The relationship between either heart rate or diastolic time and ST segment depression has been evaluated during supine and upright exercise in 16 coronary artery disease patients. Diastolic perfusion time and ST segment depression were related by a linear regression, which was independent of exercise posture. The entity of ST segment depression was greater during supine than in upright exercise for the same heart rate. The assessment of the relationship between heart rate and diastolic perfusion time during two exercises showed that at the same heart rate, diastolic perfusion time was shorter in supine posture. In conclusion, the greater entity of ST segment depression induced by supine rather than upright exercise might be explained by the effect of supine posture on diastolic perfusion time.

Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), a precursor of creatine, has a recognized effect on ruminant performance when used as a dietary supplement. However, its impact on reproductive response remains to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to contribute initially to this area by supplementing the diets of ewes with a high dose of GAA, evaluating its effects on reproductive response.

Background: The role of maternal cardiac and hemodynamic assessment during normal and complicated pregnancies has gained attention during the last few years. Some researchers suggested that the manifestation of complications in pregnancy suffering from impaired placentation is mainly driven by pre-existing cardiac changes, identifiable at an early stage by echocardiographic and hemodynamic assessment. It is therefore of great importance to determine the link between placental perfusion and maternal cardiac function and hemodynamics.

Objective: Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) via the right axillary artery (RAA) has become an alternative perfusion strategy, especially in complex aortic procedures. This study delineates our technique and outcome with direct axillary cannulation utilizing the Seldinger technique, which we adopted as the standard perfusion strategy in the sternum-sparing minimally invasive total coronary revascularization via left anterior thoracotomy (TCRAT) using CPB.
Methods: From November 2019 to December 2023, a total of 413 consecutive patients underwent nonemergent isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) via left anterior minithoracotomy on CPB with peripheral cannulation via the RAA and cardioplegic cardiac arrest, using this technique as a default strategy in the daily routine.
The method described by Czosnyka is particularly suitable for measuring CPPe in patients undergoing cerebral angiography.

Background: The primary objective of this study was to estimate the effective cerebral perfusion pressure (CPPe), critical closing pressure (CrCP), and resistance-area product (RAP) of the intravascular common carotid artery using three different methods. These estimates were then compared to the reference method of linear regression (LR).
Methods: In our previous study, we employed linear regression to evaluate the values of CrCP and RAP.

Objective: Globally, one in four pregnant women is classified as overweight or obese, based on their prepregnancy body mass index (BMI). Obese pregnant women are at increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term cardiovascular disease that occurs earlier in life. This study aimed to assess maternal hemodynamic and vascular parameters at 35-37 weeks' gestation, to understand the alterations that may occur in association with increased maternal BMI and gestational weight gain, and to evaluate obesity-related pregnancy outcomes.
