Background: Careful interpretation of the relation between phenotype changes of the heart and gene variants detected in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is important for patient care and monitoring.
Objective: We sought to assess the association between cardiac-related genes and whole-heart myocardial mechanics or morphometrics in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM).
Methods: It was a prospective study consisting of patients with NIDCM.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated how cancer patients' behaviors, tracked via smartphone sensors, were related to their fear of COVID-19 and their vaccination status, involving 202 patients from August 2022 to August 2023.
- - Results showed that most patients were vaccinated, with fully or unvaccinated individuals displaying greater fear of COVID-19 compared to those partially vaccinated; fear levels were notably higher among patients undergoing biological therapies.
- - Behavior analysis indicated that patients with higher COVID-19 fear were less mobile, spending more time at home and visiting fewer places, while vaccinated patients engaged in more outings compared to unvaccinated ones.
Background: Timely recognition of cancer progression and treatment complications is important for treatment guidance. Digital phenotyping is a promising method for precise and remote monitoring of patients in their natural environments by using passively generated data from sensors of personal wearable devices. Further studies are needed to better understand the potential clinical benefits of digital phenotyping approaches to optimize care of patients with cancer.
