All had conventional cardiovascular risk factor assessment, angiography and CT scanning for coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. There were differences in the patient characteristics between the groups, with the USA patients being younger and having more diet and lifestyle-related risk factors, although hypertension may have been better controlled than in Europe. USA patients had a two-fold increase in prevalence of significant stenosis and a three-fold increase in median CAC score. In all three groups, the log CAC score proved to be the strongest predictor of >50% stenosis followed by male gender. In the USA group, there were no additional independently predictive risk factors, although in northern Europe obesity, hypertension, smoking and hypercholesterolaemia remained predictive, with all risk factors other than hypertension proving to be predictive in the southern Europe group. Without the CAC score as a variable, male gender followed by diabetes were the most important predictors in all three regions, with hypertension also proving predictive in northern Europe.Conclusion: In symptomatic patients, the CAC score and male gender were the two most important predictors of significant stenosis in symptomatic patients in northern and southern Europe and the USA.","PeriodicalId":32119,"journal":{"name":"International Cardiovascular Forum Journal","volume":"os-9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87186907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compared the outcomes of mitral valve repair and replacement for infective endocarditis in this meta-analysis.Methods: MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane databases from 1 January 1980 to 31 December 2015 were searched for original studies. Two authors evaluated these studies for inclusion independently, then data were extracted and pooled.Results: A total of 3,976 papers was obtained from the search, 99 full-texts were reviewed, and 13 studies which included both mitral valve repair and replacement patients involving 8,130 patients were included for analyses. Pooled rates and odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for operative mortality of repair versus replacement were 3.7% vs 10.9%, 0.33 (0.26-0.41). Odds ratio for long term mortality at 1-year (n=4) was 0.31 (0.14-0.72), and at 5 years (n=8) was 0.42 (0.25-0.69). Peri-operative stroke rates and odds ratio (n=4) were 2.8% vs 3.8%, 0.75 (0.55-1.00). Five year recurrent endocarditis and redo-operations (n=6 for both) odds ratios were 0.39 (0.10-1.58) and 0.49 (0.12-2.02) respectively. Similar results were observed when one large study making up 85% of the meta-analysis cohort population was removed.Conclusion: Mitral valve repair is associated with reduction in mortality and stroke, and similar recurrent endocarditis and redo-operation rates compared to mitral valve replacement in mitral valve endocarditis. It is therefore preferred when feasible, similar to surgery for degenerative mitral valve disease.","PeriodicalId":32119,"journal":{"name":"International Cardiovascular Forum Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88362514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While nausea and vomiting are often thought to exist on a temporal continuum, this is not always the case. There are situations when severe nausea may be present without emesis and less frequently, when emesis may be present without preceding nausea. The underlying mechanisms involved in nausea are complex and encompass psychological states, the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, gastric dysrhythmias, and the endocrine system. We report a 92-year-old male patient with depression, hypothyroidism, and intermittent severe sinus dysfunction, causing nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, pre-syncope and low cerebral output. Dual chamber implantation was performed and 24 hours after the implantation of the device all the symptoms disappeared, the parameters of the pacemaker were stable, and the patient was discharged. At the 1st and the 3rd month after implantation the patient remained asymptomatic. Over-activity of autonomic outflow may be a determinant for overall nausea intensity, probably, may be a potential therapeutic target to be corrected, at least in part, by a dual chamber pacemaker implantation.","PeriodicalId":32119,"journal":{"name":"International Cardiovascular Forum Journal","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79234911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods and Results: We prospectively studied 148 consecutive MetS patients identified from the Lithuanian High Cardiovascular Risk primary prevention programme and investigated them further for unknown HFpEF through cardiopulmonary stress testing as well as assessment of BNP levels and of arterial stiffness. Subjects with a peak VO2 value lower than 90% of predicted and/or BNP≥35 ng/l were categorized as having early phase HFpEF. For comparison of this early phase HFpEF with others already clinically diagnosed with HFpEF, patients with both established HFpEF and MetS were selected retrospectively from patients attending our cardiopulmonary stress testing laboratory (n=38). Two thirds of the screening programme-derived MetS population (n=96) demonstrated a reduced exercise capacity and/or an elevated BNP, indicating signs of early HFpEF. Both the clinically diagnosed HFpEF and the screening programme detected MetS group with early HFpEF demonstrated similarly decreased exercise tolerance evaluated by peak oxygen uptake (79.8 ± 22.1% vs 82.7 ± 14.0%, p>0.05). Analysis of arterial markers in the screening programme group revealed statistically significant differences of augmentation index values between groups with and without signs of early HFpEF (p=0.016).Conclusion: A considerable proportion of patients having MetS may be diagnosed with previously undetected early stage HFpEF. The use of objective parameters of exercise capacity and neurohormonal activation might be effectively used for the early detection of HFpEF. Also early HFpEF in this setting is found to be associated with increased arterial stiffness.
