The evaluation of cardiovascular toxicity is a significant challenge in drug development. Preclinical evaluation of cardiovascular safety involves a multifaceted approach, encompassing a plethora of in vitro and in vivo endpoints. These assessments continuously evolve, aiming to mitigate the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity that may emerge during clinical trials. To shed light on the ...
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has recently been recognized as the single greatest unmet need in cardiovascular medicine, overtaking heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and becoming the most common form of heart failure, with a prevalence that is increasing by 1% annually.[1] Despite this, there remains no gold standard in diagnosing HFpEF. Diagnosing ...
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
The term sepsis describes the body's extreme response to infection. When a person suffers from sepsis, his or her immune system has been triggered in response to an infection, which causes inflammation and damages tissues in the body. Symptoms of Sepsis The symptoms of sepsis may include: Fever (102 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) Chills Rapid breathing (above 20 breaths per minute) or ...
The heart is a unique organ in many respects since its activity is mandatory to sustain life. The heart’s circulatory system and coronary flow regulation are highly adapted to the vital role of the heart in sustaining life and to everyday physiological challenges. Understanding coronary physiology is key for treating patients with ischemic heart disease in general, and ...
At the moment, there’s a wide range of rehabilitation aids available for people with impaired mobility: diverse walkers, light and robust crutches, tons of various wheelchairs. All of them have certain flaws and weaknesses. For instance, state-of-the-art wheelchairs make it possible to go in for sports, travel at a rather high speed, and are user-friendly, but all of those aspects ...
Abstract Cancer patients frequently develop tumor and treatment-related complications, leading to diminished quality of life, shortened survival, and overutilization of emergency department and hospital services. Outpatient oncology treatment has potential to leave cancer patients unmonitored for long periods while at risk of clinical deterioration which has been exaggerated during the COVID19 ...
The purposes of this research were: (1) to carry out the comparative evaluation of indices of the morphofunctional condition of the cardiovascular system (CVS) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) exposed to ionizing radiation, taking into account the occurrence of peripheral arterial atherosclerosis and the spread of traditional risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD); (2) to ...
