Honeycomb-like structure (HLS) in the left anterior-descending coronary artery-recanalized thrombus demonstrated by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in a patient with polycythemia vera and thrombocythemia
Herz. 2023 Aug 11. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05193-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 71 year old male patient who experienced acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 4 years ago and had a history of polycythemia vera and thrombocythemia was admitted because acute attack of chronic heart failure. Coronary angiography revealed an unusual filling defect in the middle segment of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and IVUS showed it is a HLS which is different from dissection or woven coronary artery. We review the recent literature of HLS in this article and further investigations are warranted for the optimal managem...

Effect of different intensity exercises on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life of patients with chronic heart failure : A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: High-intensity exercise does not have a significant advantage over moderate-intensity exercise in improving cardiopulmonary function and aerobic capacity in patients with CHF. Beneficial changes in QoL from high-intensity exercise also appeared to decrease during long-term follow-up, indicating a cumulative effect of the efficacy of high-intensity exercise.PMID:37552242 | DOI:10.1007/s00059-023-05202-5 (Source: Herz)

Echocardiography with high frame rates in the clinical practice : Principles, applications and perspectives
Herz. 2023 Aug 2. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05199-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTContinuous developments in cardiovascular imaging, software and hardware have led to technological advancements that open new ways for assessing myocardial mechanics, hemodynamics, and function. Through new scan modalities, echocardiographic scanners can nowadays achieve very high frame rates up to 5000 frames s-1 which enables a wide variety of new applications, including shear wave elastography, ultrafast speckle tracking, the visualization of intracardiac blood flow and myocardial perfusion imaging. This review provides an overview of these...
