A combination of clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic parameters predicts pulmonary hypertension occurrence in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Front Cardiovasc Med
November 2024
Department of Urology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, China.
Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is common and serious in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), making early detection crucial but not well understood in terms of predicting factors.
- Researchers analyzed data from 349 ESRD patients to assess how clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic parameters could predict PH occurrence over a 60-month period.
- Key findings revealed that parameters like left atrial diameter, interventricular septum thickness, stroke volume, corrected QT interval, and pericardial effusion serve as independent predictors of new-onset PH, and a combined score of these factors enhances risk assessment.
Left Ventricular Geometric Pattern Impacts QT Dispersion in Males Athletes and Sedentary Men.
Echocardiography
October 2024
Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Niš, Niš, Serbia.
Aim: To (1) compare QT dispersion (QTd) and echocardiographic features between athletes with concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, athletes with eccentric LV hypertrophy, and sedentary controls with a normal LV geometric pattern and (2) quantify associations between QTd and echocardiographic features within these groups.
Methods: Male athletes competing in different sports and sedentary men were stratified into groups according to their LV geometric pattern. These groups included eccentric LV hypertrophy (LV index > 115 g/m, relative wall thickness [RWT] < 0.
The Surgical Significance of Phenotypic Variability in the Setting of Tetralogy of Fallot.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg
January 2025
Cardiothoracic Sciences Center, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- - The phenotypic feature of tetralogy of Fallot involves a specific heart structure deviation and has variations in each case, making it unique.
- - Surgical treatment outcomes for this condition have greatly improved over time, leading to a focus on reducing complications and fatalities in patients, even in developing countries.
- - A study examined the impact of morphological variations on surgical outcomes in over 1,000 patients, finding certain heart structure configurations linked to higher risks of postoperative death and rhythm issues.
Biventricular interaction and aortic function in adult patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot: a two-dimensional-three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiographic study.
Eur Heart J Imaging Methods Pract
January 2024
Department of Cardiology, Cardiac Surgery and Radiology, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy.
Aims: In patients late after correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), the combined effects of pre-operative hypertrophy and hypoxia, ventricular interdependence, acquired post-operative lesions such as pulmonary or aortic regurgitation, and congenital vasculopathy may result in impaired right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interventricular interactions in repaired TOF (rTOF) and the impact of aortic function on biventricular performance using two-dimensional (2D-STE) and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3D-STE).
Methods And Results: Twenty-five adult patients with rTOF and 25 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were studied.
Effective Treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii Ventriculitis With Interventricular Colistin: A Case Report.

Cerebrospinal fluid shunts are the primary treatment for hydrocephalus. However, prolonged external ventricular drain (EVD) use can lead to central nervous system (CNS) infections such as ventriculitis. In the ICU setting, nosocomial infections with gram-negative, multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms such as (AB) prevail, leading to poor outcomes.
