Exercise heart rates in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
(Elsevier, 2015)
The exercise heart rate (HR) profile and its relation to cardiac function and arrhythmias were investigated in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC). Chronotropic response (CR) and heart rate recovery (HRR) were ...
Left ventricular adaptation to high altitude: speckle tracking echocardiography in lowlanders, healthy highlanders and highlanders with chronic mountain sickness
(Springer, 2015)
Hypoxic exposure depresses myocardial contractility in vitro, but has been associated with indices of increased cardiac performance in intact animals and in humans, possibly related to sympathetic nervous system activation. ...
A cross-sectional study of differences in 6-min walk distance in healthy adults residing at high altitude versus sea level
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: We sought to determine if adult residents living at high altitude have developed sufficient adaptation to a hypoxic environment to match the functional capacity of a similar population at sea level. To test ...
Insulin resistance and carotid intima-media thickness mediate the association between resting-state heart rate variability and executive function: A path modelling study
(Elsevier Science, 2016-05)
Background: Research has linked high-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV) to cognitive function. The present study adopts a modern path modelling approach to understand potential causal pathways that may underpin this ...
The role of B-type natriuretic peptide in diagnosing acute decompensated heart failure in chronic kidney disease patients
(Termedia Publishing House Ltd., 2018)
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and congestive heart failure (CHF) patients have higher serum B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), which alters the test interpretation. We aim to define BNP cutoff levels to diagnose ...
Heart failure non-invasive home telemonitoring systems: A systematic review
(Elsevier Ireland, 2021-04)
Background and Objective: Heart Failure (HF) is mostly a lifestyle-related disease that is suited to telemonitoring since patients’ signs and symptoms can be assessed remotely by healthcare providers. Today, non-invasive ...
Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Structure and Function in healthy non-sedated Southern Sea Lions (Otaria flavecens)
(MinuteMan Press, 2018-07-08)
The goal of this study was to test transthoracic echocardiography as method to characterize heart morphology and function in the Southern Sea lion (SSL) for health evaluation. Four clinically healthy captive SSLs (mean ...
Brain–heart interactions reveal consciousness in noncommunicating patients
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-10)
Objective: We here aimed at characterizing heart–brain interactions in patients with disorders of consciousness. We tested how this information impacts data-driven classification between unresponsive and minimally conscious ...
Care bundle to reduce readmission in patients with heart failure: a modified Delphi consensus panel in Argentina
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2020-12)
Objectives The aim of this study was to develop consensus among Argentine cardiologists on a care bundle to reduce readmissions of patients with heart failure (HF). Setting Hospitals and cardiology clinics in Argentina ...
Clinical, radiological and functional characteristics of pulmonary diseases among htlv-1 infected patients without prior active tuberculosis infection
(MDPI, 2021)
The lifelong infection with the human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) has been associated with a variety of clinical manifestations; one of the less-explored is HTLV-1-associated pulmonary disease. Imaging of lung ...
