Ischemic heart disease (IHD) impacts the quality of life and is the most frequently reported cause of morbidity and mortality globally. To assess the changes in the exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in patients with vs. without ischemic heart disease (IHD) confirmed by stress computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CTP) imaging.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disease characterized by the progression of respiratory disorders, especially in adult patients. The purpose of the study was to identify volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as predictors of respiratory dysfunction, chronic respiratory infections of , , , and VOCs associated with severe genotype and highly effective modulator treatment (HEMT). Exhaled breath samples from 102 adults with CF were analyzed using PTR-TOF-MS, obtained during a forced expiratory maneuver and normal quiet breathing.

This is due to the growing need to improve efficiency in diagnostics and hasten the process of delivering treatment. Several institutions have actively assessed the possibility of creating algorithms for advancing our understanding of atrial fibrillation (AF), a common form of sustained arrhythmia.

Frequently, it is caused by brachiocephalic artery (BCA) atherosclerosis. Timely detection of atherosclerosis and its unstable course can allow for a timely response to potentially dangerous changes and reduce the risk of vascular complications.
