Non-invasive pressure-volume loop analysis in left ventricular load manipulation.

BACKGROUND: Clinical monitoring of patients with heart failure or cardiomyopathy is facilitated by detailed assessment of cardiac loading conditions. Specifically, alterations in preload and afterload...

Velocimetry based on multiphase CCTA images for reliable coronary flow velocity quantification across stenosis severities and ischemia detection.

BACKGROUND: Coronary flow velocity (CFV) serves as a critical functional feature for evaluating coronary stenosis severity (CSS) and detecting ischemia. With its noninvasive nature and rapid imaging, ...

The Forgotten Fetal Channel: Guidewire Entry Into Umbilical Vein During Central Line Placement in a Neonate.

Central venous catheterization in neonates presents unique challenges due to transitional circulatory physiology and potential persistence of fetal vascular structures. We describe a rare intraoperati...

Impact of Swept-Source OCT Angiographic Scanning Speeds on the Detection of Choriocapillaris Flow Deficits in Eyes With AMD.

PURPOSE: The impact of swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) scanning speeds (interscan times) on the quantification of choriocapillaris flow deficit percentages (CCFD%) was ...

Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and cancer are increasingly recognized as interconnected diseases linked by shared immune mechanisms rather than merely overlapping risk factors. Common ...

Effects of magnesium taurate-potassium citrate on blood pressure and vascular stiffness in low-risk adults with elevated blood pressure.

Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a key modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. In low-risk individuals, guidelines recommend lifestyle interventions before pharmacotherapy. Evidence for magnesium taurat...

Integrating Chair Yoga and Manual Therapy Into Hypertension Management: Effects on Autonomic Regulation, Muscle Viscoelasticity, and Mental Well-Being.

Hypertension (HT) is a common chronic condition linked to increased cardiovascular risk, reduced functional capacity, altered muscle properties, and impaired psychosocial well-being. Therefore, this s...

Machine-Reported Electrocardiographic Right Axis Deviation or Right Ventricular Hypertrophy and Echocardiographic Pulmonary Hypertension Phenotypes and Right-Heart Abnormalities.

PURPOSE: Machine-reported electrocardiographic findings suggesting right-heart strain are routinely generated during electrocardiogram (ECG) acquisition, but their relationship to echocardiographic pu...

Distal radial access in acute coronary syndrome patients with good arterial pulsation: a subgroup analysis from the KODRA registry.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Distal radial access (DRA) has been associated with fewer access-site complications, but evidence in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains limited. This study evaluated the feasibilit...

Correlation of Transcutaneous pCO(2) and Capillary pCO(2) in Newborn Patients Depending on Gestational Age: A Secondary Data Analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Transcutaneous monitoring of CO2 partial pressure (tcpCO2) provides continuous information about the CO2 partial pressure in the blood (pCO2). However, the deviation of tcpCO2 from pCO2 ...
