The Influence of Non-Dipping Pattern of Blood Pressure in Gestational Hypertension on Early Onset of Hypertension Later in Life-Single Center Experience in Very-High-Risk Southeast and Central European Country.

Gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with the onset of hypertension. This study aimed to investigate whether the blood pressure (BP) pattern in GH is associated with the prevalence of hypertension later in life. In this prospective cohort study pregnant women screened for GH underwent medical history, laboratory analysis, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (AMBP), and transthoracic echocardiography (with left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS)) assessment.

Cardiac biomarkers alterations in rapid weight loss and high-intensity training in judo athletes: a crossover pilot study.

Background: Studies evaluating alterations in cardiac biomarkers in rapid sport-associated weight loss (RWL) and high-intensity sport-specific training (HISST) are lacking. This pilot study aimed to examine the effects of RWL and HISST on heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac biomarkers, and left ventricular systolic function. Nine elite male judokas participated in the presented survey.

Molecular Hydrogen for Outpatients with COVID-19 (Hydro-COVID): A Phase 3 Randomised, Triple-Blinded, Pragmatic, Placebo-Controlled, Multicentre Trial.

. Due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptosis, and anti-fatigue properties, molecular hydrogen (H) is potentially a novel therapeutic nutrient for patients with coronavirus acute disease 2019 (COVID-19). We determined the efficacy and safety profile of hydrogen-rich water (HRW) to reduce the risk of COVID-19 progression.

Relevance of the TAS'/PASP Ratio as a Predictor of Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure with a Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Background: There is evidence that right ventricular (RV) contractile function, especially its coupling with the pulmonary circulation, has an important prognostic value in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Aims: This study aimed to identify the best echocardiographic parameters of RV function and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) alone or in the form of the index of right ventricular-pulmonary artery coupling (RV-PA coupling) to determine the best predictor of 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), which were defined as cardiovascular death and cardiac decompensation in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Methods And Results: The study enrolled 191 HFrEF patients (mean age 62.
