racially diverse cohort.All multiethnic studies atherosclerosis participants ( n = 6814) who completed CT at baseline were included this analysis. score was calculated from using Agatston volume methods. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression...
Arterial stiffness expressed by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a marker of arteriosclerosis. It can increase load, which in turn may affect the viscoelastic myocardial properties and left ventricular compliance. In present study, we sought to investigate association between CAVI structure assessed cardiac computed tomography (CT) multiethnic adult cohort.CAVI was measured using screening system VaSera VS-1500 AU (Fukuda Denshi, Japan). The average right values utilized for analysis....
Background and purpose Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) has been associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke. Older age, thicker mitral leaflets, significant regurgitation (MR) leading to atrial fibrillation have traditionally considered factors for stroke in MVP. However, specific MVP-stroke subtypes are not well defined. The aim this study is evaluate clinical echocardiographic parameters, including left (LA) function, MVP cryptogenic (C) vs. non-cryptogenic (NC) Methods In...
Prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients with zero calcium score (CACS) are unclear, particularly regard to the diabetic population, which represents, per se, a subgroup at increased cardiovascular risk. The aim this study was investigate prevalence CAD by computed tomography angiography (CCTA) cohort CACS.All consecutive diabetics referred for suspicion were included study. All subjects underwent noncontrast scan followed CCTA. CACS quantified using...
