AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how hemodynamics and heart rhythm are affected following an ischemic stroke using a rat model.
- Different levels of heart functional capacity (HFC) in rats showed varying degrees of hemodynamic disturbances in the subacute stage of stroke, with those having low HFC facing more severe issues.
- Although autonomic heart regulation issues related to HFC were not observed immediately after the stroke, HFC was found to be a predictor for recovery outcomes later on.
Article Abstract
Objective. To investigate the characteristics of hemodynamics and regulation of heart rhythm after ischemic stroke. Material and methods. We used a rat photochemical model of ischemic stroke. Results. In the subacute stage of stroke, different hemodynamic disturbances in rats with high and low levels of heart's functional capacity (HFC) were found, with more severe disturbances in animals with low HFC. Conclusion. Though the disturbances in the autonomic heart regulation, related to HFC, did not emerge in the early post-stroke stage, HFC predicted the trajectory of post-stroke recovery.

Purpose: To investigate the heritability of genetic influence on macular choroidal vascularity index (CVI).
Methods: Total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), and CVI was measured using horizontal scan of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging in the 373 healthy twin participants. Characteristics of the participants were investigated, including age, sex, axial length, hypertension, diabetes, drinking habits, and smoking status.

Vasoplegia is a pathophysiologic state of hypotension in the setting of normal or high cardiac output and low systemic vascular resistance despite euvolemia and high-dose vasoconstrictors. Vasoplegia in heart, lung, or liver transplantation is of particular interest because it is common (approximately 29%, 28%, and 11%, respectively), is associated with adverse outcomes, and because the agents used to treat vasoplegia can affect immunosuppressive and other drug metabolism. This narrative review discusses the pathophysiology, risk factors, and treatment of vasoplegia in patients undergoing heart, lung, and liver transplantation.

Background: ANDROMEDA-SHOCK 2 is an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing hemodynamic phenotype-based, capillary refill time-targeted resuscitation in early septic shock to standard care resuscitation to test the hypothesis that the former is associated with lower morbidity and mortality in terms of hierarchal analysis of outcomes.
Objective: To report the statistical plan for the ANDROMEDA--SHOCK 2 randomized clinical trial.
Methods: We briefly describe the trial design, patients, methods of randomization, interventions, outcomes, and sample size.

Vascular compliance is an important predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Pulse pressure index (PPI) is a reliable indicator for evaluating vascular compliance. However, the association between PPI, all-cause mortality (ACM), and cardiovascular mortality (CVM) in patients with hypertension is still unclear.

Background: Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) occurs in patients with advanced liver disease and can be a contraindication to liver transplant (LT). Improvement of hemodynamic parameters with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies (including endothelin receptor antagonists [ERAs]) may help some patients to become eligible for LT.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective secondary data analysis to describe the clinical course and management of PoPH in patients on a US registry LT waitlist and outcomes in patients receiving an ERA.
