Aims: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction may lead to heart failure. A high body mass index (BMI) is associated with worse LV diastolic function. However, knowledge of the longitudinal relation between changes in BMI and LV diastolic function is limited.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively identified 165 asymptomatic individuals (aged 60 ± 10 years, 55% male) with preserved LV ejection fraction, who underwent repeated health check-ups (median interval: 365 days) at our hospital between 2009 and 2012. The longitudinal data were analysed using a linear mixed-effects model adjusted for important clinical variables at baseline to evaluate the associations between changes in BMI and LV diastolic function from one visit to the next. Baseline characteristics were BMI, 23 ± 3 kg/m2; E/E' ratio, 9 ± 2; E' velocity, 8 ± 2 cm/s; and left atrial (LA) volume index, 26 ± 8 mL/m2. Eighty-two of our participants had baseline LV diastolic dysfunction. In multivariable analyses, a BMI change was associated with a change in LV diastolic function. A one-unit decrease in BMI between consecutive visits corresponded to an average decrease in LA volume index of 0.80 mL/m2 (95% confidence interval: 0.38, 1.23; P < 0.001), a decrease in E/E'ratio of 0.11 (-0.015, 0.23; P = 0.086), and an increase in E' velocity of 0.11 cm/s (0.18, 0.031; P = 0.006).
Conclusion: Our study showed that there was an association between changes in BMI and LV diastolic function. A decrease in BMI corresponded to a significant decrease in LA volume index and a significant increase in E' velocity.

Echocardiographic index of left ventricular performance for prognostication in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: the central role of stroke volume index.

Introduction: Cardiac amyloidosis typically causes restrictive cardiomyopathy, in which the impairment of diastolic function is dominant. Echocardiography provides prognostic information through some important parameters: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS). However, LVEF often remains preserved despite disease progression, and GLS is not routinely performed as it is limited by suboptimal image quality.

Background: Recent research has revealed the potential value of machine learning (ML) models in improving prognostic prediction for patients with trauma. ML can enhance predictions and identify which factors contribute the most to posttraumatic mortality. However, no studies have explored the risk factors, complications, and risk prediction of preoperative and postoperative traumatic coagulopathy (PPTIC) in patients with trauma.

Background: The major of anticancer therapies induce a wide spectrum of cardiotoxic effects. Early identification of anticancer treatment-associated cardiotoxicity is critical to informing decisions on subsequent interventions. Myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) has been proposed as a useful parameter for quantifying the early cardiotoxicity of cancer-related treatment.

Purpose: We hypothesized that male and female volunteers would exhibit distinct changes in cardiac morphology, systolic, and diastolic function following endurance (END) and resistance (RES) training.
Methods: Thirty-eight females and 26 males participated in a randomized cross-over design trial in which all participants completed 12-weeks END and RES, separated by a 12-week washout. Echocardiograms assessed morphology (left ventricular mass, LVM), systolic function (ejection fraction, EF, and global longitudinal strain, GLS), diastolic function (mitral valve velocities, E, A; tissue Doppler velocities, e', a'), and left atrial volume.
