Aim: To study parameters of collagen myocardial metabolism in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) and to assess the effect of concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on their levels.
Materials And Methods: We examined 130 patients with ICMP (mean age 55.5 [43; 63] years) and 42 patients with ICMP and COPD (mean age 54.8 [41; 63] years). Determination of serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), its tissue inhibitor (TIMP-1), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and autoantibodies to collagen types I and III was carried out with the help of commercial test systems based on the method of solidphase enzyme immunoassay. Calculation of the volume fraction of interstitial collagen (VFIC) of the myocardium was carried out by the method of J. Shirani.
Results: In patients with ICMP combined with COPD, as well as in patients with ICMP we found disbalance in the metabolism of collagen of the extracellular matrix. At the same time, in patients with ICMP+COPD, processes of collagen degradation at the background of extracellular matrix fibrosis were found to be even more pronounced than in patients with ICMP. This was evidenced by the absence of statistically significant differences in the myocardial VFIC (p=0.703), and the level of TGF-β1 (p=0.074), as well as statistically significant higher activity of MMP-1 (p=0.037), MMP-1 / TIMP-1 ratio (p=0.045), and production of autoantibodies to collagen types I and III (p=0.042, p=0.039, respectively).
Conclusion: The presence of COPD in patients with ICMP is associated with increased disbalance of the proteolysis-antiproteolysis system in the direction of collagen breakdown that can lead to more pronounced structural changes of the myocardium, and, as consequence, to aggravate functional impairment of the organ.

Heart failure with improved ejection fraction: patient characteristics, clinical outcomes and predictors for improvement.
Front Cardiovasc Med
July 2024
Cardiovascular Division, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Ramat-Gan, Israel.
Background: Heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) is a recently recognized entity presenting a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Our aim was to characterize the profile of HFimpEF patients and evaluate predictors for EF lack of improvement among heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients.
Methods: We included ambulatory HFrEF patients (EF≤40%) between January 1, 2015, and September 1, 2022, with two consecutive echocardiography exams at least 6 months apart.
Classifying Individuals With Rheumatic Conditions as Financially Insecure Using Electronic Health Record Data and Natural Language Processing: Algorithm Derivation and Validation.
ACR Open Rheumatol
August 2024
Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Objective: We aimed to examine the feasibility of applying natural language processing (NLP) to unstructured electronic health record (EHR) documents to detect the presence of financial insecurity among patients with rheumatologic disease enrolled in an integrated care management program (iCMP).
Methods: We incorporated supervised, rule-based NLP and statistical methods to identify financial insecurity among patients with rheumatic conditions enrolled in an iCMP (n = 20,395) in a multihospital EHR system. We constructed a lexicon for financial insecurity using data from available knowledge sources and then reviewed EHR notes from 538 randomly selected individuals (training cohort n = 366, validation cohort n = 172).
Combined use of frontal plane QRS-T angle and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio in the risk prediction of ischemic cardiomyopathy in STEMI.
Ann Noninvasive Electrocardiol
January 2024
Department of Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey.
Background: Frontal plane QRS-T angle (fQRS-T) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are highly important parameters that well-predict unfavorable outcomes in patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI).There are limited data on the predictive significance of ischemic cardiomyopathy (I-CMP) from the combination of fQRS-T and PLR in STEMI, compared to using fQRS-T and PLR alone.
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the ability of the combination of fQRS-T and PLR routinely obtained on admission to identify STEMI patients at risk of I-CMP.

Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) have been established for primary and secondary prevention of fatal arrhythmias and effectively reduce the rate of sudden cardiac death (SCD). This study aims to evaluate the indications and effectiveness of ICD for primary and secondary prevention of SCD.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 229 patients (136 for primary and 93 for secondary prevention) with ICD implantations in Imam Khomeini Hospital, Ahvaz, between 2017 and 2020.
