Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]

, 2018
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job

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 ...

Prognostic role of TAPSE to PASP ratio in outpatients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. [PDF]

ESC Heart Fail
Abstract Aims Few data are available regarding the role of tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP), a measurement of right ventricular to pulmonary artery coupling, in patients with chronic heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]

, 2000
OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction [PDF]

Circulation, 2020
Background: The term “end stage” has been used to describe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), defined as occurring when left ventricular ejection fraction is <50%. The prognosis of HCM-LVSD has reportedly been poor, but because of its relative rarity, the natural history ...

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...

Echocardiography during submaximal isometric exercise in children with repaired coarctation of the aorta compared with controls [PDF]

, 2019
Objective Patients with repaired coarctation (RCoA) remain at higher risk of cardiac dysfunction, initially often only detected during exercise. In this study, haemodynamics of isometric handgrip (HG) and bicycle ergometry (BE) were compared in patients ...

Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction [PDF]

Hypertension, 2010
Patients who enter into the most advanced phase of chronic kidney disease, that is, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), show an exceptionally high risk. Although the proportion of patients dying because of cardiovascular disease in this population does not differ from the corresponding proportion in the general population,1 the absolute risk for all-cause ...

Myocardial strain to detect subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction [PDF]

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2016
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 LVEF. However, calculated LVEF
