Abstract

Stage A and B heart failure (HF) include asymptomatic patients without and with structural cardiac disorder, respectively. Asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction represents an early stage of HF that should be recognized to prevent overt HF development. Echocardiography plays a pivotal role in assessment of cardiac structure and function and represents the ideal imaging technique for screening in the general population, thanks to its availability, feasibility, and low cost. Traditional echocardiography, with LV systolic and diastolic function and cardiac remodeling assessment, is usually performed. Development of new technologies may offer additional information and insights in detection of early LV dysfunction.

Abstract

Background: Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction (ALVD) is relatively common in both community and high-risk populations. Early pharmacological intervention can improve clinical outcomes in subjects with this condition. Objectives: This multicentre study consists on electrocardiographic and echocardiographic examination of stage A and B heart failure (HF) asymptomatic subjects with one or more cardiovascular risk factors, to assess the prognostic value of cardiovascular risk factors per se, clinical history, and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic parameters in prediction of progression of HF and/or in development of cardiovascular primary or secondary events. Material and methods: A total of 2142 asymptomatic subjects (mean age 63 years, 1162 males) performed an electrocardiographic and echocardiographic examination. Electrocardiogram (ECG) pathological signs according to Minnesota code and left ventricular dysfunction both systolic and diastolic by echocardiography were evaluated. There were 2002 subjects who were followed up for 26 11 months, observing their primary and secondary end points. Results: At follow up, the study population presented 111 primary end points (5.2%) and 441 secondary end points (20.6%). ECG criteria of LV hypertrophy and signs of ischaemia or previous myocardial infarction (p<0.0001) were highly significantly related to primary end points. Both ECG and echocardiography (systolic function) are able at Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival curves to predict primary end points (p<0.0001). Conclusions: Presence or absence of left ventricular systolic and /or diastolic dysfunction has an incremental value in comparison to cardiovascular risk factors, clinical history, and ECG findings to predict both the evolution towards a more severe HF stage (stage C) and also the occurrence of cardiovascular events.

Abstract

De acuerdo con un proyecto nacional promovido por el Grupo Nacional Italiano para la Protección contra Riesgos Hidrogeológicos han sido publicados los mapas de vulnerabilidad (1:50.000) de parte del Territorio Italiano, particularmente algunos mapas de Sicilia: Montes Iblei, Moadonie, Sicani y el Monte Etna. Estos mapas se han vuelto documentos públicos para el manejo local del agua subterránea. Algunos fenómenos muy peligrosos han sido reportados en algunas áreas de Sicilia. Intervenciones antrópicas han creado basureros de residuos tóxicos sobre áreas vulnerables. Esta investigación explica las ventajas del uso de mapas de vulnerabilidad en estudio de tipos peligrosos de contaminación para la situación encontrada en el área de Augusta-Priolo, Sicilia, en la cual un complejo petroquímico ha sido instalado. Aspectos hidrogeológicos y petroquímicos son examinados para evaluar las posibilidades de intervención preventiva y de reclamación. En las mismas áreas, en regiones costeras, la intrusión marina esta incrementándose progresivamente.doi: sin doi

Abstract

ASYMPTOMATIC CAROTID LESIONS AND AGING: ROLE OF HYPERTENSION AND OTHER TRADITIONAL AND EMERGING RISK FACTORS BACKGROUND: We evaluated the prevalence of intima-media thickening (IMT) and asymptomatic carotid plaque (ACP) in a group of subjects with or without traditional and/or emerging risk factors (RF). METHODS: There were 631 subjects (313 male and 318 female) aged between 19 and 97 years, asymptomatic for cerebro- and cardiovascular diseases. The following measurements were used: anamnesis, physical examination, height and sitting blood pressure. Biochemistry variables were also considered: total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, triglycerides, fibrinogen, high sensitive C-reactive protein, IgG antibodies for Helicobacter pylori (HP), cytotoxic HP, cytomegalovirus and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Finally, an echo color Doppler examination of the carotid arteries was performed. We subdivided the population studied in normotensive and hypertensive subjects and evaluated in each group the frequency of IMT and ACP in relation to age. RESULTS: We showed that IMT + ACP was significantly more frequent in patients >65 years in comparison with those 65 years vs. those

Abstract

Background: Early diagnosis of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction represents a major challenge in asymptomatic subjects with cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) has emerged as an important tool with clinical relevance in several cardiac diseases. Hypothesis: To evaluate the prognostic ability of TDI in detecting early longitudinal ventricular dysfunction in a large group of asymptomatic subjects with CV risk factors (RsF), normal LV systolic function, and normal diastolic function. Methods: A total of 554 subjects (mean age 55 ± 13 years, 39% men) formed our study population: controls, 144 healthy subjects; group 1, 163 subjects with 1 CV RsF; group 2, 147 subjects with 2 CV RsF; group 3, 100 subjects with ≥3 CV RsF. All subjects underwent a comprehensive standard echo-Doppler evaluation, including posterior wall TDI study. Follow-up data were available in all the studied samples (mean 28 ± 16 mo). Results: Upon follow-up, 18 individuals (3.2%) developed a first overt CV event. The presence of a peak systolic velocity

Abstract

The assessment of arterial stiffness, a common feature of ageing, exacerbated by many common disorders such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or renal diseases, has become an attractive tool for identifying structural and functional abnormalities of the arteries in the preclinical stages of the atherosclerotic disease. Arterial stiffness has been recognized as an important pathophysiological determinant of systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure increases and therefore the cause of cardiovascular complications, demonstrating also an independent predictive value for cardiovascular events. Although there are many techniques and indices currently available, their large clinical application is limited by a lack of standardization, with important difficulties when one try effectively to measure, quantify, and compare. Moreover, information on the ‘heart-vessel coupling disease’, in which combined stiffness of both heart and arteries interact to limit cardiovascular performance and its possible implications in different clinical conditions, is still not well known. We overviewed main methods and indices used to estimate arterial stiffness and aimed to provide an insight into the knowledge of the ventricular–arterial coupling from the cardiologist's point of view.

Abstract

The new echocardiographic techniques for the study of physiopathological intramyocardial phenomena include video densitometry (VD), integrated backscatter (IBS), and color Doppler myocardial imaging (CDMI). Being more independent from cardiac load and from rotational and translational heart motion, these new sensible, noninvasive techniques such as CDMI and IBS show a real incremental value in comparison with conventional echocardiography and allow to detect subtle functional and textural abnormalities of intramural myocardium, partially undetectable by conventional two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction (STD), both in its hypo- and hyperthyroidism form, has a relatively high prevalence in general population (9-15% with a lower percentage of adult males), hence it could be very useful to study more deeply heart involvement in these physiopathological conditions and understand the complex relationship between thyroid and heart. The use of these new ultrasonic techniques in subclinical hypothyroidism helps to detect the early simultaneous involvement of both cardiac cycle phases, which causes a decrease of intramyocardial contractility and an impairment of both active and passive phases of diastole. In subclinical hyperthyroidism, these new ultrasonic techniques permitted to discover more complex and different early cardiac abnormalities of both systolic and diastolic phases.
