The circadian heart rate course was assessed in 3 groups of patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 10-15%, 20-25% and 30-35%. The study comprised 36 persons. In 9 patients heart failure was due to MI and in 17--to dilated cardiomyopathy. Those with atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, diabetes, valvular heart diseases and with central system disorders were excluded from the study. Left ventricular ejection fraction was evaluated by echocardiography. Heart rate, calculated as a mean value every 5 minutes, was taken in patients during 24 hour recordings. For each patient separately, mean value of all measurement was calculated. Then a ratio of each actual value to the mean value was calculated. This ratio was defined as relative heart rate; [formula: see text] Circadian heart rate courses were approximated by Fourier row: [formula: see text]. The 24 harmonics were analyzed. Statistically significant differences in circadian courses were closed to amplitudes of 1st, 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 18th harmonics. Using test of variance homogeneity it has been demonstrated that variability of amplitudes of 12th and 17th harmonics as well as phase of 5th harmonic depend on left ventricular ejection fraction.

Background: Non-adherence to cardiovascular medications is a global problem with clinical, economic, and humanistic consequences. Investigation of this problem may open the road for proper management of cardiovascular diseases.
Objective: Our objectives were to assess the level of adherence to, and to examine factors influencing adherence to, cardiovascular medications in subjects visiting a heart center in Sudan.

Personalized sports training plans are essential for addressing individual athlete needs, but traditional methods often need to integrate diverse data types, limiting adaptability and effectiveness. Existing machine learning (ML) and rule-based approaches cannot dynamically generate context-specific training programs, reducing their applicability in real-world scenarios. This study aims to develop a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)- based framework to create context-specific training plans by integrating numeric attributes (e.

Purpose: Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive therapeutic procedure that consists of irradiating a local area of the skin with red and near-infrared lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs). Local PBM has been studied as a method to improve exercise performance and recovery. This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of whole-body PBM for exercise performance and recovery, comparing its findings to the established effects of localized PBM.

Purpose: To summarize the latest research on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C).
Recent Findings: The epidemiology of MIS-C has been dynamic since its initial description. The pathogenesis remains poorly understood.

Unlabelled: It is known that in most cases of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS), apnoeas and hypoventilation occur at birth. Nevertheless, a detailed description of initial symptoms, including pregnancy events and diagnostic tests performed, is warranted in infants with neonatal onset of CCHS, that is, in the first month of life. The European Central Hypoventilation Syndrome Consortium created an online patient registry from which 97 infants (44 females) with CCHS of neonatal onset and PHOX2B mutation from 10 countries were selected.
