Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes: Pathophysiological mechanisms and opportunities for multiscale computational modelling and simulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Overview of multiscale cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes and how to model and simulate these changes using a human‐based, multiscale computational framework. Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes occurs at ionic channel, protein, cellular, tissue and whole‐organ level, affecting the electrophysiological function, mechanical

Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia augments left ventricular contractility

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Twenty‐four healthy adults were studied to determine the effects of an acute session of 40 min of intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia on cardiac performance. Cardiac function was assessed via echocardiography at rest and during graded stages of lower‐body negative pressure before and after the intervention to quantify load ...

Speckle tracking echocardiography: A new approach to myocardial function

World Journal of Cardiology, 2010
Echocardiography is the most common diagnostic method for assessing cardiac function but some limitations affect this technique. Until now, visual assessment of wall motion and thickening has allowed only a subjective evaluation of myocardial function and requires long-term training.

Long‐term passive heat acclimation enhances maximal oxygen consumption via haematological and cardiac adaptation in endurance runners

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Figure Legend Endurance‐trained runners completed a 5‐week hot‐water‐immersion (HWI) intervention (≥40°C, 45 min, five sessions per week) and a training‐matched control period in a cross‐over design. HWI induced a 33 g increase in haemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and a 10 mL expansion in left‐ventricular end‐diastolic volume (LVEDV), resulting in a 2.

Disseminated Invasive Aspergillosis in a Young Patient With Chronic Alcohol Use and Seemingly Preserved Immunocompetence: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive aspergillosis, though typically seen in immunocompromised patients, can also affect immunocompetent individuals and mimic pulmonary malignancy. This case highlights the importance of considering fungal infections in the differential diagnosis of chronic respiratory symptoms, particularly in patients with risk factors such as heavy ...

Early detection of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis by speckle-tracking echocardiography

Heart India
Background: In individuals with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cardiovascular imaging modalities show a high prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), systolic/diastolic dysfunction and ventricular dilatation (dilated cardiomyopathy), which are ...

Increased Skeletal Muscle Fat in Patients With Haematological Cancer Is Associated With Reduced Cardiorespiratory Fitness

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with haematological cancer often exhibit reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. The mechanisms underlying this impairment are multifactorial, but the contribution of skeletal muscle fat infiltration has not been evaluated.

Novel Echocardiographic Index for Risk Stratification of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Mortality Based on Right Ventricular Function

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Patients undergoing ICD implantation with both preprocedural echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were retrospectively analyzed to assess right ventricular (RV) function. Echocardiographic RV fractional area change (RVFAC) and the contraction pressure index (CPI), as well as CMR‐derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF), predicted ...
