Frequency-dependent hypotensive effect of cardiac pacing (CP) regarding type of circulation and stimulation regime under programmed changes of impulse frequency from 50 to 90 imp/min was studied in 92 patients (53 males, 39 females) with essential hypertension of the first, second and third degree and isolated systolic arterial hypertension. The rise of the above frequency over 80 imp/min was accompanied with a significant fall in systolic arterial pressure (SAP) in patients with hyperkinetic circulation while heart rhythm under 60 imp/min resulted in a significant lowering of diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) in patients with eukinetic and hypokinetic type of circulation. In regime VVI both SAP and DAP lowering was more pronounced than in AAI regime. The most prominent hypotensive effect was seen in VVI-stimulation complicated by ventriculoatrial conduction. Reprogramming of impulse frequency normalized arterial pressure in 43.3% patients with hyperkinetic type of circulation. Thus, a frequency-dependent hypotensive effect of programmed CP can be used for non-pharmacological correction of arterial hypertension and optimization of effectiveness of anti-hypertensive treatment in paced patients.

Background: Early and continuous exposure to painful stimuli in premature infants leads to short-and long-term complications. Listening to white noise is an accessible and inexpensive non-invasive method that can be used as a safe nursing intervention in hospitals. This study aimed to assess white noise's effect on premature Infants' physiological parameters during peripheral intravenous catheter insertion.

Background: Prone position has been diffusely applied in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients. Our aim is ascertaining the association between the physiologic response and the length of the first cycle of prone position and intensive care unit (ICU) mortality.
Methods: International registry including COVID-19 adult patients who underwent prone positioning.

Atherogenesis is prone in medium and large-sized vessels, such as the aorta and coronary arteries, where hemodynamic stress is critical. Low and oscillatory wall shear stress contributes significantly to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Murray's law minimizes energy expenditure in vascular networks and applies to small arteries.

: The utilization of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella has been suggested as means of left ventricular unloading in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) patients. This study aimed to assess the local hemodynamic alterations in VA-ECMO patients through simulation analyses. : In this study, a 0D-3D multiscale model was developed, wherein resistance conditions were employed to define the flow-pressure relationship.

Context: The impacts of elevated ketone body levels on cardiac function and hemodynamics in patients with heart failure (HF) remain unclear.
Objective: The effects of ketone intervention on these parameters in patients with HF were evaluated quantitatively in this meta-analysis.
