It is well known that ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a leading cause of death, claims 8.9 million people worldwide a year. Stroke is also a leading cause of death, claiming at 6.1 million. The two conditions often coexist and are associated with a high mortality. Importantly, cardiac disease can lead to stroke. This special issue includes excellent articles discussing the connection of the heart and brain, in less commonly considered but still critically important areas such as stroke in noncompaction cardiomyopathy and after the cardiac procedure of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Two key issues that impact on the development of the heart–stroke interaction are discussed, specifically the impact of mental stress and disparities in health-related quality of life among adults with IHD, stroke, and both conditions. Physical exercise as a preventive strategy is touched upon, as well in this issue. HeartandMind is fortunate to have Barry A. Franklin as the spotlight guest. During the interview, Prof. Franklin shared his perspectives on physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiovascular health. He discussed that exercise benefits cardiac patients, yet too much exercise might be risky. He highlights the importance of patients’ motivation in cardiac rehabitation programs, provided novel viewpoints on psychosocial stressors, etc. In addition, he revealed the potential power of soft skills for being superachievers. The spotlight article is entitled “Perspectives of Barry A. Franklin, PhD: A World-Renowned Professor, Author, and Speaker.” In the article entitled “Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy and Embolic Events: A Mini-Review,” George Bazoukis et al. discussed that patients with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) have an increased risk of embolic events. They conclude that LVNC patients with prior embolic events, atrial fibrillation, left ventricular (LV) thrombus, and LV dysfunction should have anticoagulation. For individuals without a clear indication according to the current guidelines, anticoagulation could be considered when their CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus and stroke or transient ischemic attack) score is 2 or greater. Amit Hooda et al. provided a “A Narrative Review on Perprocedural Stroke and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Achilles’ Heel,” summarizing the currently available strategies for mitigating periprocedural stroke post transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and providing insights into future directions. The authors advocate for large, prospective, randomized controlled trials that are required to predict the patient profile where cerebral embolic protection devices would be useful. Furthermore, additional strategies with newer valve technologies are recommen","PeriodicalId":34653,"journal":{"name":"Heart and Mind","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135838820","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}

Lewis","doi":"10.4103/hm.hm_42_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/hm.hm_42_22","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Peak oxygen uptake (VO2) is often the focal point of cardiopulmonary exercise testing among patients with heart failure (HF). Breath-by-breath VO2 kinetic patterns at exercise onset, during low-level and submaximal exercise, and during recovery may provide incremental insight into HF severity and etiologies of exercise limitation. Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to explore VO2 recovery delay (VO2RD) across the spectrum of left ventricular function. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using several online databases (EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed and Web of Science). Steps outlined by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses were followed. Search terms included VO2RD OR VO2 off kinetics AND HF, peak VO2 AND recovery. All articles were uploaded to Covidence. Results: Four studies met the inclusion criteria. The definition of VO2RD varied across studies. Recovery delay was consistently observed in HF patients compared to controls indicating VO2RD discriminates between those with and without HF. Control groups showed VO2 decline almost immediately after exercise. VO2RD had a significant positive linear relationship to N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic and Doppler echo E/e' while demonstrating an inverse relationship with peak cardiac output and survival duration. Conclusions: VO2RD, unlike peak VO2, is relatively cardiospecific. Oxygen recovery kinetics offer insight into disease severity and discrimination of healthy participants from those with HF.","PeriodicalId":34653,"journal":{"name":"Heart and Mind","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44157488","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}

To optimize patient outcomes, various strategies have been developed to minimize the risk of stroke, encompassing comprehensive preprocedural planning, effective management of comorbidities, utilization of cerebral embolic protection devices, and tailored medical therapy.

Lavie","doi":"10.4103/hm.hm_33_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/hm.hm_33_22","url":null,"abstract":"The assuredness that adverse life stressors can lead to major negative impacts on an individual's health has been held since antiquity. Stress is considered a state of homeostasis being challenged, with biological consequences that can cause cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Stressors may be diverse and include a variety of psychological stressors, such as family stress, job strain, effort-award imbalance, long working hours, insecurity, social isolation, and lack of purpose in life. However, stressors may also be physical, immunological, metabolic, or environmental. Type of personality, anxiety, depression, pessimism or hostility, previous experience, genomics, body composition, nutritive and training status modulate stress responses and are important co-stressors. Chronic stress is linked with altered neurohormonal activity, which increases apoptotic pathways in cardiomyocytes. These pathways contribute to impaired myocardial contractility, increased risk of myocardial ischemia, infarction, heart failure, and arrhythmias. While stress is a vital risk factor for CVD, it has not been a major focus of preventive strategies. The purpose of this article is to review the impact of stress on CVD risk with an emphasis on approaches for stress reduction. Strength and endurance exercise, although being stress itself, leads to better adaptiveness to other types of stress, and by far has played an inevitable role in CVD risk reduction. Innovative strategies to combat CVD are strongly needed and exercise may be the best population-level cost-effective approach.","PeriodicalId":34653,"journal":{"name":"Heart and Mind","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46839781","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}
