Transitioning from Preclinical to Clinical Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Mechanistic Approach.

2020

International audience; To better understand heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), we need to better characterize the transition from asymptomatic pre-HFpEF to symptomatic HFpEF. The current emphasis on left ventricular diastolic dysfunction must be redirected to microvascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction that leads to cardiomyocyte remodeling and enhanced interstitial collagen deposition. A pre-HFpEF patient lacks signs or symptoms of heart failure (HF), has preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with incipient structural changes similar to HFpEF, and possesses elevated biomarkers of cardiac dysfunction. The transition from pre-HFpEF to symptomati…

Acute Cardiovascular Responses after a Single Bout of Blood Flow Restriction Training.

2018

Different types of exercise might produce reductions in blood pressure (BP). One physiological mechanism that could explain the lowering adaptation effect on BP after an exercise program is an improved in baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity. Consequently, exploring the different methods of training and their post-exercise hypotension (PEH) becomes of interest for healthcare providers. Recently, it has been suggested that blood flow restriction training (BFR) can generate PEH. The aim of this study was to determine the acute response on cardiovascular variables after low intensity resistance training with BFR in normotensive subjects. Twenty-four male (24.38±3.88 years) p…

Glaucomatous Maculopathy: Thickness Differences on Inner and Outer Macular Layers between Ocular Hypertension and Early Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma U…

2020

The purpose of this study was to compare the thickness of all inner and outer macular layers between ocular hypertension (OHT) and early primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) 8 × 8 posterior pole algorithm (8 × 8 PPA). Fifty-seven eyes of 57 OHT individuals and fifty-seven eyes of 57 early POAG patients were included. The thickness of macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer (INL), outer plexiform and nuclear layer, photoreceptor layer (PRL) and retinal pigment epithelium were obtained in 64 cells for each macular layer and mean thickness of superior and inf…

IN-HOSPITAL COMPLICATIONS OF ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION IN HYPERTENSIVE SUBJECTS

2005

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown a worse in-hospital outcome in hypertensive than in normotensive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which has been attributed to more frequent complications. The aim of this study was to investigate clinical patterns, risk factors, and in-hospital complications in hypertensive and normotensive patients with AMI. METHODS: Of 4994 consecutive patients with AMI admitted to the intensive care unit, hypertensive patients with first infarction (n = 915; mean age 68.8 +/- 11.4 years) and 915 gender- and age-matched normotensive subjects were retrospectively studied. RESULTS: In the univariate analysis, hypertensive subjects presented more frequen…

Should inflammatory pathways be targeted for the prevention and treatment of hypertension?

2019

Hypertension is the most common modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD)1 and is a leading cause of death globally.2 Hypertension and CVD share common antecedent risk factors which include physical inactivity, obesity and excess alcohol intake.3 Though these established risk factors explain a large proportion of hypertension risk, its pathogenesis is still not fully established as it appears that other additional lifestyle and genetic factors may be involved. There is therefore a need to identify and evaluate putative risk factors that may increase our knowledge of hypertension development, may have causal or predictive relevance, and which will help develop preventive and ma…

Nelipīdu riska faktoru izvērtējums pacientiem ar ģimenes hiperholesterolēmiju

2018

Pamatojums: Ģimenes Hiperholesterinēmija (ĢH) raksturojas ar paaugstinātu zema blīvuma lipoproteīnu holesterīna (ZBL-H) koncentrāciju, kas ievērojami paaugstina agrīnu kardiovaskulāro slimību (KVS) attīstības risku. Papildus (ZBL-H) citu, ar lipīdiem nesaistītu, riska faktoru nozīmīgai ietekmei uz KVS attīstības risku, ir svarīga to identifikācija un kontrole jau dzīves laikā vai kopš bērnības. Mērķis: Raksturot un identificēt biežākos ar lipīdiem nesaistītus riska faktorus, kas var veicināt KVS attīstību pacientiem ar ĢH, kas tādējādi varētu palīdzēt akcentēt nozīmi to turpmākai kontrolei. Materiāli un metodes: Šī ir retrospektīva kohorta analīze pacientu grupai ar ticamu vai drošu ĢH diag…
