Examination in 28 pairs of twins who were studied by echocardiography just after their performance of exercise (Stage I) and at the peak of effects produced by oral anapriline (Stage II) have shown that at rest such parameters as end-systolic volume, ejection fraction, relative changes in the internal dimension of the left ventricular cavity during a cardiac cycle, show moderate-to-high genetic predisposition. At the same time, a persistent contribution of heredity to myocardial contractility is found only for end-systolic volume when the conditions of the examination were changed. The lesser extent to which contractility parameters had hereditable signs, the more intensively they varied under different conditions. It is assumed that the contraction rate of circulatory myocardial fibers is less resistant to environmental factors. A significant decrease in this parameter during anapriline administration allows one to suppose that cardiac decompensation in patients with coronary heart disease starts with damages to the very myocardial circulatory muscles.

Aims: A cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) approach to non-invasively estimate left ventricular (LV) filling pressure was recently developed and shown to correlate with invasively measured pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP). We examined the association between CMR-estimated PCWP (CMR-PCWP) and other imaging and biomarker measures of congestion, and the effect of empagliflozin on these, in the SUGAR-DM-HF trial (NCT03485092).

Methods And Results: SUGAR-DM-HF enrolled 105 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes who were randomly assigned to empagliflozin 10 mg or placebo once daily for 36 weeks.

Objective: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of adverse cardio-cerebrovascular events. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic predictors over 5 years in patients with CKD including haemodialysis.

Methods: In this multicenter, prospective cohort study performed with the Gunma-CKD SPECT Study protocol, 311 patients with CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 min/ml/1.

Background: Perioperative right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgery patients. This study aimed to demonstrate proof of concept in generating intraoperative RV pressure-volume (PV) loops and conducting an end-systolic PV relationship (ESPVR) analysis using data obtained from routinely used intraoperative monitors.

Methods: Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the placement of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) between May 2023 and March 2024 were included prospectively.

Objective: Syncope is common among pediatric patients and is rarely pathologic. The mechanisms for symptoms during exercise are less well understood than the resting mechanisms. Additionally, inert gas rebreathing analysis, a non-invasive examination of haemodynamics including cardiac output, has not previously been studied in youth with neurocardiogenic syncope.

Sex-Related Differences in Heart Failure Development in Patients After First Myocardial Infarction: The Role of Galectin-3.

November 2024

Laboratory for Radiobiology and Molecular Genetics, VINČA Institute of Nuclear Sciences-National Institute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.

Galectin-3 (gal-3) is upregulated in remodeling, and failing myocardium and gal-3 levels are increased in hypertrophy, fibrosis and inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential role of sex-related differences in the following: risk factors, left ventricular (LV) structural and functional changes, coronary angiography, expression of the gal-3 encoding gene and plasma gal-3 levels in heart failure (HF). : This prospective study included 137 men and 44 women with first MI who underwent Doppler echocardiography within 2-4 days of MI and after 6 months.
