Maternal Cardiovascular Impairment in Pregnancies Complicated by Severe Fetal Growth Restriction [PDF]
—Fetal growth restriction and preeclampsia are both conditions of placental etiology and associated to increased risk for the long-term development of cardiovascular disease in the mother. At presentation, preeclampsia is associated with maternal global

Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 and echocardiography in sepsis [PDF]
Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) has emerged as a biomarker of cardiac stretch or remodeling, and has demonstrated a role in acutely decompensated heart failure. However, its role in sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction is still unknown.

The current study adopted an experimental paradigm of digital span to evaluate acute high‐altitude exposure impairment on working memory. The subjects showed obvious physiological adaptation mechanism at acute altitude. The results of hemodynamic response confirmed the important role of left DLPFC in the process of working memory, revealed abnormal ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. [PDF]
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has recently emerged as a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Contrary to initial beliefs, HFpEF is now known to be as common as heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)
