Diagnostic Efficacy of Natriuretic Peptide: NT-ProBNP in Hemodialysis Patients with Left Ventricular Failure

Süleyman Demirel Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi
Objective: In the general population, plasma concentrations of natriuretic peptides such as brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), are useful markers to predict left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction.

Right ventricular systolic function and cardiac resynchronization therapy

Cardiology Plus, 2019
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction on the response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and the impact of CRT on RV function in a beagle model of heart failure (HF).

Evaluation of right and left ventricular function using speckle-tracking echocardiography in thalassemic patients

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2021
Background : Beta-thalassemia major is the most common chronic hemolytic anemia among children and adolescents across the world. Several studies have demonstrated that thalassemic patients who have preserved left ventricle systolic function could still ...

Myocardial Strain to Detect Subtle Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction [PDF]

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2016
Abstract In daily clinical practice, LV systolic function is routinely assessed with the use of two-dimensional echocardiography. Using biplane LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, LVEF is calculated. The introduction of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography has improved the accuracy of echocardiographic assessment of ...

The Gut–Heart Axis in Systemic Sclerosis: Evidence From a Large Prospective Early Disease Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Cardiac involvement significantly impacts prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc), highlighting the need for early risk stratification. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are common and often manifest early. Emerging data suggest a link between GI and cardiac manifestations, possibly through shared mechanisms like dysautonomia.

Helium Protects Against Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction in Mice via Suppressing Toll-Like Receptor 4-Nuclear Factor κB-Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha/ Interleukin-18 Signaling

Chinese Journal of Physiology, 2020
The nonanesthetic noble gas helium (He) can protect many organs against ischemia and reperfusion injury, such as liver and heart. However, the role of He on cardiac dysfunction during sepsis is not clear.

Severity of Functional Mitral Regurgitation on Admission for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Predicts Long‐Term Risk of Rehospitalization and Death

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) has emerged as a therapeutic target in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. The significance of FMR in acute decompensated heart failure remains obscure.

Distinct Systemic Sclerosis Phenotypes Related to Ethnicity: An Opportunity to Personalize Care?

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The objective is to describe and compare demographic, clinical, and serological characteristics of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) according to ethnic background. Methods Participants enrolled in the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group cohort who self‐identified to a single ethnicity group were included.

Anorectal Dysfunction in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Phenotypes and Functional Patterns

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to characterize specific physiologic defects in anorectal dysfunction in systemic sclerosis (SSc) using anorectal manometry (ARM), evaluate associations with gastrointestinal (GI) and extraintestinal clinical phenotypes, and explore potential serologic markers for risk stratification.
