Model for Classification of Heart Failure Severity in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Using a Deep Neural Network Algorithm With a 12-Lead Electrocardiogram
Source : https://openheart.bmj.com/content/10/2/e002414.long
In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), specific ECG abnormalities are observed. Therefore, ECG is a valuable screening tool. Although several studies have reported on estimating the risk of developing fatal arrhythmias from...
Analysis using Guided Grad-CAM and Integrated Gradients showed the potential to lead to the extraction of effective ECG feature values to indicate HF severity.
Impaired Cardiopulmonary Baroreflex Function and Altered Cardiovascular Responses to Hypovolemia in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38174372/
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with autonomic imbalance which may be related to baroreflex dysfunction. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that central and peripheral hemodynamic responses...
These data provide new evidence for impairments in both cardiopulmonary and integrated baroreflex responsiveness in patients with HFpEF.
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin and Heart Failure Hospitalizations in Patients With Dysglycemia: Experiences From the Outcome Reduction With an Initial Glargine Intervention Trial
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37956942/
In patients with dysglycemia and high cardiovascular risk, increasing SHBG was associated with greater risk of HF hospitalizations independent of testosterone concentrations in men but not in women, suggesting the...
In patients with dysglycemia and high CV risk, increasing sex hormone-binding globulin was associated with greater risk of HF hospitalizations independent of testosterone concentrations in men but not in women.
Fear of Falling and Associated Factors in Older Adults With Heart Failure
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38151263/
Heart failure patients with concomitant depression, sleep disorders, and high comorbidities have greater fear of falling.
Fear of falling was associated with significantly lower LVEF (P=0.001).
Echocardiographic Manifestations in End-Stage Renal Disease
Source : https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10741-023-10376-5
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is a common but profound clinical condition, and it is associated with extremely increased morbidity and mortality. ESRD can represent four major echocardiographic findings―myocardial hypertrophy, heart...
Speckle tracking echocardiography enabling to detect subclinical disease might help prevent future advancement to HF.
