Cardiovascular features of possible autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Low-grade incomplete post-dexamethasone cortisol suppression in patients with adrenal incidentalomas – recently defined as possible autonomous cortisol secretion (pACS) – has been associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality.

Topological constraints on spiral wave dynamics in spherical geometries with inhomogeneous excitability [PDF]
, 2004 We analyze the way topological constraints and inhomogeneity in the excitability influence the dynamics of spiral waves on spheres and punctured spheres of excitable media. We generalize the definition of an index such that it characterizes not only each

The normal ranges of cardiovascular parameters measured using the ultrasonic cardiac output monitor [PDF]
, 2017 The ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM) is a noninvasive transcutaneous continuous wave Doppler method for assessing hemodynamics. There are no published reference ranges for normal values in adults (aged 18– 60 years) for this device.

Body mass index, abdominal fatness, fat mass and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective studies [PDF]
, 2017 Different adiposity measures have been associ- ated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation, however, results have previously only been summarized for BMI. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of prospective studies to clarify

Cardiac magnetic resonance findings predict increased resource utilization in elective coronary artery bypass grafting [PDF]
, 2008 Morbidity following CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting) is difficult to predict and leads to increased healthcare costs. We hypothesized that pre-operative CMR (cardiac magnetic resonance) findings would predict resource utilization in elective CABG ...

Omega-3 Index and Sudden Cardiac Death [PDF]
Nutrients, 2010 Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an unresolved health issue, and responsible for 15% of all deaths in Western countries. Epidemiologic evidence, as well as evidence from clinical trials, indicates that increasing intake and high levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) protect from SCD and other major adverse cardiac events ...

Intradialytic exercise increases cardiac power index [PDF]
Journal of Nephropathology, 2019 Introduction: Mortality rates are high in end-stage renal disease due to cardiovascular complications. Perfusion of the myocardium declines during and after hemodialysis sessions with the potential for aerobic exercise to mitigate these during hemodialysis.
