The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]
The term 'athlete's heart' refers to a clinical picture characterized by a slow heart rate and enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach to the athlete's heart aims to differentiate physiological changes due to intensive training in the

SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Left Atrium Volume Index Profile in Diastolic Dysfunction
Background. Diastolic dysfunction is frequently found in hypertension,usually accompanied with left ventricular hypertrophy. Several parameter was developed to assess the diastolic function including left atrial volume index, E/A, DT, IVRT, S/D, E/e ...

Physiological and clinical consequences of relief of right ventricular outflow tract obstruction late after repair of congenital heart defects. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is a common problem after repair of congenital heart disease. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) can treat this condition without consequent pulmonary regurgitation or ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: Early diastolic relaxation and late diastolic compliance
The fundamental importance of cardiac filling in regulating performance of the heart was recognized by Starling (I) early in this century. Development of comprehensive ventricular function curves by Sarnoff and others (la,2) beginning in the 1950s focused attention on the role of ventricular compliance in influencing cardiac pump performance by ...

Adipocytes in Aortic Stenosis: Association With Clinical and Morphological Indices
ABSTRACT Recently, great attention has been given to understanding the new pathogenetic mechanisms underlying aortic stenosis (AS). The study aims to understand the role of mature adipocytes in AS and their association with histologic, clinical, and echocardiographic data, an area previously overlooked in AS research.
