The aim of the study was to compare the effect of sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia on myocardial contractility during laparotomic cholecystectomy using transesophageal echo-Doppler. In the study, 40 patients were randomized into two groups, depending on whether they received sevoflurane or propofol anesthesia. Heart rate, cardiac index, stroke volume, left ventricular ejection time and acceleration were measured 10 minutes after induction of anesthesia, 1 minute and 25 minutes after incision. The results were analyzed using paired t-test and ANOVA. Significantly lower values were found for all parameters after the initial measurement (p < 0.05). In the sevoflurane group, stroke volume decreased from 66 +/- 6.2 ml/beat to 65 +/- 6.4 ml/beat and to 63 +/- 5.6 ml/beat 1 minute and 25 minutes after incision respectively. In the propofol group changes were from 64 ml/beat to 58 +/- 10.5 ml/beat to 58 +/- 8.6 ml/beat. Stroke volume was significantly higher in the sevoflurane than in the propofol group (p < 0.05). Sevoflurane anesthesia allows a better hemodynamic stability during laparotomic cholecystectomy.

Hemodynamic Evaluation of Intra-Aortic Dual-Balloon Pump Based on Fluid-Structure Interaction.

The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is a widely-used mechanical circulatory support device that enhances hemodynamics in patients with heart conditions. Although the IABP is a common clinical tool, its effectiveness in enhancing outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock remains disputed. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of intra-aortic dual-balloon pump (IADBP) and its impact on aortic hemodynamics compared with an IABP.

Unlabelled: Exercise-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (EiPH) is often treated with off-label use of pulmonary arterial hypertension-targeted therapy (PH-targeted therapy). Most measures of PAH severity are normal in patients with EiPH, posing challenges in evaluating for physiological improvement in patients treated for EiPH. In this study, we used non-invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to assess for objective improvement in patients treated for EiPH.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder characterized by restricted energy intake, intense fear of weight gain, and body image disturbances. It predominantly affects adolescent females, with rising prevalence, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. AN leads to multiple medical complications, including cardiovascular issues such as bradycardia, which may result from malnutrition, electrolyte disturbances, and myocardial atrophy.

Peak V̇O during handcycling in spinal cord injured athletes: incremental versus verification testing.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak), peak heart rate (HRpeak), and peak O2 pulse in hand-cyclists with spinal cord injury during two different tests on the same day.
- Eight competitive hand-cyclists performed a maximal incremental test and a verification test at 100% V̇O2peak speed, finding that V̇O2peak was significantly higher in the verification test.
- Despite similar HRpeak values in both tests, the verification test showed a higher peak O2 pulse, indicating its importance for accurately measuring V̇O2peak in this population.
