Speckle tracking echocardiography is a potential modality for evaluation of systolic and diastolic functions, myocardial mechanics and other cardiac pathophysiological processes. Objective: This study aims to assess the right ventricular (RV) function in patients with cor pulmonale using Strain Imaging and conventional echocardiography. Methods: Fifty patients with cor pulmonale compared to twenty age and sex matched controls selected for echocardiographic examination for assessment of RV indices; Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP), Tricuspid Annular systolic Excursion (TAPSE), Fractional Area Change (FAC), Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI), Strain and Strain rate of RV free wall in addition to conventional left ventricular data. Results: TAPSE (1.4±0.16 vs 2.3±0.31 cm), RV FAC (30.5±4.3% vs 47.2±4.5%), PASP (60.98±15.6 vs 18.9±5.41 mmHg) and Systolic velocity of tricuspid annulus S' (8.9±1.4 vs 13.4±1.9 cm/sec) were significantly impaired in patients vs controls respectively with p<0.001 for all. Also, The global RV free wall peak systolic longitudinal strain (e sys) for patients was 16.9±3.4% vs 25.2±2.9%, The RV free wall systolic strain rate (S-1 s) was 0.98±0.18 vs 1.7±0.18, RV free wall early diastolic strain rate (S-1 e) was 1.2±0.25 vs 1.92±0.28 and RV free wall late diastolic strain rate (S-1 a) was 1.11±0.27 vs 1.8±0.21 with (p<0.001 for all). The RV free wall systolic Longitudinal Strain (e sys) was negatively correlated with PASP (r=-0.950, p<0.001) and positively correlated with TAPSE, RV FAC and Systolic velocity of tricuspid annulus S' (r=0.635, r=0.919, r=0.890 respectively with p<0.001 for all). Conclusion: Strain and Strain Rate are reliable tools to assess systolic and diastolic functions of the RV in patients with cor pulmonale even at early disease stages and correlate well with other conventional echo parameters for RV assessment.","PeriodicalId":92185,"journal":{"name":"Cardiology research and cardiovascular medicine","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87639081","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}

Traditional mouse models involve genetically modified or surgically altered animals, whereas the TAP model is a wild mouse (C57Bl/6 strain) fed with a high fat diet and treated with an environmental chemical pollutant 3,3',4,4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB) to mimic human lifestyle. Thus, the LVEF volume of treated and untreated mice will be measured per MRI, as well as an assessment for the presence of arterial plaque. Methods and results: Ten-week-old male C57/Bl6 mice were fed with either normal or high fat diet, acclimated for 1 week and then PCB was administered by gavage. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed using a 7-Tesla Varian magnet. Briefly, the heart was aligned to the proper orientation, then an intragate scan was carried out for a CINE presentation (motion sensitive MRI in which a series of static images are obtained at various stages of the cardiac cycle and then played back as a movie). A black blood method was used that caused the blood to appear darker than the adjacent tissue and a CINE sequence to sort images, from which another program a (Medviso Segment) calculated percent ejection fraction (EF), heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR). For the aorta and carotid artery imaging, cross-sectional images of the aortic arch were obtained, which produced multiple contrast weightings. Mice fed with normal diet showed normal ejection fraction volume (75.1%). The high fat diet alone without PCB also effectively reduced EF% (67.7%), and the lowest reduction in EF were for mice fed with high fat and PCB (57.2%). In the high fat-PCB-treated group, there was a gradual reduction in % EF starting at 2 weeks with 65.2% EF and 52.5% at the 8-wk time point. MRI scan of the aortal arch showed plaques in mice fed with high fat diet and PCB treatment.

So far no quantifiable risk factor has been shown to explain such a high prevalence. Fat attenuation index (FAI) using CT coronary angiography (CTCA) has been recently used to demonstrate coronary perivascular inflammation and to confirm that atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process. Hence this study was conducted to determine FAI using CTCA in 200 adult Indians as a retrospective study to determine if it can be the answer to establish the cause for high prevalence of CAD in Indians and whether there are differences in FAI in normal adults and those with significant CAD and to determine if it could be used as imaging biomarker for diagnosis and follow up of such patients. Material and Methods: Retrospective study of 200 patients who underwent CTCA was done. Patients were divided into two groups based on no coronary disease (NOCAD) and those with significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Patient demographics were recorded for both groups. FAI estimation was done along with Plaque volume index (PVI), pericardial volume estimation and the differences between the two groups were statistically analysed. Results: Mean patient age in both groups was 52 years with male predominance (75-80%). Mean FAI,s for left anterior descending and right coronary arteries was 45.4 and -44.7 HU and of -38.0 and -39.2 HU for NOCAD and CAD groups respectively (p -38HU was 73% and 80% respectively with LR of 3.6. Conclusion: Normal adult Indians with NOCAD showed a high FAI compared to all other races which could be reason for highest prevalence of CAD amongst Indians.

He quitted antiplatelet therapy himself three years ago and consumed three energy drinks a day regularly. On admission cardiac enzymes were severely elevated ECG showed slightly elevated ST-segments and Echo demonstrated reduced function. Myocarditis was first suspected but was rejected after MRI depicted a large transmural scar. During cardiac catheterization a total occlusion of the entire right coronary artery leading to myocardial infarction was found. The patient was put on dual anticoagulation and scheduled for transplantation because of severe myocardial impairment but did not consent and ultimately died. Myocardial infarction is an extremely rare complication in the Fontan population that has to be considered and ruled out in a timely manner in patients who present with chest pain and elevated troponin T to preserve ventricular function.

The study population consisted of adults over 20 years’ old who had been living in the city of Ngaoundere for at least one year and who had consented to participate in the study. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire included socio-demographic (gender, age, occupation, education, marital status, cardiovascular risk factors, personal and family history of CVD), and physical examination. Stroke, CAD, arrhythmias and heart failure were established by a combination of self reporting and the judgment of a cardiologist coauthor according to a physical examination. In total, 948 subjects aged 20 to 89 were included in the study. Their mean age was 39.92±14.75 years. The prevalence of stroke, CAD, arrhythmias and heart failure were 0.74%, 3.06%, 3.6%, and 12.45% respectively in the study population.

This is the first case report of a patient with clavicular absence undergoing transvenous permanent pacemaker implantation. This patient has a rare condition called cleidocranial dysplasia resulting in the congenital absence of his clavicles, along with other skeletal abnormalities.

Moreover, the one-drug-one-gene paradigm particularly targeting any one of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which represent the largest protein family encoded by the human genome, has at best produced palliative treatment. Vascular diseases including CVD are caused by extraneous (xeno) factors, which are of multifactorial etiology consisting of upstream and downstream phases. The upstream phase is the physical breach of the cells protective glycocalyx (GCX) shield by chemical and biological pollutants, resulting in a sequela of cell damages (plexic) that is manifested downstream in the form of diseases, herein called xenoplexic diseases. Xenoplexic disease is an etiologic description while chronic disease is symptom-centric. This study treated a natural mouse with extraneous agents, which produced plaques and plaque reduction was the end point to evaluate the curative and/or preventive treatment effect of the 3-component compound therapy. Histopathology monitored the presence of plaque, and a 4-panel biomarker, based on GCX disruption, was subsequently developed as a surrogate to monitor plaque formation. Of the several 3-NCE combos tested 4 combos were found to be preventive and curative of plaques indicating the effectiveness of a combo platform therapy.

The prevalence and impact of sleep quality and duration on diabetes in the Cameroonian population is not well established. This study evaluates the isolated and combined contribution of two aspects of sleep (duration and quality) on glucose homeostasis in an urban and rural Cameroonian population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional prospective survey conducted among 249 rural and 250 urban community dwellers in Cameroon aged ≥18 years. Self-reported sleep duration (SD) and quality were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Poor sleep quality was considered for PSQI score>5 and short SD was considered≤ 6h. Diabetes was considered for fasting blood glucose>126mg/d Land/or use of glucose-lowering medications. Results: Mean age was 36±12 years, and men accounted for 39.1%. Frequency of poor sleep quality was 50.3% and was similar in urban and rural groups (48.2% vs 52.4% respectively, p=0.395). Short SD was present in 30.5% of subjects and was more frequent among urban dwellers (36.1% vs 24.8% in rural, p=0.006, respectively). Short SD was significantly associated with diabetes (OR 2.62, 95%CI 1.38-5.00). Although the frequency of diabetes was higher in participants with poor sleep quality compared to those with PSQI ≤5 (10% vs 6.5%, respectively), the observed difference was not significant (p>0.05). The combination of poor sleep quality and short SD was strongly associated with diabetes (OR 2.67, 95%CI 1.23-5.79). Conclusion: This survey demonstrates a significant association between short sleep duration as well as the combination of short sleep duration and poor sleep quality with type 2 diabetes prevalence.
