Key points The mechanisms responsible for the high inter‐individual variability in blood pressure responses to exercise remain unclear. Common genetic variants of genes related vascular transduction sympathetic outflow have been investigated, but influencing skeletal muscle afferent feedback during not explored. Single nucleotide polymorphisms TRPV1 rs222747 and BDKRB2 rs1799722 receptors present were associated with differences magnitude response static handgrip mental stress. combined...
Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic condition with fatigue as an essential but not precisely assessed symptom. While some well-specified scales for assessment in pathologies exist, data on their usefulness HH need to be collected. This research aimed evaluate using the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), Severity (FSS), and Chalder (CFQ).
Background Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a genetic disease that leads to increased iron accumulation in several organs. Cardiomyocytes are highly susceptible this damage owing their high uptake, and cardiovascular complications account for 1/3 of the deaths natural course HH. Additionally, excess intake associated oxidative stress may accelerate aging system, regardless age patients with We aimed investigate role standard speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) revealing heart...
Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) constitutes the main cause of morbidity and mortality in ischemic heart failure (HF) patients. The prognostic value autonomic nervous system parameters microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) this issue has not been identified to date. aim herein, was assess usefulness abovementioned prediction MACE HF patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction origin.Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), rate variability (HRV), MTWA other well-known clinical were...
Background: Patients hospitalized for heart failure (HF) exacerbation tend to have a poor prognosis. Most previous studies were performed in large clinical centers and detailed analyses of patients with HF district general hospitals are lacking. Aims: The aim this study was assess the outcomes admitted hospital. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled years 2010 2011 (191 patients) 2016 2017 (203 patients). primary secondary endpoints all‑cause mortality rehospitalization due exacerbation,...
Background: Haemochromatosis (HCH), a common genetic disorder with variable penetrance, results in progressive but understudied iron overload. We prospectively evaluated organ loading and cardiac function tertiary center HCH cohort. Methods: 42 patients (47 ± 14 years) 36 controls underwent laboratory workup magnetic resonance (CMR), including T1 T2* mapping. Results: Myocardial (myoT2*), myocardial (myoT1) liver (livT2*) were lower compared to (33 4 ms vs. 3 [p = 0.004], 964 33 979 25...
Abstract Background Despite continuous progress in medical treatment, heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of hospitalizations with a high all-cause mortality patients. Patients left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 50% are characterized by highest risk cardiovascular complications. The objective this study was to examine how LVEF and aging impact physiology. Methods Sixteen males physician diagnosed coronary artery disease = 42 ± 6% (age 62 6 years, BMI 29.1 3.8kg/m 2 ) 10...

Abstract Background Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a very common genetic disease. Abnormally increased intestinal iron absorption and accelerated recycling of lead to progressive body accumulation the generation oxidative stress in tissues. In late stages overload heart can left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. It believed, that two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE) evaluate LV dysfunction more accurately earlier than conventional echocardiography. Evaluation such...
We present two cases of patients who have had myocardial perforation due to implantation the cardiac stimulating system. The first is an 81-year-old woman with a history tachy-brady syndrome, in whom despite suspicion 2D echocardiographic (ECHO) imaging, computed tomography did not confirm problem, and eventually after few years clinical symptoms associated were revealed, which was clearly confirmed ECHO 3D study. In second case, 62-year-old man pacemaker implanted because atrioventricular...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a widespread genetic disease. Abnormally increased intestinal iron absorption and accelerated recycling lead to progressive body accumulation the generation oxidative stress in tissues. Venesection primary treatment such patients. Based on fact that two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE) can evaluate left ventricle (LV) dysfunction more accurately earlier than...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a condition caused by novel virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease's course ranges from entirely asymptomatic to severely ill patients. Hypercoagulation often complication of this disease, worsening the prognosis, which extremely important in patients at higher risk thromboembolic events, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), where thrombus formation left appendage (LAA) frequent. LAA could be various sizes,...
Background Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of poor outcome. Age considered one the most critical risk factors for both incidence and prognosis HF. Therefore we aimed to assess predictors in HF patients with particular attention elderly population.
