Exercise mechanical efficiency typically falls within the range of approximately 20 to 25%. This means that a great part metabolic energy converted generate movement is released as heat. Therefore, rise in core temperature during endurance exercise humans proportional generated work. Cutaneous vasodilation occurs when threshold reached. The heart rate response thermal stress cardiovascular increases cardiac output and skin blood flow. complex phenomenon potentially influenced by involvement...
<ns3:p>Background Studies assessing sub-maximal aerobic capacity in non-cirrhotic chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate CHB compared apparently healthy participants (control-group). Methods A 6-min walk test was performed. The distance (6MWD) recorded, along with heart-rate, oxygen hemoglobin saturation (SpO2), blood pressure, and dyspnea (<ns3:bold> <ns3:italic>ie</ns3:italic> </ns3:bold>; visual analogue scale) at rest (Rest) the end (End) of test....
<ns3:p>Background Studies assessing sub-maximal aerobic capacity in non-cirrhotic chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients are scarce. This study aimed to evaluate CHB compared apparently healthy participants (control-group (CG)). Methods A 6-min walk test (6MWT) was performed. The distance (6MWD) recorded, along with heart-rate (HR), oxy-hemoglobin saturation (SpO<ns3:sub>2</ns3:sub>), blood-pressure, and dyspnea (<ns3:bold> <ns3:italic>ie</ns3:italic> </ns3:bold>; visual analogue scale) at rest...
We report the case of a 56‐year‐old woman with history rheumatic heart disease. The clinical, electrocardiographic, and radiologic findings suggested mitral stenosis. Left atrial obstructive myxoma simulating thrombus was found by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). diagnosis established use transesophageal (TEE), confirmed after surgery anatomical investigation. Cardiac associated stenosis may be difficult to diagnose accurately using TTE. advantage TEE in this patients is emphasized....
By releasing mediators, like nitric oxide (NO), vascular endothelium is considered so significant in the process of atherosclerotic . In fact, major functions NO consist inhibiting activation platelet, relaxing muscles (vascular and smooth ones), modulating growth migration cells ones). Therefore, this makes endothelial synthase (NOS3) considerably important because it possesses atheroprotective activity. Polymophisms, rs1808593 (10G/T) as well rs891512 (G24943A) within NOS3 gene, play role...
Despite the recent progress made in drug-eluting stents (DESs), in-stent restenosis (ISR) is still a common complication of percutaneous coronary interventions. This retrospective study from single center aimed to compare outcomes 79 patients with ISR treated paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB) angioplasty or DES implantation.From January 2017 December 2021, 83 lesions were included. Thirty-two PCB and 51 available catheterization laboratory. Baseline characteristics similar both groups. Mean...
Background & Objective: Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the highest leading causes death worldwide.Many biomarkers are universally accepted in clinical practice as crucial diagnostic acute MI.The current study aims to introduce new sensitivity aid diagnosis and facilitate faster decision-making emergency department.Materials Methods: A total 50 patients, diagnosed with myocardial infarction, Nasiriyah Heart Center, 30 age-matched healthy individuals were studied.Serum Cardiac Troponin I...
Simultaneous Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) involving multiple coronary arteries is an exceptionally rare occurrence. We present a unique case of 55-year-old woman with no known cardiovascular risk factors who presented severe chest pain and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). angiography revealed simultaneous SCAD in both the Right (RCA) Circumflex (Cx) artery, unprecedented finding. The patient underwent percutaneous intervention (PCI) for RCA received...
Background: The aim of our study was to assess the delay fibrinolysis in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) region and identify characteristics associated with prolonged delay. Patients Methods: We analyzed clinical a prospective cohort unselected patients admitted for (STEMI). conducted over three years 2007-2009 250 were included single center without capability percutaneous coronary intervention. Results: mean age 58±13, 7 years. Ninety percent consult directly emergency...
Objective: The aim of the current case-control study was to use speckle tracking imaging identify subclinical longitudinal left ventricular systolic function abnormalities in hypertensive subjects with normal ejection fraction (EF). Design and method: Standard 2D Doppler echocardiography, tissue imaging, strain were performed 50 control subjects. Peak (S) diastolic (E’) annular velocities obtained by whereas myocardial tracking. two groups comparable age (56,4 ± 8,87 years hypertensives...
<i>Introduction:</i> The association between cardiac hypertrophy and hyperinsulinism is mainly observed in the newborn, although onset older infants has also been described. aim of our study to research a newborns diabetic mothers. <i>Methodology</i>: This was cross-sectional study, involving one hundred twenty (120) mothers from August 1<sup>st </sup>to November 30, 2020. These had received an echocardiographic examination at laboratory FARHAT HACHED University Hospital Sousse (Tunisia)...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant cause of worldwide mortality and morbidity. This study aims to evaluate the levels serum H-FABP (fatty acid-binding protein), hs-CRP (high sensitivity- CPR), Lp-PLA2 (lipoprotein PLA2), PCT (procalcitonin) cytokines, in addition routinely used diagnostic tests, Troponin I (Trop I), Myoglobin (MYO) Creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) patients with stable angina determine their sensitivity diagnosing facilitating faster decision-making emergency unit. The...
