Background: We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and performance of myocardial work echocardiography in assessing the severity of acute stroke and neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Methods: A total of 176 patients were examined by echocardiography within 24-48 hours of symptom onset with the measurement of global and regional myocardial work. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of each patient was documented.
Results: With the increase of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, myocardial constructive work or positive work decreased (P 15 or not. The optimal cutoff value was 3.89, with a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 93.0%, a positive predictive value of 84.9%, a negative predictive value of 100%, and an accuracy of 95.7%.
Conclusion: Noninvasive myocardial work is highly competent in assessing the severity of acute stroke and neurological deficits, which can be used as a powerful supplement to the conventional scoring system.

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) is a crucial tool for assessing cardiac morphology and function quickly and non-invasively without ionising radiation. However, the examination is subject to intra- and inter-user variability and recordings are often limited to 2D imaging and assessments of end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes. We have developed a novel, fully automated machine learning-based framework to generate a personalised 4D (3D plus time) model of the left ventricular (LV) blood pool with high temporal resolution.

Background: Diabetes increases ischemic heart injury via incompletely understood mechanisms. We recently reported that diabetic adipocytes-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV) exacerbate myocardial reperfusion (MI/R) injury by promoting cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Combining in vitro mechanistic investigation and in vivo proof-concept demonstration, we determined the underlying molecular mechanism responsible for diabetic sEV-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis after MI/R.

Ca overload and mitochondrial dysfunction play crucial roles in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Piezo1, a mechanosensitive cation channel, is essential for intracellular Ca homeostasis. The objective of this research was to explore the effects of Piezo1 on mitochondrial function during myocardial I/R injury.

Background: Myocardial work is a novel measure of potential value for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). It may therefore be useful in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), in whom the diagnostic work-up can be challenging.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of patients with CKD (G1-5, nondialysis-dependent).

Cardiovascular (CV) diseases caused 20.5 million deaths in 2021, making up nearly one-third of global mortality. This highlights the need for practical prognostic markers to better classify patients and guide treatment, especially in ischemic heart disease (IHD), which represents one of the leading causes of CV mortality.
