Aim The study aimed to detect subtle left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, reflected by abnormal global longitudinal strain (GLS), in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to evaluate any improvement in GLS at 24 hours and six months post-PCI. Methods A total of 94 patients with stable CAD scheduled for elective PCI at our hospital were evaluated using conventional 2D echocardiography and GLS prior to the procedure. Follow-up assessments were conducted at 24 hours and six months post-PCI.

We analysed outcome parameters and toxicities for patients being treated with radiotherapy (RT) for LR-HNSCC and investigated patient and disease related prognostic factors in this prognostically unfavourable group.
Methods: This analysis includes 101 LR-HNSCC patients treated with RT, radio-chemotherapy (RCT) or radio-immunotherapy (RIT) between 2010 and 2018 at a high-volume tertiary centre.
