Longitudinal cardiac imaging for assessment of myocardial injury in non-hospitalised community-dwelling individuals after COVID-19 infection: the Rotterdam Study.
Heart
January 2025
Epidemiology, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the presence of myocardial injury after COVID-19 infection and to evaluate the relation between persistent cardiac symptoms after COVID-19 and myocardial function in participants with known cardiovascular health status before infection.
Methods: In the prospective population-based Rotterdam Study cohort, echocardiography and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) were performed among participants who recovered from COVID-19 at home within 2 years prior to inclusion in the current study. Persistent cardiac symptoms comprised only self-reported symptoms of chest pain, dyspnoea or palpitations lasting >4 weeks after COVID-19 infection.
Effect of trimetazidine on left ventricular functions and cardiac biomarkers in diabetic patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: a randomized controlled trial.
Sci Rep

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
We investigated the impact of trimetazidine treatment on left ventricular (LV) functions and cardiac biomarkers in diabetic patients with diastolic dysfunction as an early stage of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Sixty-three patients were randomly assigned to receive either trimetazidine or a placebo for 3 months. At baseline and after 3-months of treatment, measurements of serum levels of glycemic control parameters, lipid profile, tumor necrosis factor alpha, transforming growth factor beta 1, n-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide and assessment of modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score, echocardiographic indices of LV functions and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) were performed.

Department of Respiratory Medicine and Allergology, COPD Center, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Department of Internal Medicine and Clinical Nutrition, Institute of Medicine, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has been evaluated in COPD, but with varying results. We aimed to evaluate whether a tablet system that monitors disease-related parameters in patients with COPD could influence physical and mental health-related quality of life, compared with usual care (UC).
Methods: 70 patients with Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) group D COPD (61% women, aged 71±8 years, forced expiratory volume in 1 s % predicted 41±13%, COPD Assessment Test (CAT) 19±7 points) were recruited at the COPD centre in Gothenburg, Sweden, and randomised to a tablet-based RPM system or UC for a 26-week period, after which they crossed over to the alternative management for another 26 weeks.
Myopericarditis in a Patient With Cryoglobulinemic Kidney Disease: A Case Report.
Cureus

Nephrology, Ibn Sina Hospital, Rabat, Rabat, MAR.
Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is a rare small-vessel vasculitis leading to multi-organ dysfunction, often associated with chronic infections like hepatitis C virus (HCV), and autoimmune disorders. Most cases involve mixed monoclonal or polyclonal immunoglobulins, presenting symptoms such as purpura, arthralgias, and weakness. Severe organ involvement, particularly cardiac, is rare but potentially life-threatening.

: Patients with COPD have altered self-esteem, and good self-esteem promotes personal, health, and social success. Improving self-esteem could be a method for encouraging the maintenance of physical activity. Only one study has evaluated the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on self-esteem in moderate COPD patients.
