Determinants of cardiac output in health and heart failure
Abstract Sustained physical exercise depends on delivery of oxygenated blood to exercising muscle. At least among healthy individuals, bulk transport of blood is tightly matched to metabolic demand, such that cardiac output increases by ∼6 L/min for every 1 L/min increase in oxygen uptake. Multiple factors contribute to the regulation of cardiac output,

Background Cardiac MRI feature tracking (FT) allows objective assessment of segmental left ventricular (LV) function following a myocardial infarction (MI), but its utilization in sheep, where interventions can be tested, is lacking. Purpose To apply and validate FT in a sheep model of MI and describe post‐MI LV remodeling.

Objective We aimed to investigate the remission rate and disease duration in idiopathic or post–cardiac injury pericarditis and risk factors for disease duration and anti–interleukin‐1 (IL‐1) agent discontinuation. Methods This was a multicenter, longitudinal, observational study including 370 patients (51.4% female).

Cardiac surgery in a patient with implanted vagal nerve stimulator
The prevalence of epilepsy worldwide is around 0.5%–2% of the population. Antiepileptic medications are the first line of treatment in most of the cases but approximately 25%–30% epilepsy patients are refractory to the single or combination therapy.

Tuberculous pericarditis: Challenges and controversies in the modern era [PDF]
Tuberculous pericarditis (TBP) continues to wreak havoc across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite more than 5 decades of treatment and research into TBP, we are not much closer to alleviating the suffering and mortality associated with this extrapulmonary
