Introduction: High-dose chemotherapy for remission induction can induce cardiac toxicity prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, the details of cardiac function in patients undergoing HSCT are unclear, particularly during exercise. The aim of present study was to evaluate cardiac output responses to exercise in patients after high-dose chemotherapy before HSCT compared with in age-matched healthy controls.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients before HSCT (age 44.6 ± 15.2 years) and 13 controls (45.8 ± 16.0 years) performed the 6-min walk test (6MWT). Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), heart rate (HR), and cardiac index (CI) were continuously measured during the 6MWT using the noninvasive thoracic impedance method.
Results: No significant difference was observed in the six-minute walk distance (6MD) between the two groups. SV, CO, and CI both at rest and the end of the 6MWT in the patients were significantly lower, compared with the controls, but there was no significant difference in HR. In all subjects, the 6MD was positively correlated with SV, CO, CI, and HR after the 6MWT.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that cardiac output response to exercise indicates exercise intolerance, which may not be detected by 6MD in patients before HSCT.

Background: The prone position is commonly used in surgical procedures and is known to cause significant hemodynamic changes, particularly a reduction in cardiac output. This study aimed to explore the relationship between intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), airway pressure, and cardiac output during spine surgeries under general anesthesia.
Methods: Twenty-five patients undergoing elective spine surgery in the prone position were enrolled in this prospective observational study.

To develop a predictive model for improvement of ejection fraction 1 year after heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) following acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This nested case-control study included STEMI patients diagnosed with HFrEF from a prospective multicenter multimodality imaging cohort between August 2014 and March 2021. Based on the improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at baseline and 1-year follow-up, the patients were classified into the heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) group and the persistent HFrEF group.

In maximally Ca-activated demembranated fibres from the mammalian skeletal muscle, the depression of the force by lowering the temperature below the physiological level (~35 °C) is explained by the reduction of force in the myosin motor. Instead, cooling is reported to not affect the force per motor in Ca-activated cardiac trabeculae from the rat ventricle. Here, the mechanism of the cardiac performance depression by cooling is reinvestigated with fast sarcomere-level mechanics.

Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a diagnostic entity defined as cardiac dysfunction (diastolic and/or systolic) in patients with liver cirrhosis, in the absence of overt cardiac disorder. Pathogenically, CCM stems from a combination of systemic and local hepatic factors that, through hemodynamic and neurohormonal changes, affect the balance of cardiac function and lead to its remodeling. Vascular changes in cirrhosis, mostly driven by portal hypertension, splanchnic vasodilatation, and increased cardiac output alongside maladaptively upregulated feedback systems, lead to fluid accumulation, venostasis, and cardiac dysfunction.

Previously, we showed that blood-based polarizing cardioplegia exerted beneficial cardioprotection during hypothermic ischemia; however, these positive effects of blood-based polarizing cardioplegia were reduced during normothermic ischemia compared to blood-based hyperkalemic (depolarizing) cardioplegia. This study compares crystalloid polarizing cardioplegia to crystalloid depolarizing cardioplegia in a normothermic porcine model of cardiopulmonary bypass; Methods: Twelve pigs were randomized to receive either normothermic polarizing ( = 7) or depolarizing ( = 5) crystalloid cardioplegia. After the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, normothermic arrest (34 °C, 60 min) was followed by 60 min of on-pump and 90 min of off-pump reperfusion.
