Heart surgery and simultaneous carotid endarterectomy - 10-years single-center experience
CONCLUSION: Within the reported patient population of coronary artery heart disease and significant internal carotid stenosis, a one-time approach with CABG or heart-valve surgery and CEA is safe and feasible as justified by clinical and neurological postoperative outcomes.PMID:35841145 | DOI:10.1177/02676591221114953

First-pass perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance parameters as surrogate markers for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction: a validation against cardiac catheterization
ConclusionsPTTc may represent a non-invasive quantitative surrogate marker for the detection and assessment of diastolic dysfunction in LHD patients.Key Points• PTTc yielded the best diagnostic accuracy for diastolic dysfunction, with an optimal cutoff of 11.9 s, and a specificity of 100%.• PTTc and PTB were found to be independent predictors of LV diastolic dysfunction across different multivariate models with high reproducibility.• PTTc is a promising non-invasive surrogate marker for the detection and assessment of diastolic dysfunction in LHD patients.

Early and long-term results of hypothermic circulatory arrest in aortic surgery: a 20-year single-centre experience
Aims The aim of this study was to document the postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA), the evolution of HCA management over time and to identify the risks factor for early mortality and postoperative stroke. Methods Four hundred and twenty-four patients who underwent aortic surgery with HCA at our institution between January 1995 and June 2016 were consecutively included. Results The main indications were degenerative aneurysm (254; 59.9%) and acute type A aortic dissection (146; 34.4%). Interventions were performed under deep (18.4 ± 0.9°C; n = 350...

Multi-compartment MRI as a promising tool for measurement of placental perfusion and oxygenation in early onset Fetal Growth Restriction.
Abstract Placental insufficiency, the main cause of Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR), is associated with adverse outcomes for both the mother and infant in the short term, but also with negative longer-term effects (such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke). Doppler Ultrasound is the main means of assessing placental function in clinical practice, but does not necessarily allow a precise distinction between placental insufficiency with secondary FGR, and normal placental function with a constitutionally small fetus.

Cuba's Role in International Atomic Energy Agency Regional Cooperation in Cardiology.
Authors: Peix A, García B Abstract Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, and a health problem in low- and middle-income as well as high-income countries. They also constitute the main cause of death in Latin America, with ischemic heart disease as the principal cause in most countries of the region. In Cuba, heart disease is the first cause of death, followed by cancer and stroke. In its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the UN recognizes the importance of chronic non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Cuba has participated actively as lead partner in desig...

Perturbations in myocardial perfusion and oxygen balance in swine with multiple risk factors: a novel model of ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease
In conclusion, common comorbidities in swine result in CMD, in the absence of appreciable atherosclerosis, which is severe en ough to produce perturbations in myocardial oxygen balance, particularly during exercise, resembling key features of INOCA.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging used for Evaluation of Adipose-Derived Stromal Cell Therapy in Patients with Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease.
Abstract Adipose-derived stromal cell (ASC) therapy is currently investigated as a new treatment option for patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ASC therapy in patients with chronic IHD measuring myocardial perfusion and cardiac function using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). Patients were included in MyStromalCell trial, a phase II, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study investigated the effect of ASCs in patients with chronic IHD with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In total, 41 of 60 patients underwent cine, ...

127 Modifiable Cardiovascular Risk Profile in People with Mild Cognitive Symptoms Attending a Memory Service - an Opportunity to Promote Brain Health
ConclusionThis study highlights the high prevalence of unidentified or poorly controlled VRF in people with mild cognitive symptoms attending a memory service. Given its importance to brain health and mitigation of future cognitive decline, a structured focus on identifying and managing these VRF in this setting is necessary. Exercise-based lifestyle programs should be embedded in post-diagnostic services for this population.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Diagnosing Stable Ischemic Heart Disease.
Conclusion: Coronary Angiography remains the near gold standard in diagnosing ischemic heart disease but is associated with serious complications like stroke, arrhythmias, acute renal failure, infection, etc. Though Myocardial perfusion imaging cannot replace coronary angiogram, it can be used as a reliable and sensitive non-invasive alternate investigation to diagnose stable ischemic heart disease in high risk individuals who are unwilling for angiogram.

Is Aberrant Reno-Renal Reflex Control of Blood Pressure a Contributor to Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia-Induced Hypertension?
This study demonstrated unaltered vascular conductance in response to lumbar sympathetic stimulation in CIH-exposed rats. Aortic compliance was increased and estimated blood volume was unchanged in CIH-exposed rats. Increased blood pressure was related to an increase in cardiac output, which was confirmed by echocardiography (Lucking et al., 2014). It is suggested therefore that hypertension in the CIH model can be evoked by over-excitation of the cardiac arm of sympathetic nervous system (SNS), even before mechanisms of enhanced peripheral vasoconstriction and endothelial dysfunction are initiated (Naghshin et al., 2009)....

Influence of Sex on Stroke Prognosis: A Demographic, Clinical, and Molecular Analysis
Conclusion Our data suggest that women who suffer from IS present with a poorer functional outcome than men at 3-months, regardless of other preclinical and clinical factors during the acute phase. These relationships seem to be mediated by atrial dysfunction and inflammation. The inflammatory response is slightly higher in women; however, there are no sex differences in their functional behavior. There is a probable relationship between the molecular marker of atrial dysfunction NT-proBNP and worse functional outcome in women, and the connection seems to be more important in cardioembolic stroke patients. In patients wi...

Cardiovascular Programming During and After Diabetic Pregnancy: Role of Placental Dysfunction and IUGR
This study demonstrated that the incidence of ischemic heart disease and death were three times higher among men with low birth weight compared to men with high birth weight (5). Epidemiological investigations of adults born at the time of the Dutch famine between 1944 and 1945 revealed an association between maternal starvation and a low infant birth weight with a high incidence of hypertension and coronary heart disease in these adults (23). Furthermore, Painter et al. reported the incidence of early onset coronary heart disease among persons conceived during the Dutch famine (24). In that regard, Barker's findin...

Current Perspectives in Facilitated Angioplasty
Conclusions: With the current increased burden of acute coronary syndromes and the lack of immediate primary PCI facilities for all patients with STEMI, facilitated angioplasty seems a feasible therapeutic option. Another benefit of facilitated angioplasty may be represented by a major contribution of thrombolytic therapy in re-establishing microvascular myocardial blood flow.
