Data from the St. Jude lifetime cohort study (St. Jude LIFE) have revealed that two common biomarkers of cardiac function and damage could better predict cardiomyopathy within five years than routine clinical evaluations in high-risk, asymptomatic childhood cancer survivors. Early detection through screening using these two biomarkers may lead to earlier treatment to prevent and protect against further heart damage.

Curved multiplanar reformatted images at varying virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) levels (40-140 keV) show stenosis at each level. Percent diameter stenosis (PDS) decreased from 92.5% at 40 keV to 53.1% at 140 keV. Extent of calcium blooming artifacts decreased from 100.0% at 40 keV to 72.3% at 140 keV. milla1cf Thu, 01/11/2024 - 08:18 January 11, 2024 — According to the American Journal of Roen

Objective The primary care for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) includes the administration of nitroglycerin (GTN). This study aimed to investigate the association between the use of GTN before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ACS and clinical outcomes. Methods Nine-hundred and forty-seven patients who underwent PCI for ACS were examined and classified into two groups: those who were treated with GTN before PCI (GTN group) and those who were not (non-GTN group).

Participants who had the greatest reductions in blood lead levels saw their systolic blood pressure fall by about 7 mm Hg, an amount comparable to the effects of blood pressure-lowering medication.

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Although orthostatic hypotension (OH) has long been recognized as a manifestation of autonomic dysfunction, a growing body of literature has identified OH as a common comorbidity of hypertension. This connection is complex, related to pathophysiology in blood pressure regulation and the manner by which OH is derived as the difference between 2 blood pressure measurements.

Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation is a marker of vascular inflammation and has been associated with increased cardiac mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between NCP volume, plaque vulnerability, and PCAT attenuation.METHODS:Patients who underwent preintervention coronary comput

Objectives To develop and test an intra-cardiac catheter fitted with accelerometers to detect acute pericardial effusion prior to the onset of hemodynamic compromise. Background Early detection of an evolving pericardial effusion is critical in ensuring timely treatment. We hypothesized that the reduction in movement of the lateral heart border present in developing pericardial effusions could be quantified by positioning an accelerometer in a lateral cardiac structure.

Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES), characterized by an increased number of eosinophils in tissues and/or blood, presents with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Studies have shown that HES can affect the nervous system and may be associated with cerebral infarction. Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is the most common congenital intracardiac defect that can cause right-to-left shunting and contribute to the paradoxical embolization of venous emboli, and even lead to stroke.

Cardiac myxoma is a rare etiology of ischemic stroke, especially in young people. We report a case of multiple myxomas in left atrium and right ventricle inducing acute cerebral infarction. No significant abnormalities were detected in the patient's preoperative laboratory examination. Following emergency surgery, the patient's prognosis was satisfactory, providing valuable empirical insight for the surgical management of acute cerebral infarction in individuals diagnosed with cardiac myxoma.
