Biomass Fuel Use and Cardiac Function in Nepali Women. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
BackgroundExposure to household air pollution (HAP) from cooking with biomass fuel affects billions of people. We hypothesized that HAP from woodsmoke, compared to other household fuels, was associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, of which there

Thyroid hormone levels within reference range are associated with heart rate, cardiac structure, and function in middle-aged men and women [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Triiodothyronine (T3) has many effects on the heart, and marked changes in cardiac function and structure occur in patients with (subclinical) thyroid disease. We investigated whether between-subject variation in thyroid hormone levels within

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in non-myocardial disorders. [PDF]

open access: yesEur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging
Abstract This article reviews and discusses non-myocardial disorders that represent diagnostic challenges when evaluating patients for suspected heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This includes pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension, which is important to differentiate from post-capillary hypertension caused ...

The multi-modality cardiac imaging approach to the Athlete's heart: an expert consensus of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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

Preclinical Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Cardiology, 2014
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is commonly associated with left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and LV hypertrophy. We sought to examine whether preclinical LV diastolic dysfunction can occur independent of LV hypertrophy in MS. We recruited 90 consecutive participants with MS and without cardiovascular disease (mean age 46 years, 78% women) and 26 ...

Progression of Coronary Artery Calcium and Incident Heart Failure: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BackgroundAlthough the association between coronary artery calcium (CAC) and future heart failure (HF) has been shown previously, the value of CAC progression in the prediction of HF has not been investigated.

Subclinical HMOD in Hypertension: Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

open access: yesHigh Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2022
Arterial hypertension represents an important risk factor for the development of cardiac, vascular and renal events, predisposing to heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, peripheral artery disease, stroke, and chronic renal disease. Arterial hypertension leads to the development of subclinical hypertension mediated organ damage (HMOD) which has ...
