Abstract

Purpose: Although delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DEMRI) is essential for diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), the test was not available when pacemaker was implamted. Recently, MR-conditional pacemaker has become avilable and we hypothesized that this device would be useful for diagnosis and management of CS. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic ability of MR-conditional pacemaker about CS in patients with advanced A-V nodal block (AAVB). Methods: Twenty-seven AAVB patients (14 men, 13 women; mean age, 69 ± 11 years) who were implanted MR-conditional pacemaker were studied. DEMRI was performed 6 weeks after implantation of permanent pacemaker. In patients with positive for DE, additional examinations like echocardiography, radioisotope imaging, biopsy, and coronary computed-tomography were performed due to confirm the diagnosis of CS and exclude coronary artery disease. Results: DE was observed in 12 patients (44 %). Out of 12 patients, 2 patients were excluded for having prior myocardial infarction. Seven of 10 (70 %) patients were diagnosed of CS by the consensus criteria. Compared with non-CS group, CS group had significantly lower age (61 ± 12 years vs. 72 ± 9 years p = 0.017). There was no significant difference about sex, angiotensin-converting enzyme, brain natriuretic peptide, and left ventricular ejection fraction between 2 groups. Six patients had started corticosteroid therapy and 5 patients (83%) recovered A-V nodal conduction. Conclusion: MR-conditional pacemaker was useful for diagnosis and management of patients with AAVB caused by CS. Figure Cardiac MRI in patient with AV block

Abstract

Purpose: It is known the higher prevalence of structural heart disease in HIV patients, mostly diastolic dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. In spite of that, there are few data about predisposing factors. Our objective was to evaluate whether HIV stage or detectable blood viral load correlate with the degree of heart disease. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study with HIV patients monitored by the internal medicine unit of our institution. We selected symptomatic patients with functional class ≥ II of NYHA scale. Viral blood load and CD4 count were systematically determined in order to obtain the HIV stage. Patients underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram to assess ventricular hypertrophy, systolic and diastolic dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension, according to the limits set by ESC guidelines. Results: Data were obtained from 65 HIV patients with dyspnea (63% male) with a mean age of 48 years. 50% were in NYHA grade II, 32.3% III and 17.7% IV. 46.7% of patients had some data of structural heart disease (figure). Belong to AIDS group (65.3%) did not correlate with the degree of heart disease. However, patients with positive blood viral load had a significantly higher incidence of structural heart disease than those with undetectable load (75% vs. 43% p <0.04), independent of their cardiovascular risk profile or type of antiretroviral therapy (Table). Conclusion: In our experience, half of HIV patients with dyspnea show echocardiographic data of structural heart disease. Detectable viral load in blood doubles the prevalence of heart disease, so that HIV itself may be an independent causal agent. These data should be taken into account in the screening of structural heart disease in these patients. Figure Prevalence of structural heart disease

Abstract

Background: The foundation of the global healthcare system is nurses, and professionalism in nursing is a basic idea that helps patients, organizations, and people. Studies that have been published in Ethiopia, though, are limited, out-of-date, and poorly documented, especially when it comes to the study setting. Because of this, this study aimed to close a knowledge gap on the level of professionalism in public hospitals in Sidama, Ethiopia., Objective: This study aimed to assess professionalism and associated factors among nurses working in Hawassa city public hospitals, Hawassa, Ethiopia., Methods: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among nurses working in Hawassa city public hospital from June to July 2022. A computer-generated simple random sampling technique was used to select 413 study participants. The level of professionalism was assessed through a self-administered questionnaire, using the guidelines of the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario. All the loaded data using Epi-data version 4.6 were exported to a statistical package for social science. An ordinal logistic regression analysis was used to identify the associations between the outcome and predictor variables. The statistical significance of the factors influencing the outcome variable was declared in multivariate logistic regression analysis using an adjusted odds ratio at a 95% confidence interval with a p -value <0.05., Results: A total of 405 nurses participated in the study, with a response rate of 98%. Of the total participants, more than half were females (55.3%). The level of professionalism was found to a moderate level. There was a strong link between completing their degree in a governmental institution, being part of a professional organization, serving for several years, and having a BSc or above qualification with a moderate level of professionalism., Conclusion: We found a moderate level of professionalism among nurses working in the study setting. This suggests that the Regional Health Bureau should collaborate with other responsible bodies to develop various opportunities for nursing staff to increase their professionalism. The minister of health should be focused on private college nurses, nurses lacking the association, and the qualification of the profession., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Abebe Boe, Mekonnen, Fako, Aschale Wale, Tade and Tsega Chekol.)

Abstract

Objective: To assess the equatorial talar line (ETL) as a sensitive radiographic parameter to predict Sanders type III and IV fractures and the presence of lateral wall blowout., Methods: Reliability of the ETL was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and receiver operating curve (ROC) to predict sensitivity. Using lateral ankle radiographs, raters determined whether the calcaneal tuberosity was "above" (predicting Sanders type I or II) or "below" (predicting Sanders type III or IV and lateral wall blowout)., Results: In determining the "above" or "below" location of the ETL, the calculated ICC was 1.0 for each session. As a predictor of Sanders fracture classification type, the calculated ICC was 0.93 for the first session and 0.89 for the second session for an overall ICC of 0.91. As a predictor of Sanders fracture type, ROC analysis yielded an overall sensitivity of 0.82. As a predictor of lateral wall blowout, ROC analysis yielded an overall sensitivity of 0.81., Conclusion: The ETL is a reproducible radiographic parameter that can be reliably used to crudely predict between Sanders type I or II (ETL is "above") and Sanders type III or IV (ETL is "below") calcaneus fractures as well as the presence of lateral wall blowout., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

Abstract

Traditionally, congestive heart failure (HF) was phenotyped by echocardiography or other imaging techniques according to left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF). The more recent echocardiographic modality speckle tracking strain is complementary to LVEF, as it is more sensitive to diagnose mild systolic dysfunction. Furthermore, when LV systolic dysfunction is associated with a small, hypertrophic ventricle, EF is often normal or supernormal, whereas LV global longitudinal strain can reveal reduced contractility. In addition, segmental strain patterns may be used to identify specific cardiomyopathies, which in some cases can be treated with patient-specific medicine. In HF with preserved EF (HFpEF), a diagnostic hallmark is elevated LV filling pressure, which can be diagnosed with good accuracy by applying a set of echocardiographic parameters. Patients with HFpEF often have normal filling pressure at rest, and a non-invasive or invasive diastolic stress test may be used to identify abnormal elevation of filling pressure during exercise. The novel parameter LV work index, which incorporates afterload, is a promising tool for quantification of LV contractile function and efficiency. Another novel modality is shear wave imaging for diagnosing stiff ventricles, but clinical utility remains to be determined. In conclusion, echocardiographic imaging of cardiac function should include LV strain as a supplementary method to LVEF. Echocardiographic parameters can identify elevated LV filling pressure with good accuracy and may be applied in the diagnostic workup of patients suspected of HFpEF., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: O.A.S. is a co-inventor of ‘Method for myocardial segment work analysis’ and has received one speaker honorarium from GE Healthcare.

21. Temporary External Fixation to Table as a Traction Reduction Aide in the Treatment of Unstable Pelvic Ring Injuries: A Technical Note.

Author

Abstract

Displaced pelvic ring injuries can be challenging to even the experienced orthopedic traumatologist. A temporary external fixation to table construct provides a quick, simple, and accessible means of external skeletal fixation to reliably obtain and maintain stable hemipelvis reduction on the operating room table. The contralateral hemipelvis can be stabilized to the table by use of Steinman pins safely inserted into the subtrochanteric and anterior column regions and later connected to external fixator bars attached to the table. With rigid stabilization, the displaced contralateral pelvic fragment(s) can be reduced in a more vector intentional manner with greater force than the traditional means of pelvic reduction can allow. The skeletal-table fixation technique is presented along with two cases, a combined pelvic-acetabular injury and an isolated pelvic ring injury., Competing Interests: CONFLICT OF INTEREST: The authors declare that there is no potential conflict of interest relevant to this article., (Copyright © 2020 by Korean Hip Society.)

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate how LBBB and CRT modify RV free wall function by direct ventricular interaction., Background: Right ventricular (RV) function influences prognosis in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). There is, however, limited insight into how LBBB and CRT affect RV function., Methods: In 24 patients with LBBB with nonischemic cardiomyopathy, RV and left ventricular (LV) strain by speckle-tracking echocardiography was measured before and after CRT. Underlying mechanisms were studied in 16 anesthetized dogs with ultrasonic dimension crystals and micromanometers., Results: Patients with LBBB demonstrated distinct early systolic shortening in the RV free wall, which coincided with the typical abnormal early systolic septal shortening. In animals, this RV free wall contraction pattern resulted in reduced myocardial work as a large portion of the shortening occurred against low pressure during early systole, coinciding with abnormal leftward septal motion. RV systolic function was maintained by vigorous contraction in the late-activated LV lateral wall, which pushed the septum toward the RV. CRT reduced abnormal septal motion and increased RV free wall work because there was less inefficient shortening against low pressure., Conclusions: LBBB reduces workload on the RV free wall because of abnormal septal motion and delayed activation of the LV lateral wall. Restoring septal and LV function by CRT increases workload in RV free wall and may explain why patients with RV failure respond poorly to CRT.

Abstract

We investigated whether tachycardia in left bundle branch block (LBBB) decreases left ventricular (LV) diastolic distensibility and increases diastolic pressures due to incomplete relaxation, and if cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) modifies this response. Thirteen canines were studied at baseline heart rate (120 beats/min) and atrial paced tachycardia (180 beats/min) before and after induction of LBBB and during CRT. LV and left atrial pressures (LAP) were measured by micromanometers and dimensions by sonomicrometry. The time constant τ of exponential pressure decay and degree of incomplete relaxation at mitral valve opening (MVO) and end diastole (ED) based on extrapolation of the exponential decay were assessed. Changes in LV diastolic distensibility were investigated using the LV transmural pressure-volume (PV) relation. LBBB caused prolongation of τ ( P < 0.03) and increased the degree of incomplete relaxation during tachycardia at MVO ( P < 0.001) and ED ( P = 0.08) compared with normal electrical activation. This was associated with decreased diastolic distensibility seen as upward shift of the PV relation at MVO by 18.4 ± 7.0 versus 12.0 ± 5.0 mmHg, at ED by 9.8 ± 2.3 versus 4.7 ± 2.3 mmHg, and increased mean LAP to 11.4 ± 2.7 versus 8.5 ± 2.6 mmHg, all P < 0.006. CRT shifted the LV diastolic PV relation downwards during tachycardia, reducing LAP and LV diastolic pressures ( P < 0.03). Tachycardia in LBBB reduced LV diastolic distensibility and increased LV diastolic pressures due to incomplete relaxation, whereas CRT normalized these effects. Clinical studies are needed to determine whether a similar mechanism contributes to dyspnea and exercise intolerance in LBBB and if effects of CRT are heart rate dependent. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Compared with normal electrical conduction, tachycardia in left bundle branch block resulted in incomplete relaxation during filling, particularly of the late activated left ventricular lateral wall. This further resulted in reduced left ventricular diastolic distensibility and elevated diastolic pressures and thus amplified the benefits of cardiac resynchronization therapy in this setting.

Abstract

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the hypothesis that patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) are hypersensitive to elevated afterload., Background: Epidemiological data suggest that LBBB can provoke heart failure in patients with hypertension., Methods: In 11 asymptomatic patients with isolated LBBB and 11 age-matched control subjects, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were measured by echocardiography. Systolic arterial pressure was increased by combining pneumatic extremity constrictors and handgrip exercise. To obtain more insight into mechanisms of afterload response, 8 anesthetized dogs with left ventricular (LV) micromanometer and dimension crystals were studied during acutely induced LBBB and aortic constriction. Regional myocardial work was assessed by LV pressure-dimension analysis., Results: Consistent with normal afterload dependency, elevation of systolic arterial pressure by 38 ± 12 mm Hg moderately reduced LVEF from 60 ± 4% to 54 ± 6% (p < 0.01) in control subjects. In LBBB patients, however, a similar blood pressure increase caused substantially larger reduction in LVEF (p < 0.01), from 56 ± 6% to 42 ± 7% (p < 0.01). There were similar findings for GLS. In the dog model, aortic constriction abolished septal shortening (p < 0.02), and septal work decreased to negative values (p < 0.01). Therefore, during elevated systolic pressure, the septum made no contribution to global LV work, as indicated by net negative work, and instead absorbed energy from work done by the LV lateral wall., Conclusions: Moderate elevation of arterial pressure caused marked reductions in LVEF and GLS in patients with LBBB. This reflects a cardiodepressive effect of elevated afterload in the dyssynchronous ventricle and was attributed to loss of septal function., (Copyright © 2019 American College of Cardiology Foundation.

Abstract

Aims: There are conflicting data and no consensus on how to measure acute response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). This study investigates, which contractility indices are best markers of acute CRT response., Methods and Results: In eight anaesthetized dogs with left bundle branch block, we measured left ventricular (LV) pressure by micromanometer and end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV) by sonomicrometry. Systolic function was measured as LV ejection fraction (EF), peak rate of LV pressure rise (LV dP/dtmax) and as a gold standard of contractility, LV end-systolic elastance (Ees), and volume axis intercept (V0) calculated from end-systolic pressure-volume relations (ESPVR). Responses to CRT were compared with inotropic stimulation by dobutamine. Both CRT and dobutamine caused reduction in ESV (P < 0.01) and increase in LV dP/dtmax (P < 0.05). Both interventions shifted the ESPVR upwards indicating increased contractility, but CRT which reduced V0 (P < 0.01), caused no change in Ees. Dobutamine markedly increased Ees, which is the typical response to inotropic stimulation. Preload (EDV) was decreased (P < 0.01) by CRT, and there was no change in EF. When adjusting for the reduction in preload, CRT increased EF (P = 0.02) and caused a more marked increase in LV dP/dtmax (P < 0.01)., Conclusion: Increased contractility by CRT could not be identified by Ees, which is a widely used reference method for contractility. Furthermore, reduction in preload by CRT attenuated improvement in contractility indices such as EF and LV dP/dtmax. These results suggest that changes in LV volume may be more sensitive markers of acute CRT response than conventional contractility indices.

Abstract

Atrial switch operation in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) leads to leftward shift and changes the geometry of the interventricular septum. By including the implications of regional work and septal curvature, this study investigates if changes in septal function and geometry contribute to reduced function of the systemic right ventricle (RV) in adult TGA patients. Regional myocardial work estimation has been possible by applying a recently developed method for noninvasive work calculation based on echocardiography. In 14 TGA patients (32 ± 6 yr, means ± SD) and 14 healthy controls, systemic ventricular systolic strains were measured by speckle tracking echocardiography and regional work was calculated by pressure-strain analysis. In TGA patients, septal longitudinal strain was reduced to -14 ± 2 vs. -20 ± 2% in controls ( P < 0.01) and septal work was reduced from 2,046 ± 318 to 1,146 ± 260 mmHg·% ( P < 0.01). Septal circumferential strain measured in a subgroup of patients was reduced to -11 ± 3 vs. -27 ± 3% in controls ( P < 0.01), and a reduction of septal work (540 ± 273 vs. 2,663 ± 459 mmHg·%) was seen ( P < 0.01). These reductions were in part attributed to elevated afterload due to increased radius of curvature of the leftward shifted septum. To conclude, in this mechanistic study we demonstrate that septal dysfunction contributes to failure of the systemic RV after atrial switch in TGA patients. This is potentially a long-term response to increased afterload due to a flatter septum and suggests that medical therapy that counteracts septal flattening may improve function of the systemic RV. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We have demonstrated that transposition of the great arteries patients with systemic right ventricles (RVs) have reduced function of the interventricular septum (IVS). Since the IVS is constructed to eject into the systemic circulation, it may seem unexpected that it does not maintain function when being part of the systemic RV. By applying the principles of regional work, wall tension, and geometry, we have identified unfavorable working conditions for the IVS when the RV adapts to systemic pressures.

Abstract

Objective: To explore i) the ways in which empathic communication is expressed in interpreter-mediated consultations; ii) the interpreter's effect on the expression of empathic communication., Methods: We coded 9 video-recorded interpreter-mediated simulated consultations by using the Empathic Communication Coding System (ECCS) which we used for each interaction during interpreter-mediated consultations. We compared patients' empathic opportunities and doctors' responses as expressed by the patients and doctors and as rendered by the interpreters., Results: In 44 of the 70 empathic opportunities there was a match between the empathic opportunities as expressed by the patients and as rendered by the interpreters. In 26 of the 70 empathic opportunities, we identified 5 shift categories (reduced emotion, omitted emotion, emotion transformed into challenge, increased challenge/progress, twisted challenge) in the interpreter's rendition to the doctor. These were accompanied by changes in the level of empathy and in the content of the doctors' empathic responses., Conclusion: The interpreters' renditions had an impact on the patients' empathic opportunities and on the doctors' empathic responses in one third of the coded interactions., Practice Implications: Curricula with a focus on intercultural communication and/or empathy should consider the complexity of interpreter-mediated interaction and the interpreter's impact on the co-construction of empathy., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of a posture-cuing shirt on internal rotation velocity of the shoulder during a tennis swing and to determine this influence on shoulder external rotation position., Methods: Nine healthy competitive college tennis players from a Division III college participated in this study. High-speed motion capture allowed for 3-dimensional analysis of shoulder kinematics during a tennis serve. Two conditions were evaluated while the athletes performed a high-velocity tennis serve: a standard tennis shirt and a posture-cuing shirt., Results: Shoulder internal rotation velocity increased when wearing the posture-cuing shirt. Peak internal rotation velocity increased from 960.61°/s ± 93.24°/s to 1217.96°/s ± 155.01°/s ( t = -1.76, P = .058). Internal rotation velocity at the time of impact increased from 765.18°/s ± 95.48°/s to 900.54°/s ± 105.33°/s ( t = -1.50, P = .086). Shoulder maximum external rotation did not differ between the 2 conditions, at 172.00° ± 2.92° and 170.89° ± 3.70° ( t = 0.325, P = .754)., Conclusions: Wearing a posture-cuing shirt may possibly alter shoulder kinematics during an overhead sport activity such as tennis. Internal rotation velocity seemed to improve while wearing this shirt, although shoulder external rotation position did not change. It is not known if these improvements can influence injury risk.

Abstract

Aims: Acute coronary artery occlusion (ACO) occurs in ∼30% of patients with non-ST-segment elevation-acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). We investigated the ability of a regional non-invasive myocardial work index (MWI) to identify ACO., Methods and Results: Segmental strain analysis was performed before coronary angiography in 126 patients with NSTE-ACS. Left ventricular (LV) pressure was estimated non-invasively using a standard waveform fitted to valvular events and scaled to systolic blood pressure. MWI was calculated as the area of the LV pressure-strain loop. Empirical cut-off values were set to identify segmental systolic dysfunction for MWI (<1700 mmHg %) and strain (more than -14%). The number of dysfunctional segments was used in ROC analysis to identify ACO. The presence of ≥4 adjacent dysfunctional segments assessed by MWI was significantly better than both global strain and ejection fraction at detecting the occurrence of ACO (P < 0.05). Regional MWI had a higher sensitivity (81 vs. 78%) and especially specificity (82 vs. 65%) compared with regional strain. Logistic regression demonstrated that elevated systolic blood pressure significantly decreased the probability of actual ACO in a patient with an area of impaired regional strain., Conclusion: The presence of a region of reduced MWI in patients with NSTE-ACS identified patients with ACO and was superior to all other parameters. The regional MWI was able to account for the influence of systolic blood pressure on regional contraction. We therefore propose that MWI may serve as an important clinical tool for selecting patients in need of prompt invasive treatment., (Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.

Abstract

The solution of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol (Chloraprep) is commonly used for antiseptic skin preparation before surgery. We conducted a study to evaluate the efficacy of this solution in eradicating organisms during skin preparation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), to isolate the organism type, and to evaluate possible contributing factors leading to infection. Ninety-nine patients who were undergoing TKA were swabbed for cultures in the popliteal fossa before and after solution application. Swabs were collected, cultured, and read. Culture isolates grew in 20 (20%) of the 99 patients before solution application and in 5 (5%) of the 99 after application. Mean presolution body mass index (BMI) was 38 for patients with bacterial isolates and 34 for patients without isolates (P<.03). Mean postsolution BMI was 40 for patients with bacterial isolates and 35 for patients without isolates. BMI was a statistically significant factor in predicting presence of isolates after solution application. In addition, presence of bacteria in presolution cultures was predictive of isolation in postsolution cultures. Diabetic patients were 3.6 times more likely than nondiabetic patients to have a bacterial isolate. Other factors did not predict organism isolation. No patient developed a postoperative infection.

Abstract

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been proposed in heart failure patients with narrow QRS, but the mechanism of a potential beneficial effect is unknown. The present study investigated the hypothesis that left ventricular (LV) pacing increases LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) by allowing the LV to start filling before the right ventricle (RV) during narrow QRS in an experimental model. LV and biventricular pacing were studied in six anesthetized dogs before and after the induction of LV failure. Function was evaluated by pressures and dimensions, and dyssynchrony was evaluated by electromyograms and deformation. In the nonfailing heart, LV pacing gave the LV a head start in filling relative to the RV (P < 0.05) and increased LVEDV (P < 0.05). The response was similar during LV failure when RV diastolic pressure was elevated. The pacing-induced increase in LVEDV was attributed to a rightward shift of the septum (P < 0.01) due to an increased left-to-right transseptal pressure gradient (P < 0.05). LV pacing, however, also induced dyssynchrony (P < 0.05) and therefore reduced LV stroke work (P < 0.05) during baseline, and similar results were seen in failing hearts. Biventricular pacing did not change LVEDV, but systolic function was impaired. This effect was less marked than with LV pacing. In conclusion, pacing of the LV lateral wall increased LVEDV by displacing the septum rightward, suggesting a mechanism for a favorable effect of CRT in narrow QRS. The pacing, however, induced dyssynchrony and therefore reduced LV systolic function. These observations suggest that detrimental effects should be considered when applying CRT in patients with narrow QRS., (Copyright © 2014 the American Physiological Society.)
