Lower NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations in Pacific peoples with heart failure

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations were measured in participants of two NZ HF cohorts and were significantly lower in Pacific peoples and Māori compared with NZ Europeans. After accounting for age, sex, BMI, eGFR, LVEF and presence of AF, NT‐proBNP plasma concentrations remained significantly lower for Pacific peoples, but not for Māori.

Percutaneous recanalization of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta in children using Brockenbrough needle and covered stents

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2016
Percutaneous treatment of totally occluded coarctation of the aorta has been reported predominantly in adults. The success and challenges of this procedure in children is reported in few patients.

Contribution a la modelisation et simulation numerique de l ecoulement du sang dans l artere [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
Numerous are the questionings raised by medicine interventionnelle, concerning the hold in charge of the pathologies of the arterial partition (aneurysm, dissection, coarctation, atherosclerosis).for it we made the modeling and the numeric simulation of the blood flow in the renal artery taken by the Medical imagery.

Update on preclinical models of cancer therapy‐related cardiac dysfunction: Challenges and perspectives. A scientific statement of the Heart Failure Association (HFA) of the ESC, the ESC Council of Cardio‐Oncology, and the ESC Working Group on Cellular Biology of the Heart

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
New anticancer therapies with potential cardiovascular side effects are continuously being introduced into clinical practice, with new and often unexpected toxicities becoming apparent only after clinical introduction. These unknown toxicities should be identified and understood beforehand to better prepare patients and physicians, enabling the ...

Infective endarteritis and false mycotic aneurysm complicating aortic coarctation

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2012
A 12-year-old boy with coarctation of aorta developed infective endarteritis and mycotic aneurysm at the site distal to coarctation. The computed tomography angiogram was very helpful in the diagnosis.

Heart-induced movements in the thorax as detected by MRI [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
In order to provide information for the use of radar in diagnostics a qualitative map of movements in the thorax has been obtained. This map was based on magnetic resonance image sequences of a human thorax during suspended respiration. The movements were measured using two distinct techniques.

Prenatal diagnosis and clinical pregnancy outcome of fetuses with conotruncal defects in a Chinese cohort

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to explore genetic etiologies of conotruncal defects (CTDs) in fetuses by analyzing the results of different genetic tests and to assess pregnancy outcomes of fetuses with CTD in a Chinese prenatal cohort. Methods A total of 146 fetuses that underwent invasive prenatal genetic testing for CTD at the prenatal ...

Relationships of maternal hemodynamics in the third trimester with fetal umbilical artery doppler indices, estimated fetal weight and birth weight in women with and without congenital heart disease

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To compare differences in maternal hemodynamics, measured non‐invasively by impedance cardiography and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)—at rest and with high‐intensity exercise—between pregnant women with corrected congenital heart disease (CHD) and low‐risk (LR) pregnant controls, and to correlate these findings with umbilical ...

Comparative study of wall shear stress at the ascending aorta for different mechanical heart valve prostheses [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
An experimental study is reported which investigates the wall shear stress (WSS) distribution in a transparent model of the human aorta comparing a bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV) with a trileaflet mechanical heart valve (TMHV) in physiological pulsatile flow.
