The present study aimed to determine the effect of exercise training on plasma tissue kallikrein (TK) and bradykinin (BK) and their association with cardiac hypertrophy. Methods: 22 non-athlete and 22 athlete women were exposed to acute (Bruce test) and chronic (12-week swimming training) exercises. 2D echocardiography was used to evaluate morphological and functional features of the heart. Plasma concentrations of TK and BK were quantified by ELISA. Results: Athletes had significantly higher values of left ventricle end-diastolic diameter index (LVEDDI) and left ventricle mass index (LVMI) than non-athletes. Exercise intervention affected echocardiographic features in neither of the study groups. Chronic exercise training notably increased plasma levels of TK and BK, which increase was more pronounced in the athletes. Plasma TK negatively correlated with LVEDDI (r=-0.64, P=0.036 and r=-0.58, P=0.027) and LVMI (r=-0.51, P=0.032 and r=-0.63, P=0.028) in the non-athlete and athlete groups. In opposition, there was a positive correlation between plasma TK and left ventricle ejection fraction in non-athletes (r=0.39, P=0.049) and athletes (r=0.53, P=0.019). Conclusion: The upregulation of the tissue kallikrein-kinin system may be a protective mechanism against excessive cardiac hypertrophy induced by chronic exercise training.","PeriodicalId":15207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9617055/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40483854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strategies have been identified to increase its use, but there is paucity of data testing them in low-resource settings. We sought to determine the effect of automatic referral post-coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery on CR enrollment. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study assessing cardiac patients referred to CR at a tertiary center in Southeast Asia from 2013 to 2019. The paper-based pathway was introduced at the end of 2012. The checklist with automatic CR referral on the third day post-operation prompted a nurse to educate the patient about CR, initiate phase 1 and encourage enrollment in phase 2. Patients who were not eligible for the pathway for administrative or clinical reasons were referred at the discretion of the attending physician (i.e., usual care). Enrollment was defined as attendance at≥1 CR visit. Results: Of 4792 patients referred during the study period, 394 enrolled in CR. Significantly more patients referred automatically enrolled compared to usual care (225 [11.8%] vs. 169 [5.8%]; OR=2.2, 95% CI=1.8-2.7), with increases up to 23.4% enrollment in 2014 (vs. average enrollment rate of 5.9% under usual referral). Patients who enrolled following automatic referral were significantly younger and more often employed (both P<0.001); no other differences were observed. Conclusion: In a lower-resource, Southeast Asian setting, automatic CR referral is associated with over two times greater enrollment in phase 2 CR, although efforts to maintain this effect are required.","PeriodicalId":15207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9339729/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40675656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We agree in dividing pneumomediastinum into primary and secondary, but we consider that the primary is the truly spontaneous or idiopathic, terms that should be omitted and called primary. This pneumomediastinum cannot have any predisposing or precipitating factor. The secondary, can in turn be traumatic and non-traumatic, and the latter is where the predisposing and precipitating factors influence (Figure 1). According to current literature, any pneumomediastinum that is not traumatic is “spontaneous”, but it happens that the group called spontaneous is the one with the greatest triggering cause. This creates confusion and causes conceptual difficulty. We believe that the classification should evolve towards greater accuracy. For us, if a PM has a predisposing factor that compromises the pulmonary structure whether congenital, hereditary, or genetic (bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, surfactant alterations, etc.) or acquired (asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, COVID-19, etc.), it cannot be spontaneous because there is an underlying predisposing disease. Similarly, the pneumomediastinum that occurs due to a precipitating factor (coughing, labor, intense exercise, use of inhaled drugs, mechanical ventilation, etc.) in a healthy subject or with an underlying lung disease cannot be","PeriodicalId":15207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9617058/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40712302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The current study recruited 209 non-STEMI participants who underwent PCI. The patients were divided into two groups based on their post-intervention Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade; those with and without NR. Results: In all, 30 non-STEMI patients (6.9%) had NR after PCI. CAR values were substantially greater in the NR group. The CAR was identified to be a determinant of the NR (OR: 1.250, 95% CI: 1.033-1.513, P=0.02), although CRP and albumin were not independently related with NR in the multivariate analysis. In our investigation, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels and high thrombus burden were also predictors of the occurrence of NR. According to receiver operating characteristic curve evaluation, the optimal value of CAR was>1.4 with 60% sensitivity and 47% specificity in detecting NR in non-STEMI patients following PCI.

The aim of this study was to compare the changes of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) by measuring spectral indices of beat-to-beat systolic blood pressure and heart rate variability (SBPV and HRV) in ranges of low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and the LF/HF ratio during head-up tilt test (HUTT) in patients with and without a syncope response. Methods: In this case-control study of 46 patients with a suspected history of unexplained syncope, data were recorded separately during the typical three phases of HUTT. Patients who developed syncope were designated as the case group and the rest as the control group. Results: Thirty one patients experienced syncope during HUTT. Resting HRV and SBPV indices were significantly lower in cases than controls. After tilting in the syncope group, both HF and LF powers of SBPV showed a significant and gradual decrease. LF/HF in HRV increased in both groups similarly during the test but in SBPV, mainly driven by oscilations in its LF power, it increased significantly more during the first two phases of the test in syncope patients only to paradoxically decrease during active tilt (P< 0.001). Conclusion: Our findings show an abnormal autonomic function in patients with syncope, both at rest and tilting. Fluctuations of spectral indices of beat-to-beat SBPV, a potential noval index of pure sympathetic activity, show an exaggerated response during tilt and its withdrawal before syncope.","PeriodicalId":15207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9339730/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40676128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: In this retrospective study, 216 consecutive newly diagnosed hypertensive patients who had undergone 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) monitoring and had not received anti-hypertensive drugs were included. Non-dipping status was evaluated by a 24-h ABPM monitoring in all patients. We categorized the patients into two groups as; dippers (n=104 cases) and non-dippers (n=112 cases). The TyG index was derived from the fasting triglyceride and fasting glucose levels using the formula; ln[fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Results: Non-dipper group had a higher TyG index than the dipper group. The TyG was an independent predictor of non-dipping BP in hypertensive individuals, according to multivariable analysis. The TyG index was negatively associated with a decrease in both systolic and diastolic BP during the nighttime. The ideal cutoff value of the TyG index in detecting non-dipping status was≥9.01 with 74.1% sensitivity and 71.2% specificity. A ROC comparison indicated that the area under the curve value of TyG index was superior to fasting triglyceride, fasting glucose, and homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) in detecting non-dipping BP. Conclusion: The TyG index was an independent predictor of non-dipping status in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients who had undergone 24-hour ABPM monitoring and had not received anti-hypertensive drugs. As a simple and easily obtained parameter, the TyG index can be used to detect such pattern among these patients.","PeriodicalId":15207,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9617059/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40483852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
