Abstract Background Obesity increases and surgical weight reduction decreases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) heart failure (HF). We hypothesized that surgically induced loss may favorably affect left (LA) mechanical function measured by longitudinal strain, which has recently emerged as an independent imaging biomarker increased AF HF risk. Methods retrospectively evaluated echocardiograms performed before 12.2 ± 2.2 months after bariatric surgery in 65 patients with severe obesity...
Background: We aimed to determine the influence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on blood pressure (BP) control assessed by ambulatory monitoring (ABPM). Methods: Office BP and ABPM data from two visits conducted within a 9–15 months interval were collected patients treated for hypertension. In prepandemic group, both took place before, while in Visit-1 was done before Visit-2 during period. Results: Of 1811 191 excluded because they did not meet required time frames. Thus,...

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Obesity is one of the major risk factors for development heart failure (HF), although exact underlying mechanism remains unclear. In clinical setting, assessing impact obesity on cardiovascular system difficult due to comorbidities. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The purpose this study was evaluate an independent influence left ventricular (LV) morphology and function. To eliminate hemodynamic metabolic confounders, we...
A previously healthy 37-year-old man was admitted to a nephrology clinic due the left-sided abdominal pain, petechiae and recurring hematuria. Laboratory tests revealed high levels of C-reactive protein Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies (cANCA). On this basis, vasculitis suspected prednisone in doses administered. After 30 days immunosuppressive treatment, persistence symptoms, patient referred for an ambulatory echocardiographic study, because abnormal result, he our department....
<b>Background:</b> many reports show that women are more frequently hospitalized for asthma than men but data in-hospital sex-related differences scarce. <b>Objective:</b> the aims of study were: 1/ to assess gender distribution among patients exacerbation; 2/ compare basic clinical characteristics between and admitted due asthma, 3/ analyze course outcome in patients. Materials methods: this is a single-center retrospective analysis exacerbation 2014 2017. Pre-and were compared male female...
