Persistent myocardial impairment proved by histopathologic studies universally existed in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD); however, the long-term effects on myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients, especially on patients without coronary artery lesions (CALs), is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients during late convalescent stage by speckle-tracking adenosine triphosphate (AT) echocardiography. A total of 63 antecedent KD patients at least 4 years after the disease onset and 40 age- and gender-matched normal controls were prospectively enrolled.

Introduction: Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is a common complication of sepsis and is associated with higher mortality. To date, effective diagnostic and management strategies are still lacking. Recent studies suggest that ferroptosis plays a critical role in sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) improved cardiac dysfunction and survival in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced endotoxemia.

The effects of triathlon exercise on cardiac function are well documented. While Olympic triathlon (swim-bike-run) remains the standard format, increasing concerns about water quality in natural waterways present ongoing challenges for open-water swimming events, highlighting the potential need to consider alternative formats such as duathlon (run-bike-run) in some circumstances. An additional run may increase the overall metabolic and cardiovascular demand compared with the swim in triathlon, leading to reduced future performance.
