We aimed to investigate the correlation of graft flow measurements between transit-time flow measurement (TTFM) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery and dynamic cardiac CT after the surgery.Fourteen patients underwent CABG with TTFM and postoperative dynamic cardiac CT; 11 internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts and 15 saphenous venous grafts (SVGs) were included for analysis. Pearsons correlation analysis was performed for the comparisons of the TTFM and cardiac dynamic CT flow parameters.TTFM was not significantly correlated with the CT flow of the ITA grafts (r = -0.23, P = .49), but it had a very strong correlation with the CT flow of the SVGs (r = 0.83, P < .01).In patients who underwent CABG surgery, dynamic cardiac CT enabled quantitative evaluation of SVG flow, with good correlation with TTFM.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex and heterogeneous cardiac disorder, often complicated by cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition marked by severe cardiac output failure. Managing cardiogenic shock in HCM patients presents unique challenges due to the distinct pathophysiology of the disease, which includes dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, diastolic dysfunction, and myocardial ischemia. This review discusses current and emerging therapeutic strategies tailored to address the complexities of HCM-associated cardiogenic shock and other diseases with similar pathophysiology that provoke left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

The Purpose: Evaluation of the short-term and long-term results of a phased correction of the tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) with stenting of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in comparison with a one-stage total correction (TC) of the defect.
Materials And Methods: Two groups of patients with classical ToF were formed. Group 1 (n = 25; median age = 72 days) was initially represented by children with ToF with a more severe clinical status (median weight = 3.
Inflammation and nutritional status in relation to mortality risk from cardio-cerebrovascular events: evidence from NHANES.

Objective: Inflammation and nutritional status are closely associated with the mortality risk of survivors of cardio-cerebrovascular events. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between inflammation and nutritional indices and mortality among, identifying the most predictive indices.
Methods: This study included cohort data of the survivors of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) in 1999-2010.
Quantifying CSF Dynamics disruption in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus using phase lag between transmantle pressure and volumetric flow rate.

Department of Radiology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA.
Background And Purpose: Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics disorder as evidenced by the delayed ascent of radiotracers over the cerebral convexity on radionuclide cisternography. However, the exact mechanism causing this disruption remains unclear. Elucidating the pathophysiology of iNPH is crucial, as it is a treatable cause of dementia.

Long-term electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is crucial for detecting and diagnosing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Monitoring cardiac health and activities using efficient, noninvasive, and cost-effective techniques such as ECG can be vital for the early detection of different CVDs. Wet electrode-based traditional ECG techniques come with unavoidable limitations of the altered quality of ECG signals caused by gel volatilization and unwanted noise followed by dermatitis.
