Development of a Personalized Visualization and Analysis Tool to Improve Clinical Care in Complex Multisystem Diseases With Application to Scleroderma

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective In complex diseases, it is challenging to assess a patient's disease state, trajectory, treatment exposures, and risk of multiple outcomes simultaneously, efficiently, and at the point of care. Methods We developed an interactive patient‐level data visualization and analysis tool (VAT) that automates illustration of the trajectory of a ...

Effects of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy on left ventricular myocardial work in obese patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundObesity is a global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric surgery, but its effect on cardiac functions remains unclear.

The temporal trends and short‐ and long‐term mortality of people with acute myocardial infarction and rheumatoid arthritis: a nationwide cohort study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Aims We investigated whether a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects the quality of inpatient acute myocardial infarction (AMI) care and long‐term mortality post‐AMI. Methods We analysed data from 784,091 adults, 6,047 with a diagnosis of RA, from England and Wales hospitalised with AMI between 2005 and 2019 from the MINAP registry, linked ...

The association between left ventricular mass index and coronary collateral circulation in patients with chronic total occlusion

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2019
Objective: Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy predisposes the myocardium to ischemia through several mechanisms. The LV mass index (LVMI) is used as a readily available and reliable measurement of LV hypertrophy.

Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for determining left ventricular mass in young healthy men; data from the LARGE Heart study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Doubts remain over the use of the ECG in identifying those with increased left ventricular (LV) mass. This is especially so in young individuals, despite their high prevalence of ECG criteria for LV hypertrophy.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Left Ventricular Mass Index in Hypertensive Children [PDF]

Hypertension, 2002
To determine whether ambulatory blood pressure is more predictive of left ventricular hypertrophy than is casual blood pressure in hypertensive children, echocardiography and ambulatory blood pressure data from 37 untreated hypertensive children were analyzed.

Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Combined pressure and volume loading for left ventricular training in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteriesCentral MessagePerspective

JTCVS Open
Objective: Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries may require left ventricular training before the double switch operation. We evaluated the effects of combined pressure and volume loading.
