Background: Arterial stiffness, measured using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-f PWV) and heart rate-corrected augmentation index (Aix75), is associated with cardiovascular disease, and in some studies incident atrial fibrillation (AF). In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate whether arterial stiffness is associated with markers of atrial myopathy, which refers to structural and electrical changes in the atria that indicate increased AF risk.
Methods: We included 1050 participants (age 57 ± 4.

Objective: To compare differences in maternal hemodynamics, measured non-invasively by impedance cardiography and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)-at rest and with high-intensity exercise-between pregnant women with corrected congenital heart disease (CHD) and low-risk (LR) pregnant controls, and to correlate these findings with umbilical artery Doppler in the third trimester, estimated fetal weight (EFW) and birth weight (BW).
Methods: Prospective longitudinal study with hemodynamic exercise studies and fetal ultrasound between 30 and 34 weeks' gestation. Approval was obtained from London South East Research Ethics Committee.

Unlabelled: Atherosclerosis is the main cause of mortality and disability in the adult population. One of the reasons for the high mortality from atherosclerosis is the lack of effective measures to prevent cardiovascular complications that ensure timely detection and correction of risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis, primarily lipid metabolism disorders with high values of proatherogenic lipids. In the restorative correction of dyslipidemia, the most promising is the use of health programs based on therapeutic physical factors, the combined use of natural (mineral waters, kumiss, climate) with physical training, training in health schools, with their implementation in sanatorium-resort conditions.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the associations between rs724030 A>G variant and prediabetes risk, along with their correlations with clinical features, including plasma glucose and serum insulin levels during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), islet function, insulin resistance, and plasma lipid levels. In particular, we investigated whether there are sex dimorphisms in the impact of this variant on islet function/insulin resistance.
Methods: We included 3415 glucose-tolerant healthy and 1744 prediabetes individuals based on OGTT.

Significant changes in pre-dialytic partial pressure of CO (pCO) during a week-long cycle of hemodialysis (HD) can be an effect of the intermittent supplementation of bicarbonate to correct chronic acidosis in patients. Mathematical modeling efforts carried out using the same parameters before each HD session might fail to produce accurate predictions of pCO and plasma bicarbonate concentration (C) because of this variability. A numerical model describing acid-base equilibrium changes during HD was applied to predict pCO, pH, and C in 24 chronic HD patients, using both fixed parameters for the whole week and estimating a new value of minute ventilation (V) and net acid generation rate (G) for each interdialytic interval.
