Patients with heart failure have a high risk of developing cardiovascular complications, and prevention thereof requires timely medical care diagnostic assessment. An expert meeting was held the participation NGO "Society Specialists in Arterial Hypertension Cardiovascular Prevention", "Evidence-Based Cardiology", "Association Endocrinologists Kazakhstan". On April 29, 2022 panel experts discus...

A 42-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to chest pain, diabetes mellitus, and sensorineural hearing loss. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed diffuse left ventricular hypokinesis. He was diagnosed with mitochondrial disease and a c.A3243G mutation was identified in his mitochondrial DNA. This case of mitochondrial cardiomyopathy demonstrated a low uptake of 123I-BMIPP, while the ...

Background: We evaluated the bio-humoral and non-invasive haemodynamic correlates of renal congestion by Doppler venous flow (RVF) across heart failure (HF) spectrum, from asymptomatic subjects with cardiovascular risk factors (Stage A) structural disease B) to patients clinically overt HF C). Methods: Ultrasound evaluation, including echocardiography, lung ultrasound RVF, along blood urine sam...

Introduction A heart tumor in children is rare and the most primary tumor of the heart is rhabdomyoma. We report a case of cardiac mass diagnosed at 32th weeks of pregnancy while the mother had gestational diabetes Mellitus. Serial echocardiography revealed regression of the tumor; then follow up of the patient confirmed tuberous sclerosis.

BACKGROUND Nitroxyl (HNO), a redox congener of nitric oxide (NO·), is a novel regulator of cardiovascular function, combining concomitant positive inotropic, lusitropic, and vasodilator properties. Moreover, HNO exhibits myocardial antihypertrophic and superoxide-suppressing actions. Despite these favorable actions, the impact of chronic HNO administration has yet to be reported in the context ...

AIMS To analyse the effect of diabetes (DM) on diastolic function in hypertensive patients. METHODS 439 hypertensive patients were selected for participation in this study. All participants had an echocardiographic evaluation of systolic and diastolic function. The overall degree of diastolic function and specific parameters (e.g. E/Ea ratio) were analysed. RESULTS We divided the cohort (63...

conclusions gated spect mpi has a good correlation with echocardiography for the measurement of left ventricular ef, edv, and esv in patients with severe heart failure. however, the absolute values of these functional parameters from echocardiography and gated spect mpi measured with different software packages should not be used interchangeably. results a good correlation was found between ech...
