Article Synopsis
- Prolonged strenuous exercise can temporarily impair cardiac function and lead to pulmonary issues like bronchoconstriction, dynamic hyperinflation, and reduced gas exchange capacity.
- The study assessed 60 male triathletes before and after a long-distance race to compare cardiac function in those with and without exercise-induced pulmonary dysfunctions.
- Post-race findings showed declines in both systolic and diastolic functions across all groups, but those with diffusion impairment had more significant decreases in cardiac work and specific heart metrics.
Background: While admission of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in cardiology intensive care unit (CICU) is usual, in-hospital major outcomes in lower risk patients may be evaluated after early coronary angiography according to the European guidelines.
Methods: Consecutive ACS patients were prospectively included after coronary angiography evaluation within 24 h and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), when required. Patients were classified as high- or low-risk according to hemodynamics, rhythmic state, ischemic and bleeding risks.
