Causes of ischemic stroke in young adults versus non-young adults: A multicenter hospital-based observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Certain embolic sources and uncommon causes may be etiologically important causes of ischemic stroke in young adults. However, the contribution of conventional vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors is not negligible with advancing age, even in young adults.PMID:35830430 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0268481

The contribution of systematic implementation of cardiovascular explorations for the detection of cardiac sources of embolism in patients with stroke: About 230  patients.
CONCLUSION: Cardiovascular explorations remain indispensable in the workup of all ischemic strokes even if their therapeutic effect is modest. The lacunar infarct out first at 34% followed by 32% of cardio embolic causes and atheroma of the neck vessels in approximately 16%. PMID: 29753425 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke in Chagas disease: from pathophysiology to clinical practice
Rev Soc Bras Med Trop. 2022 Jun 6;55:e0575. doi: 10.1590/0037-8682-0575-2021. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTDespite substantial progress toward its control, Chagas disease continues to be a major public health problem in Latin America and has become a global health concern. The disease affects approximately 6 million people, of whom 20-40% will develop cardiomyopathy over the years after the initial Trypanosoma cruzi infection. Chagas cardiomyopathy is the most serious and frequent manifestation of Chagas disease. Clinical manifestations vary widely according to the severity of myocardial dysfunction, ranging from asymptomatic ...

Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Multiple Left Ventricular Thrombi and Embolic Stroke After Mild COVID-19
We report a case of a 37-year-old man who recovered from mild COVID-19 only to present a few weeks later with devastating cardiovascular involvement that included severe left ventricular impairment resulting from nonischemic cardiomyopathy, multiple left ventricular thrombi, and embolic stroke.PMID:36450145 | DOI:10.14503/THIJ-20-7488

A review of the epidemiology of atrial fibrillation in Sub ‐Saharan Africa
In conclusion, AF seems to have a higher prevalence in the general population than previously thought, and is mostly associa ted with hypertension, cardiomyopathy and rheumatic heart disease in SSA. It is associated with a high incidence of heart failure and stroke. The management of AF is suboptimal in SSA, especially with a low uptake of oral anticoagulation.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Low-dose dobutamine induces left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and a narrow QRS: a study using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.
CONCLUSIONS: Dobutamine may induce LV mechanical dyssynchrony in a substantial proportion of patients with DCM and a narrow QRS. In such cases, regional LV contractile reserve does not fully contribute to an increase in global LVSV. PMID: 23473770 [PubMed - in process]

Cardiomyopathy in neurological disorders
Abstract: According to the American Heart Association, cardiomyopathies are classified as primary (solely or predominantly confined to heart muscle), secondary (those showing pathological myocardial involvement as part of a neuromuscular disorder) and those in which cardiomyopathy is the first/predominant manifestation of a neuromuscular disorder. Cardiomyopathies may be further classified as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, or unclassified cardiomyopathy (noncompaction, Takotsubo-cardiomyopathy). This review focuses on seconda...

Patients Selection for Left Ventriculoplasty and Mitral Valve Surgery in Non-Ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
The operative indication for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is controversial. Subjects were 20 non-ischemic DCM patients. Left ventriculoplasty and mitral valve repair were conducted. Cardiac index derived from forward stroke volume significantly increased after surgery (from 1.8  ± 0.6 to 2.4 ± 0.6, P = .001). One-year survival rate was 58%. Slope in preload recruitable stroke work relationship (Mw) was an independent predictor for survival after surgery (HR, 0.936; 95%CI, 0.894–0.980; P = .005). Cut-off value of Mw for one-year survival was 42.

The Effects of Levosimendan and Sodium Nitroprusside Combination on Left Ventricular Functions After Surgical Ventricular Reconstruction in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Patients.
CONCLUSION: This study showed that LS and SNP combination impressive increase in left ventricular systolic and diastolic functions including LVEF. The use of this combination achieved more less inotrophics and IABP requirement. We therefore suggest preoperative and peroperative levosimendan and SNP combination. PMID: 27583039 [PubMed]

Management of patients with newly-diagnosed atrial fibrillation: Insights from the BALKAN-AF survey
ConclusionsIn BALKAN-AF survey, patients with newly-diagnosed AF were more often hospitalized, less often received OAC and were more likely to receive SAPT alone. The use of OAC for stroke prevention has not been driven by the individual patient stroke risk.

Four-dimensional blood flow-specific markers of LV dysfunction in dilated cardiomyopathy
Conclusion Despite equivalent LVSVs, HF patients with mild LV remodelling demonstrate altered diastolic flow routes through the LV and impaired preservation of inflow KE at pre-systole compared with healthy subjects. These unique flow-specific changes in the flow route and energetics are detectable despite clinical compensation, and may prove useful as subclinical markers of LV dysfunction.

Evaluation of epicardial and intra-myocardial fat in a patient with mitochondrial cardiomyopathy
Mitochondrial cardiomyopathy is one of the main manifestations in patients with primary mitochondrial respiratory chain disease characterized by mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) and carries a similar prognosis. The phenotype frequently includes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular (LV) non-compaction are rarely present . Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium-based contrast agents has been widely used for evaluating the morphology and function of the left ventricle and injured myocardial tissue . Cine imaging with a stan...
