Abstract

The study objective is to examine the direct correlations among brand image, brand trust, and customer brand loyalty, as well as mediating impact of brand satisfaction on these relationships. A model was proposed based on a theoretical consideration, and seven hypotheses were formulated. Data were collected using questionnaires. Respondents in Malaysia's Northern Region (Penang, Perlis, and Kedah) returned 288 usable questionnaires. PLS-SEM was used to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed positive and significant correlations among brand image, brand trust and customer brand loyalty. Brand image, brand trust, and brand satisfaction all showed positive and significant correlations. A significant and positive association between satisfaction with brand and customer brand loyalty was also found in this study. The study's findings also demonstrated that these relationships are mediated by brand satisfaction. This study also highlighted research limitations, contributions, and future research directions.

Abstract

Background: The extent to which health care systems have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide necessary cardiac diagnostic services is unknown. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the pandemic on cardiac testing practices, volumes and types of diagnostic services, and perceived psychological stress to health care providers worldwide. Methods: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations from baseline in cardiovascular diagnostic care at the pandemic's onset and 1 year later. Multivariable regression was used to determine factors associated with procedure volume recovery. Results: Surveys were submitted from 669 centers in 107 countries. Worldwide reduction in cardiac procedure volumes of 64% from March 2019 to April 2020 recovered by April 2021 in high- and upper middle-income countries (recovery rates of 108% and 99%) but remained depressed in lower middle- and low-income countries (46% and 30% recovery). Although stress testing was used 12% less frequently in 2021 than in 2019, coronary computed tomographic angiography was used 14% more, a trend also seen for other advanced cardiac imaging modalities (positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance; 22%-25% increases). Pandemic-related psychological stress was estimated to have affected nearly 40% of staff, impacting patient care at 78% of sites. In multivariable regression, only lower-income status and physicians’ psychological stress were significant in predicting recovery of cardiac testing. Conclusions: Cardiac diagnostic testing has yet to recover to prepandemic levels in lower-income countries. Worldwide, the decrease in standard stress testing is offset by greater use of advanced cardiac imaging modalities. Pandemic-related psychological stress among providers is widespread and associated with poor recovery of cardiac testing.

Abstract

Importance It is unknown whether coronary revascularization, when added to optimal medical therapy, improves prognosis in patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) at increased risk of cardiovascular events owing to moderate or severe ischemia. Objective To describe baseline characteristics of participants enrolled and randomized in the International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches (ISCHEMIA) trial and to evaluate whether qualification by stress imaging or nonimaging exercise tolerance test (ETT) influenced risk profiles. Design, Setting, and Participants The ISCHEMIA trial recruited patients with SIHD with moderate or severe ischemia on stress testing. Blinded coronary computed tomography angiography was performed in most participants and reviewed by a core laboratory to exclude left main stenosis of at least 50% or no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) (

39. Perindopril

Author

Alfakih, K and Hall, AS

Abstract

Perindopril is a third-generation ACE inhibitor that is characterised as a small, lipophilic molecule with a therapeutically active carboxyl side group. These and other features combine to make this a unique member of a very well-established class of drugs that have proven efficacy in a wide range of cardiovascular diseases. The Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) demonstrated benefit in the secondary prevention of patients with stroke, whereas the Perindopril and Remodelling in Elderly with Acute Myocardial Infarction (PREAMI) trial supports extended routine use after myocardial infarction. The most recent evidence from the European Trial on Reduction of Cardiac Events with Perindopril in Stable Coronary Artery Disease (EUROPA) and the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT) show that perindopril is able to improve the prognosis of patients with a relatively low global cardiovascular risk, denoted either by the presence of stable coronary artery disease or of essential hypertension in conjunction with at least three other risk factors. The fact that major relative risk reductions have been reported for these two studies is matched by the significance of the findings to modern clinical practice. Both studies were conducted in the context of advance concomitant care that is typically better in clinical trials than in routine practice. In particular, the benefits observed were seen to be of a similar magnitude, and also independent of those resulting from statin therapy. Of particular interest is the likely complimentary action of these treatment strategies with regard to the stabilisation of atheromatous plaques. Perindopril is a well-established drug, the full value of which is only now becoming fully apparent.

Abstract

Background: The outcome of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) has improved thanks to left atrium (LA) anatomy reconstruction by computed tomography with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction algorithm (CT-ASIR) before the procedure. However, CT-ASIR strategy is associated to an increase of cumulative effective radiation dose (ED) in these patients. Recently, a model-based iterative reconstruction algorithm (MBIR, GE Healthcare, Waukesha,Wisconsin) has been developed (CT-MBIR) for image noise reduction reducing the ED close to chest X-ray exposure. The aim of this study is to compare the CT and RFCA characteristics, AF recurrence after procedure and radiation exposure between RFCA guided by image integration with CT-ASIR versus CT-MBIR Methods and Materials: One-hundred twenty consecutive patients with drug-refractory paroxysmal or persistent AF were addressed to CT-ASIR (Group 1; N: 60; mean age 60.3 ± 10.1 yo; male: 46) or CT-MBIR protocol (Group 2; N: 60; mean age 59.7 ± 11.3 yo; male:45) for evaluation of LA before RFCA. All patients were subsequently treated by image integration-supported RFCA. Image noise, signal to noise ratio (SNR), contrast to noise ratio (CNR), RFCA procedural characteristics, rate of AF recurrence and CT radiation exposure were measured and compared between the two groups. Results: The two groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors, prevalence of persistent AF, medical therapy and echocardiographic characteristics. The mean follow-up was similar (578 ± 284 vs. 591 ± 278 days, respectively, p:ns). Group 2 showed a higher signal to noise ratio (25.9 ± 7.1 vs. 13.8 ± 5.1) and contrast to noise ratio (22.7 ± 6.5 vs. and 14.08 ± 4.1) of left atrium as compared to Group 1 (p<0.001). No differences were found in terms of RFCA parameter [procedural duration (130.9 ± 130.6. vs. 143.8 ± 80.4 min); fluoroscopy time (27.9 ± 14.1.0 vs. 32.0 ± 16.4 min); pulmonary veins isolated (3.8 ± 0.4 vs. 3.9 ± 0.4)] and the rate of AF recurrence (31% vs. 29%) between Group 2 vs Group 1. Group 2 showed a 94% reduction of ED as compared to Group 1 (0.4 ± 0.04 mSv vs 6.4 ± 1.8 mSv, p<0.01). Conclusions: CT-MBIR allows accurate non-invasive reconstruction of LA anatomy in AF patients undergoing to RFCA with a submillisievert effective radiation and comparable success rate of RFCA with CT-ASIR technique.

Abstract

Coronary angiography has diagnostic limitation in identifying non-stenotic coronary lesion (NSCL) responsible for ischemia. Myocardial perfusion defects in patients (pts) with NSCL have often been unreasonably considered by invasive cardiologists as being "false positive". We evaluated a prognostic value of gated SPECT MPI in unselected group of the pts with NSCL over a 24 month period of follow-up. 170 pts (115 males, 67.6%; age 42-68 years; mean age 56.4±9.2 years) with NSCL (stenosis of 50% or less of LAD and 70% or less of any other coronary artery or its major branches) were enrolled into the study. Retrospective analysis of 86 pts with NSCL and subsequent positive MPS performed within 6 months from the time of coronary angiography (study group) and 84 pts with normal scan results (control group) was performed. Follow-up period was for 24 months from the time of MPI or up to the time of major coronary event (MCE) - first occurrence of cardiac death or myocardial infarction. Over a two-year follow-up, approximately 11% of the pts in study group had MCE as compared to 3.2% in the control group (P < .01). Abnormal MPI, EF < 35% and high levels of hs-CRP were independent predictors for MCE in the study group. In multivariate analysis only an abnormal MPI remained to be an independent predictor regardless of size or severity of perfusion abnormalities (P <.005). Pts with NSCL on coronary angiography and myocardial perfusion defects have relatively high event rate (11%) of MCE over a period of 24 months from the time of MPI. So, we highly recommend gated SPECT MPI to be obligatory performed in all cases of NSCL to avoid life-threatening coronary complications in forthcoming future.

Abstract

Abstract Background The dual-bolus protocol enables accurate quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) by first-pass perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). However, despite the advantages and increasing demand for the dual-bolus method for accurate quantification of MBF, thus far, it has not been widely used in the field of quantitative perfusion CMR. The main reasons for this are that the setup for the dual-bolus method is complex and requires a state-of-the-art injector and there is also a lack of post processing software. As a solution to one of these problems, we have devised a universal dual-bolus injection scheme for use in a clinical setting. The purpose of this study is to show the setup and feasibility of the universal dual-bolus injection scheme. Methods The universal dual-bolus injection scheme was tested using multiple combinations of different contrast agents, contrast agent dose, power injectors, perfusion sequences, and CMR scanners. This included 3 different contrast agents (Gd-DO3A-butrol, Gd-DTPA and Gd-DOTA), 4 different doses (0.025 mmol/kg, 0.05 mmol/kg, 0.075 mmol/kg and 0.1 mmol/kg), 2 different types of injectors (with and without "pause" function), 5 different sequences (turbo field echo (TFE), balanced TFE, k-space and time (k-t) accelerated TFE, k-t accelerated balanced TFE, turbo fast low-angle shot) and 3 different CMR scanners from 2 different manufacturers. The relation between the time width of dilute contrast agent bolus curve and cardiac output was obtained to determine the optimal predefined pause duration between dilute and neat contrast agent injection. Results 161 dual-bolus perfusion scans were performed. Three non-injector-related technical errors were observed (1.9%). No injector-related errors were observed. The dual-bolus scheme worked well in all the combinations of parameters if the optimal predefined pause was used. Linear regression analysis showed that the optimal duration for the predefined pause is 25s to separate the dilute and neat contrast agent bolus curves if 0.1 mmol/kg dose of Gd-DO3A-butrol is used. Conclusion The universal dual-bolus injection scheme does not require sophisticated double-head power injector function and is a feasible technique to obtain reasonable arterial input function curves for absolute MBF quantification.

Abstract

Background: The attainment of the primary (low density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C) and the secondary (non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol; non-HDL) lipid therapeutic targets may depend on several potential factors. Our aim was assess the associations between ultrasound fat indexes, lipid levels and the lipid goals attainment in high and very high cardiovascular (CV) risk patients. Methods: Four hundred twenty (n=420) patients (F/M=146/274; age=61 ± 7 y.o.) with high (43%) or very high (57%) cardiovascular risk and chronic statin treatment (³12 months) were enrolled into the study. Obesity measures (body-mass index, BMI; bioelectrical impedance body fat; BF, waist circumference, WC, body adiposity index; BAI), serum levels of lipids (total cholesterol–TC, LDL-C, HDL-C and triglycerides–TG) and goal lipid levels (LDL-C and non-HDL-C) according to the CV risk were determined in all patients. The following ultrasound fat parameters were used in the study: intraabdominal fat (IAT), preperitoneal fat thickness (PreFT), epicardial (EFT) and pericardial (PFT) fat thickness and were indexed to BMI. Results: Our study patients had 5.2 ± 1.7 CV risk factors (80% hypertension, 32% diabetes, 59% metabolic syndrome), 49% were obese, 63% had high BF% and 85% had increased waist circumference (F>80 or M>94cm). All the patients were on a long-term statin treatment (rosuvastatin, atorvastatin or simvastatin). The attainment of the target lipid levels in the study group was as follows: LDL-C–34%, non-HDL-C–39%, both LDL-C and non-HDL-C 31%. Mean fat parameters in the study group were as follows: IAT–76.4 ± 26mm, PreFT–23.3 ± 6.5mm, EFT–3.5 ± 1.5mm and PFT–8.6 ± 3.8mm. Patients with LDL-C goal attainment had significantly higher BAI (34.6 ± 33 vs 30.5 ± 7, p=0.04), but significantly lower IAT/BMI (2.35 ± 0.7 vs 2.51 ± 0.7, p<0.05) with no differences in other clinical (BMI, BF%, WC) and ultrasound (PreFT/BMI, EFT/BMI, PFT/BMI) indexes. The LDL-C goal achievement revealed inverse association with IAT/BMI (r=-0.15, p<0.05) and no associations with PreFT/BMI, EFT/BMI or PFT/BMI. Multivariable regression analysis revealed independent association between IAT/BMI and the LDL-C goal achievement. Conclusions: Intraabdominal fat thickness representing visceral adipose tissue is inversely associated with the LDL-C goal attainment independently from general obesity. It may help to identify individuals requiring more aggressive management of dylipidaemia.

Abstract

Clinical PET acquisitions of the heart suffer from artefacts and drops in image quality due to the poor spatial resolution of the PET system. Moreover, cardiac PET images are further degraded by the blur caused by the breathing and beating motions, thus hampering diagnosis and evaluation of myocardial pathologies. Anatomy-enhanced PET reconstruction, using a high-resolution CT, has proven useful in brain imaging. In cardiac datasets however, due to the motion artefacts, the application of any restoring technique on datasets affected by motion blur needs to be preceded by the validation of the proposed method on realistic static datasets. In this work, the validation is performed using static cardiac ex vivo datasets obtained from a number of sacrificed sheep, scanned on a clinical PET/CT scanner. The aim of this work is to assess the effectiveness of reconstructions of the acquired datasets with different CT-based anatomical priors, in comparison to reconstructions currently applied in clinical practise. The gold standard to which all reconstructions are compared consists of images of the same hearts scanned on a small-animal PET scanner, whose high spatial resolution allows for almost artefact-free images. Encouraging results were obtained so far, with improvements in volume delineation and uniformity of activity values when anatomical information was used. Fig 1 shows the gold standard image (left) compared to a regular clinical reconstruction (middle) and to a reconstruction using the high-resolution CT as anatomical information (right). Figure

Abstract

Purpose: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is the clinical gold standard technique to exclude left atrial thrombus prior to electrical- of pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA) regarding the detection of left atrial thrombus compared to the gold standard TEE. Methods: In total 444 patients were referred to left atrial angiography before atrial fibrillation ablation procedure (149 women, 295 men, mean age 56y) between February 2011 and January 2014. We have investigated the patients who subsequently underwent TEE (n=201). Results: CTA excluded left atrial thrombi in 178 cases. In all negative CTA cases were confirmed by TEE (true negatives). In 23 cases CTA showed incomplete contrast filling in the left appendage: 19 false positives and 4 true positives. According to our results sensitivity of cardiac CT is 100% [95% CI: 40.2%-100%], specificity was 90.4% [95% CI: 85.4%-94.1%], negative predictive value was 100% [95% CI: 97.9%-100%] and positive predictive value was 17.4% [95% CI: 5.1%-38.8%]. Conclusion: Cardiac CT was very sensitive to diagnose left atrial thrombus, the negative predictive value proved to be 100%. In patients where cardiac CTA excludes left appendage thrombus subsequent TEE examination may be unnecessary.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The extent to which health care systems have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide necessary cardiac diagnostic services is unknown.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the pandemic on cardiac testing practices, volumes and types of diagnostic services, and perceived psychological stress to health care providers worldwide.METHODS: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations from baseline in cardiovascular diagnostic care at the pandemic's onset and 1 year later. Multivariable regression was used to determine factors associated with procedure volume recovery.RESULTS: Surveys were submitted from 669 centers in 107 countries. Worldwide reduction in cardiac procedure volumes of 64% from March 2019 to April 2020 recovered by April 2021 in high- and upper middle-income countries (recovery rates of 108% and 99%) but remained depressed in lower middle- and low-income countries (46% and 30% recovery). Although stress testing was used 12% less frequently in 2021 than in 2019, coronary computed tomographic angiography was used 14% more, a trend also seen for other advanced cardiac imaging modalities (positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance; 22%-25% increases). Pandemic-related psychological stress was estimated to have affected nearly 40% of staff, impacting patient care at 78% of sites. In multivariable regression, only lower-income status and physicians' psychological stress were significant in predicting recovery of cardiac testing.CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac diagnostic testing has yet to recover to prepandemic levels in lower-income countries. Worldwide, the decrease in standard stress testing is offset by greater use of advanced cardiac imaging modalities. Pandemic-related psychological stress among providers is widespread and associated with poor recovery of cardiac testing.

Abstract

Aims: Hypertensive patients of African ancestry (Afr-a) have higher incidences of heart failure and worse clinical outcomes than hypertensive patients of European ancestry (Eu-a), yet the underlying mechanisms remain misunderstood. This study investigated right (RV) and left (LV) ventricular remodelling alongside myocardial tissue derangements between Afr-a and Eu-a hypertensives., Methods and Results: 63 Afr-a and 47 Eu-a hypertensives underwent multi-parametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance. Biventricular volumes, mass, function, mass/end-diastolic volume (M/V) ratios, T2 and pre-/post-contrast T1 relaxation times, synthetic extracellular volume, and myocardial fibrosis (MF) were measured. 3D shape modelling was implemented to delineate ventricular geometry. LV and RV mass (indexed to body-surface-area) and M/V ratio were significantly greater in Afr-a than Eu-a hypertensives (67.1 ± 21.7 vs. 58.3 ± 16.7 g/m2, 12.6 ± 3.48 vs. 10.7 ± 2.71 g/m2, 0.79 ± 0.21 vs. 0.70 ± 0.14 g/mL, and 0.16 ± 0.04 vs. 0.13 ± 0.03 g/mL, respectively; P < 0.03). Afr-a patients showed greater basal interventricular septum thickness than Eu-a patients, influencing LV hypertrophy and RV cavity changes. This biventricular remodelling was associated with prolonged T2 relaxation time (47.0 ± 2.2 vs. 45.7 ± 2.2 ms, P = 0.005) and higher prevalence (23% vs. 4%, P = 0.001) and extent of MF [2.3 (0.6-14.3) vs. 1.6 (0.9-2.5) % LV mass, P = 0.008] in Afr-a patients. Multivariable linear regression showed that modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and greater end-diastolic volume, but not ethnicity, were independently associated with greater LV mass., Conclusion: Afr-a hypertensives had distinctive biventricular remodelling, including increased RV mass, septal thickening and myocardial tissue abnormalities compared with Eu-a hypertensives. From this study, modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and ventricular geometry, but not ethnicity, were independently associated with greater LV myocardial mass., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: P.-G.M. is a consultant at Perspectum Diagnostics Ltd (Oxford, UK), (© The Author(s) 2024.

Abstract

Background: Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive marker for identifying subclinical myocardial dysfunction in obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Little is known about the relationship between GLS and ischemia in patients with myocardial ischemia and no obstructive CAD (INOCA)., Objectives: To investigate the relationship between resting GLS and ischemia on stress echocardiography (SE) in patients with INOCA., Methods: Left ventricular GLS was calculated offline on resting SE images at enrollment (n = 144) and 1-year follow-up (n = 120) in the CIAO-ISCHEMIA (Changes in Ischemia and Angina over One year in International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness with Medical and Invasive Approaches trial screen failures with no obstructive CAD on computed tomography [CT] angiography) study, which enrolled participants with moderate or severe ischemia by local SE interpretation (≥3 segments with new or worsening wall motion abnormality and no obstructive (<50% stenosis) on coronary computed tomography angiography., Results: Global longitudinal strain values were normal in 83.3% at enrollment and 94.2% at follow-up. Global longitudinal strain values were not associated with a positive SE at enrollment (GLS = -21.5% positive SE vs GLS = -19.9% negative SE, P = .443) or follow-up (GLS = -23.2% positive SE vs GLS = -23.1% negative SE, P = .859). Significant change in GLS was not associated with positive SE in follow-up (P = .401). Regional strain was not associated with colocalizing ischemia at enrollment or follow-up. Changes in GLS and number of ischemic segments from enrollment to follow-up showed a modest but not clinically meaningful correlation (β = 0.41; 95% CI, 0.16, 0.67; P = .002)., Conclusions: In this cohort of INOCA patients, resting GLS values were largely normal and did not associate with the presence, severity, or location of stress-induced ischemia. These findings may suggest the absence of subclinical myocardial dysfunction detectable by echocardiographic strain analysis at rest in INOCA., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest J.P. reports grants from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute during the conduct of the study.

Abstract

Background: Patients with significant (≥50%) left main disease (LMD) have a high risk of cardiovascular events, and guidelines recommend revascularization to improve survival. However, the impact of intermediate LMD (stenosis, 25%-49%) on outcomes is unclear., Methods: Randomized ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches) participants who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography at baseline were categorized into those with (25%-49%) and without (<25%) intermediate LMD. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), or hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure, or resuscitated cardiac arrest. The primary quality of life outcome was the Seattle Angina Questionnaire summary score., Results: Among the 3699 participants who satisfied the inclusion criteria, 962 (26%) had intermediate LMD. Among invasive strategy participants with intermediate LMD on coronary computed tomography angiography, 49 (7.0%) had significant (≥50% stenosis) left main stenosis on invasive angiography. Patients with intermediate LMD had a higher risk of cardiovascular events in the unadjusted but not in the fully adjusted model compared with those without intermediate LMD. An invasive strategy increased procedural MI and decreased nonprocedural MI with no significant difference for other outcomes including the primary end point. There was no meaningful heterogeneity of treatment effect based on intermediate LMD status except for nonprocedural MI for which there was a greater absolute reduction with invasive management in the intermediate LMD group (-6.4% versus -2.0%; P interaction =0.049). The invasive strategy improved angina-related quality of life and the benefit was durable throughout follow-up without significant heterogeneity based on intermediate LMD status., Conclusions: In the ISCHEMIA trial, there was no meaningful heterogeneity of treatment benefit from an invasive strategy regardless of intermediate LMD status except for a greater absolute risk reduction in nonprocedural MI with invasive management in those with intermediate LMD. An invasive strategy increased procedural MI, reduced nonprocedural MI, and improved angina-related quality of life., Registration: URL: https://www., Clinicaltrials: gov; Unique identifier: NCT01471522.
