Background: This study aims to investigate the value of myocardial work (MW) parameters during the isovolumic relaxation (IVR) period in patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD).

Methods: This study prospectively recruited 448 patients with risks for LVDD and 95 healthy subjects. An additional 42 patients with invasive measurements of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function were prospectively included. The MW parameters during IVR were noninvasively measured using EchoPAC.

Results: The total myocardial work during IVR (MW), myocardial constructive work during IVR (MCW), myocardial wasted work during IVR (MWW), and myocardial work efficiency during IVR (MWE) of these patients were 122.5 ± 60.1 mmHg%, 85.7 ± 47.8 mmHg%, 36.7 ± 30.6 mmHg%, and 69.4 ± 17.8%, respectively. The MW during IVR was significantly different between patients and healthy subjects. For patients, MWE and MCW were significantly correlated with the LV E/e' ratio and left atrial volume index, MWE exhibited a significant correlation with the maximal rate of decrease in LV pressure (dp/dt per min) and tau, and the MWE corrected by IVRT also exhibited a significant correlation with tau.

Conclusions: MW during IVR significantly changes in patients with risks for LVDD, and is correlated to LV conventional diastolic indices, including dp/dt min and tau. Noninvasive MW during IVR may be a promising tool to evaluate the LV diastolic function.

Objective: The total examination time can be reduced if high-quality two-dimensional (2D) cine images can be collected post-contrast to minimize non-scanning time prior to late gadolinium-enhanced imaging. This study aimed to assess the equivalency of the pre-and post-contrast performance of 2D deep learning-based highly accelerated cardiac cine (DL cine) imaging by evaluating the image quality and the quantification of biventricular volumes and function in the clinical setting.

Material And Methods: Thirty patients (20 men, mean age 53.

Background: Initiating urate-lowering therapy can trigger gout flares. Gout flares have been associated with a temporally increased risk of cardiovascular events. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with gout initiating urate-lowering therapy with flare prophylaxis using colchicine (the drug recommended for gout flare prohphylaxis by many international societies) compared with no prophylaxis.

Rationale And Objectives: To investigate the effect of ComBat harmonization on the stability of myocardial radiomic features derived from multi-energy CT reconstructions.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 205 patients who underwent dual-energy chest CTA at a single center. The data was reconstructed into multiple spectral reconstructions (mixed energy simulating standard 120 Kv acquisition and monoenergetic images ranging from 40 to 190 keV in increments of 10).

Background: Previous studies have examined clinical predictors of incident heart failure (HF) in men and women. However, potential mechanisms through which these clinical predictors relate to the onset of HF remain to be established.

Objectives: The authors studied the association between clinical and proteomic risk profiles of new-onset HF in men and women.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a promising anti-aging molecule that plays a role in cellular energy metabolism and maintains redox homeostasis. Additionally, NAD is involved in regulating deacetylases, DNA repair enzymes, inflammation, and epigenetics, making it indispensable in maintaining the basic functions of cells. Research on NAD has become a hotspot, particularly regarding its potential in cardiovascular disease (CVD).
