On this visit, he expressed worsening exercise tolerance, new orthopnea, and he told his provider that the omeprazole did not relieve any symptoms. He re-presented to the family clinic for a follow-up visit a month after his original appointment. His BP was now 82/68, and his HR was 112. I overread all ECGs for our 35 providers.

Additionally, it offers clinicians the flexibility to perform exercise stress testingsomething not feasible with any previously available cardiac PET tracer. The longer half-life eliminates the need for onsite tracer manufacturing so it can be ordered as a ready-to-use unit dose. National Center for Health Statistics. Accessed May 3, 2024.

He visited an outpatient clinic for it and an echocardiogram and exercise stress test was normal. His medical history is unremarkable except a similar pain occurred 4-5 times in the previous 3 months with less intensity, short duration, unrelated to exertion. He has 40 packs-year of smoking history. He denies taking any medication.

We assessed the relationship of different ID definitions with cardiac structure and function, congestion, exercise capacity, and prognosis in HF outpatients. TSAT <20% and iron 13 mol/L, but not G-ID or ferritin-based ID, predict a worse prognosis in HF outpatients with preserved and reduced LVEF.

Background Participation in regular exercise activities is recommended for patients with chronic heart failure. However, less is known about the effect of exercise in patients with genetic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

This study aimed to explore the association between indexed left ventricular end-diastolic volume (iLVEDV) and maximal functional capacity, assessed by peak oxygen consumption (peakVO 2 ), in stable outpatients with HFpEF. Conclusions In stable outpatients with HFpEF, a smaller iLVEDV was associated with a lower maximal functional capacity.
