Equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography in the assessment of cardiotoxicity of chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy in patients with breast cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Multidrug chemotherapy increases the efficacyof the treatment, but at the same time rises its cardiotoxicity. Themajority of cardiac complications are caused by anthracyclines.Radiation therapy may intensify cardiotoxicity.

Effects of insulin-induced hypoglycaemia on cardiac function in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and people without diabetes. [PDF]
Abstract Aims Cardiovascular disease is the most common complication and cause of death in people with diabetes. Hypoglycaemia is independently associated with the development of cardiovascular complications, including death. The aim of this study was to assess changes in cardiac function and workload during acute hypoglycaemia in people with and ...

Validation of heart failure algorithm for diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract The aim of the meta‐analysis was to generate a more comprehensive understanding of the HFA‐PEFF score in the diagnosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and to pose clues in the field of scientific and clinical practice.

A significant proportion of patients experience delays in the diagnosis of heart failure due to the non‐specific signs and symptoms of the syndrome. Diagnostic tools such as measurement of natriuretic peptide concentrations are fundamentally important when screening for heart failure, yet are frequently under‐utilized. This clinical consensus statement

Left ventricular reverse remodelling and its predictors in non‐ischaemic cardiomyopathy
Abstract Adverse remodelling following an initial insult is the hallmark of heart failure (HF) development and progression. It is manifested as changes in size, shape, and function of the myocardium. While cardiac remodelling may be compensatory in the short term, further neurohumoral activation and haemodynamic overload drive this deleterious process ...

Abstract Aims We aimed to evaluate the effect of acute hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia on cardiac function in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and a control group. Materials and methods In a nonrandomized interventional study, insulin‐treated patients with T2D (N = 21, mean ± SD age 62.8 ± 6.5 years, body mass index [BMI] 29.0 ± 4.2 kg/m2, glycated
