Objectives: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is associated with a variety of cardiovascular disturbances such as left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, diastolic cardiac dysfunction, and hypertension. LV asynchrony is defined as the loss of the simultaneous peak contraction of corresponding cardiac segments. The objective of this study was to assess systolic asynchrony in patients with overt hyperparthyroidism.
Methods: Asynchrony was evaluated in 22 patients with PHP and 24 controls. All the patients and controls were subjected to a tissue synchronization imaging (TSI). The time to regional peak systolic tissue velocity (Ts) in LV by the six-basal-six-midsegmental model was measured on ejection phase TSI images and four TSI parameters of systolic asynchrony were computed.
Results: All TSI parameters of LV asynchrony increased in patients with PHP patients compared to the controls: the standard deviation (SD) of the 12 LV segments Ts (37.3±20.6 vs. 21.5±11.1, P=0.01); the maximal difference in Ts between any 2 of the 12 LV segments (111.2±59.8 vs. 70.2±32.1, P=0.01); the SD of the 6 basal LV segments (42.9±36.4 vs. 18.5±13, P=0.003); and the maximal difference in Ts between any 2 of the 6 basal LV segments (89.6±50.5 vs. 48±31.1, P=0.003).
Conclusion: Patients with PHP show an evidence of LV asynchrony by TSI. Asynchrony may contribute to the harmful cardiovascular effects of PHP.

Addressing Functional Mitral Regurgitation in Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Focus on Myocardial Segment Resynchronization Through Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) by coordinating heart muscle segments, especially between papillary muscles, beyond just boosting left ventricular (LV) performance.
- Eighteen patients with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent tests to measure heart function, and biventricular pacing showed a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation despite some patients showing no change in LV pressure.
- The study concludes that CRT effectively lowers FMR independently of LV systolic function improvements, highlighting the importance of understanding its mechanisms for better treatment outcomes.
Prehospital Partial Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta for Exsanguinating Subdiaphragmatic Hemorrhage.

Importance: Hemorrhage is the most common cause of preventable death after injury. Most deaths occur early, in the prehospital phase of care.
Objective: To establish whether prehospital zone 1 (supraceliac) partial resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (Z1 P-REBOA) can be achieved in the resuscitation of adult trauma patients at risk of cardiac arrest and death due to exsanguination.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetic cardiac disease and is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy. Although this hypertrophy often associates with sarcomeric gene mutations, nongenetic factors also contribute to the disease, leading to diastolic dysfunction. Notably, this dysfunction manifests before hypertrophy and is linked to hypercontractility, as well as nonuniform contraction and relaxation (myofibril asynchrony) of the myocardium.

In echocardiography, peak strain dispersion (PSD) is the standard deviation of the time to peak longitudinal strain for each left ventricular (LV) segment during systole. It assesses the coordination and synchrony of LV segment contractility. Global work efficiency (GWE) and global wasted work (GWW) quantify LV myocardial work and, if impaired, the coupling between LV systolic contraction and early relaxation.

Background: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is associated with increased cardiovascular events in patients with angina with non-obstructive coronary (ANOCA), especially heart failure. Conventional echocardiography is difficult to identify early alterations in cardiac function due to CMD.
Methods: We recruited 78 ANOCA patients.
