Effect of heart failure and atrial fibrillation on cardiorespiratory fitness in hemodialysis patients.

Purpose: Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are highly prevalent in hemodialysis. They are well-known significant modifiers of the disease associations with cardiovascular outcomes, but there is a lack of evidence regarding the effects of HF and AF on cardiorespiratory fitness. This study is the first to examine the possible association of the presence of HF and AF with exercise intolerance in patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Identifying the Role of Flow-Mediated Dilatation Assessment in Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Systematic Review.

In the context of the global burden of cardiovascular disease, the development of novel, patient-targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies is of paramount importance. Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) comprise a subset of cardiovascular disease, with constantly increasing prevalence requiring urgent attention. Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), a noninvasive method for the evaluation of endothelial function, has been previously implemented in patients with ACS.

Using ChatGPT to perform a systematic review: a tutorial.
