Background— The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between time in the therapeutic range (TTR) and clinical outcomes in heart failure patients in sinus rhythm treated with warfarin. Methods and Results— We used data from the Warfarin versus Aspirin in Reduced Cardiac Ejection Fraction (WARCEF) trial to assess the relationship of TTR with the WARCEF primary outcome (ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, or death), with death alone, ischemic stroke alone, major hemorrhage alone, and net clinical benefit (primary outcome and major hemorrhage combined). Multivariable Cox models were used to examine how the event risk changed with TTR and to compare the high TTR, low TTR, and aspirin-treated patients, with TTR being treated as a time-dependent covariate. A total of 2217 patients were included in the analyses; among whom 1067 were randomized to warfarin and 1150 were randomized to aspirin. The median (interquartile range) follow-up duration was 3.6 (2.0–5.0) years. Mean (±SD) age was 61±11.3 years, with 80% being men. The mean (±SD) TTR was 57% (±28.5%). Increasing TTR was significantly associated with reduction in primary outcome (adjusted P P =0.001), and improved net clinical benefit (adjusted P P =0.082 for ischemic stroke and adjusted P =0.109 for major hemorrhage). Conclusions— In patients with heart failure in sinus rhythm, increasing TTR is associated with better outcome and improved net clinical benefit. Patients in whom good quality anticoagulation can be achieved may benefit from the use of anticoagulants. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov . Unique identifier: NCT00041938.

Purpose: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare and severe disease for which right ventricular (RV) remodelling and function are associated with survival. The unique anatomy and structure of the RV limit 2D analysis, and its regional function has not been studied yet. We show the contribution of regional 3D deformation analysis for the study of RV remodelling in patients with PH, as compared to healthy controls. Methods: 3D RV echocardiographic sequences were prospectively obtained from 32 patients with PH (57±21y, 15 male) and 10 healthy controls (38±13y, 6 male). Myocardial tracking was performed by semi-automatic Tomtec 4D RV-Function 2.0 software. Volumes and EF were directly obtained from the software. Output RV meshes were post-processed to extract local deformation (area strain) and radial/circumferential/longitudinal displacement. Data were temporally realigned to allow inter-subject pattern comparison. Spatial correspondences were obtained from the software, and allowed statistical computation in 8 standard zones of the RV. Results: 19 patients (59%) were NYHA class III-IV at baseline. Over a mean FU of 49±41days, 5 patients died from cardiopulmonary causes. The highest contraction was at the RV lateral and inferior levels. Regional motion and deformation and global volume patterns for patients was significantly affected at the RV anterior, lateral, inferior, and trabecular and inlet septum. The first 4 segments were significantly associated with NYHA class and survival. Global area strain >-15% was a significant predictor of death (HR 411e12 [140 – 1.2e27]). Conclusion: Our study confirms that the segments into which RV contraction predominates are also the determinants of symptoms and survival in PH patients. This is of high relevance to establish the prognosis of such patients.

Electrical conduction of metal/DLC/silicon/metal heterostructures has been investigated, Both DLC/p-Si and DLC/n-Si systems shows rectifying properties. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the heterostructures can be described well by the simplified diode equation with the ideality factor between 21.2 and 3.25, decreasing with increasing temperature. The directive tendency of I-V characteristics is independent of the type of silicon substrate. A simple qualitative band model of DLC/Si junction is proposed.

Introduction Pour atteindre les objectifs recommandes sur les taux de LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) et non HDL-cholesterol (non HDL-C) dans le diabete de type 2, il est souvent necessaire d’avoir recours a une association therapeutique. L’objectif de cette etude a ete d’evaluer l’efficacite et la tolerance d’une association fixe fenofibrate 160 mg/pravastatine 40 mg chez des patients avec diabete de type 2 sans antecedent cardiovasculaire et non aux objectifs sous simvastatine 20 mg. Patients et Methodes Il s’agit d’une etude multicentrique, randomisee, en double aveugle et groupes paralleles realisee dans 73 centres europeens. Apres une phase preliminaire de 6 semaines de stabilisation sous simvastatine 20 mg, 291 patients avec non HDL-C ≥ 1,30 g/l ou LDL-C ≥ 1,00 g/l et triglycerides (TG) ≥ 1,50 g/l et ≤ 6,00 g/l ont ete randomises pour recevoir pendant 12 semaines soit l’association fenofibrate 160 mg/pravastatine 40 mg, soit la simvastatine 20 mg. Le critere principal d’efficacite etait le pourcentage moyen de variation du non HDL-C et les criteres secondaires incluaient les evolutions des taux de HDL-C, TG, LDL-C, apoB et fibrinogene. Resultats Au terme des 12 semaines de traitement, le non HDL-C a ete plus reduit sous fenofibrate 160 mg/pravastatine 40 mg que sous simvastatine 20 mg (-12,9 % vs -6,8 %, p = 0,008). L’association fenofibrate 160 mg/pravastatine 40 mg a egalement ete plus efficace pour reduire le taux de TG (-28,6% vs 5,0 %, p Conclusion L’association fenofibrate 160 mg/pravastatine 40 mg est plus efficace que la simvastatine 20 mg pour ameliorer le profil lipidique de patients diabetiques de type 2 avec hypercholesterolemie mixte en prevention primaire.

The effect of low doses of clonidine (CL) (150 microgram/day p.o.) on catecholamine (CA) excretion, blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) was investigated in a double-blind way on 9 healthy volunteers. CL administration for two consecutive days led to marked diminution of urinary CA, mainly of epinephrine, with only slight decrease in systolic BP and HR. The results show that this dose of CL is effective in suppressing adrenergic tone as reflected by the magnitude of CA excretion, without marked influence upon systemic BP. Subsequently, the same dose of the drug was administered for two weeks to 30 unselected patients with intractable angina known to be often associated with adrenergic overactivity. Clinical improvement manifested by complete disappearance of coronary pains or marked decrease in the incidence of anginal attacks was achieved in the majority (over 60%) of patients. Although best results were seen in patients with borderline hypertension, the drug was also effective in normotensive patients and no untoward hypotensive symptoms were noted throughout the trial. Blood CA and free fatty acids (FFA) measurements performed in 5 patients showed that favourable clinical effect of CL therapy coincides with lowering of CA and FFA levels. This study indicates that CL administered in a dose which does suppress adrenergic activity might be of value in the treatment of coronary patients. Favourable results of this preliminary trial incline to undertake well controlled clinical study.

- Abstract
In many cases, atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a history of cardiac inflammation. One of the potential pathogens responsible for atrial inflammation might be Borrelia burgdorferi - a pathogen involved in Lyme carditis. This study aimed to assess whether the serological history of Borrelia infection was associated with the risk of AF. The study included 113 AF patients and 109 patients in sinus rhythm. All patients underwent a clinical evaluation, echocardiography and had their blood taken for the assessment of anti-Borrelia IgG antibodies. Patients with AF compared with the non-AF group had more often serological signs of Borrelia infection (34.5% vs 6.4%; p <0.0001). The multivariate analysis showed that positive results for anti-Borrelia IgG antibodies were a strong independent predictor of AF (odds ratio 8.21; 95% confidence interval 3.08 to 21.88; p < 0.0001). In conclusion, presented data show that exposure to Borrelia spp. infection is associated with an increased risk of AF. Whether the early treatment of Lyme disease lowers the risk of AF development remains to be explored., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with an increased risk of heart failure (HF) development. Diverse microRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to appear in the bloodstream following various cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to identify prognostic miRNAs associated with LV dysfunction following AMI. Patients were divided into subgroups comprising patients who developed or not LV dysfunction within six months of the infarction. miRNA profiles were determined in plasma and serum samples of the patients on the first day of AMI. Levels of 14 plasma miRNAs and 16 serum miRNAs were significantly different in samples from AMI patients who later developed LV dysfunction compared to those who did not. Two miRNAs were up-regulated in both types of material. Validation in an independent group of patients, using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) confirmed that miR-30a-5p was significantly elevated on admission in those patients who developed LV dysfunction and HF symptoms six months after AMI. A bioinformatics analysis indicated that miR-30a-5p may regulate genes involved in cardiovascular pathogenesis. This study demonstrates, for the first time, a prognostic value of circulating miR-30a-5p and its association with LV dysfunction and symptoms of HF after AMI.

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the degree of cardiorespiratory fitness and the function of the right ventricle (RV). 117 rowers, age 17.5±1.5 years. All subjects underwent cardiopulmonary exercise. Standard echocardiography and 2D speckle tracking echocardiography with evaluation of longitudinal strain in each segment of the RV (basal - RVLS-B; mid - RVLS-M, apical - RVLS-A) and global RV free-wall strain (RVLS-G) were performed. RVLS-B values were lower compared to the RVLS-M (-25.8±4.4 vs -29.3±3.5; p<0.001) and RVLS-A values (-25.8±4.4 vs -26.2±3.4; p=0.85). Correlations between VO
2 max and RVLS were observed in men: RVLS-G strain (r = 0.43; p <0.001); RVLS-B (r = 0.30; p = 0.02); RVLS-M (r = 0.38; p = 0.02). A similar relationship was not observed in the group of women. The strongest predictors corresponding to a change in global and basal strain were VO2 max and training time: RVLS-G (VO2 max: β = 0.18, p = 0.003; training time: β = -0.39; p = 0.02) and RVLS-B (VO2 max: β = 0.23; p = 0.0001 training time: β = -1.16; p = 0.0001). The global and regional reduction of RV systolic function positively correlates with the level of fitness, and this relationship is observed already in young athletes. The character of the relationship between RV deformation parameters and the variables that determine the physical performance depend on gender. The dependencies apply to the proximal fragment of the RV inflow tract, which may be a response to the type of flow during exercise in endurance athletes., Competing Interests: Conflict of interests The authors declared no conflict of interests regarding the publication of this manuscript.- Published

- Abstract
Assessment of thromboembolic risk is crucial for proper management of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Currently used risk score base only on scarce clinical data and do not take into consideration parameters including echocardiographic findings. The aim of this study was to evaluate if left atrium (LA) enlargement is associated with higher thromboembolic risk assessed by CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in a cohort of unselected non-valvular AF patients. Data from 582 AF hospitalizations occurring between November 2012 and January 2014 were analyzed. All patients underwent a standard transthoracic echocardiography and had their thromboembolic risk assessed in both CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores. In 494 enrolled patients (48.5 % male; mean age 73.4 ± 11.5 years) AF was classified as paroxysmal in 233 (47.3 %), as persistent in 109 (22.1 %), and as permanent in 151 (30.6 %) patients. LA was enlarged in 426 (86.2 %) patients. Enlargement was classified as mild in 99 (20.0 %) patients, as moderate in 130 (26.3 %) patients, and as severe in 196 (39.7 %) patients. Patients with enlarged LA had higher mean CHADS2 score (2.0 ± 1.5 vs. 2.6 ± 1.3; p = 0.0005) and CHA2DS2-VASc (3.8 ± 2.0 vs. 4.4 ± 1.8; p = 0.02) score than patients with normal LA. The both mean scores rose along with rising LA diameter. LA enlargement is highly prevalent in AF patients. Higher thromboembolic risk assessed by both CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores is associated with presence of LA enlargement. Echocardiographically assessed LA size may be an additional parameter useful in thromboembolic risk stratification of AF patients.

- Abstract
Aims: The athlete's heart is a widely discussed topic regarding the adaptation of the left ventricle (LV) to regular training. The data on the morphology and-even more-the function of the right ventricle (RV) are less well studied. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of prolonged exertion on morphology and function of the RV., Methods and Results: We examined 38 elite athletes, members of the Polish Olympic Team and a control group of 41 age and sex-matched healthy volunteers. Specifically, we assessed the details of RV size and function including: RV enlargement, transtricuspid systolic gradient, and dilatation of main pulmonary artery (PA) as compared with the values derived from the control group. There was no significant difference in the function of the RV assessed using tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) between the athletes and controls (S': 15.0 cm/sec vs. 14.0 cm/sec; E': 15.8 cm/sec vs. 15.7 cm/sec; A': 9.9 cm/sec vs. 10.4 cm/sec), but the athletes had a higher transtricuspid systolic gradient (23.6 mm Hg vs. 19.0 mm Hg, P = 0.004). There were no significant differences in TDE velocities in athletes with dilated RV or PA. However, those with elevated tricuspid regurgitation velocity had lower systolic velocities of the tricuspid annulus then the rest (S': 12.3 cm/sec vs. 15.5 cm/sec, P = 0.01)., Conclusions: RV enlargement in professional athletes is not connected with deterioration of diastolic or systolic RV function. Athletes with elevated pulmonary systolic pressure at rest, however, present with lower longitudinal systolic velocities of RV assessed using TDE., (© 2011, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
Aim: The indication to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is controversial. The Suppression of Paroxysmal Atrial Tachyarrhythmias (SOPAT) trial was designed to answer the following questions: (1) What is the average rate of spontaneous events of symptomatic PAF with and without anti-arrhythmic medication? (2) what is the prevalence of severe side-effects? and (3) is the fixed combination of Quinidine + Verapamil inferior to the efficacy of sotalol or not?, Methods and Results: Within 60 months 172 centres in Germany, Poland, and The Slovak Republic prospectively enrolled 1033 patients (mean age 60 years, 62% male) with documented frequent episodes of symptomatic PAF. Patients were randomised to either Quinidine + Verapamil 480/240 mg/d (high dose; 263 patients), Quinidine + Verapamil 320/160 mg/d (low dose; 255 patients), Sotalol 320 mg/d (264 patients) or placebo (251 patients), of which 1012 patients entered the intention-to-treat analysis. The primary endpoint was the time to first recurrence of symptomatic PAF or premature discontinuation. Secondary outcome parameters were the total number of symptomatic episodes and tolerability of the tested drugs. Patients were followed for a period of up to 12 months by daily and symptom-triggered trans-telephonic ECG-monitoring (Tele-ECG). The mean time under treatment was 233 +/- 152 days. Regarding the primary endpoint, all active treatments were superior to placebo and not different from each other. A total of 756 patients reached the primary endpoint within 105.7 +/- 8.7 d (mean +/- SEM) in the placebo group, vs. Quinidine + Verapamil (high dose) (150.4 +/- 10 d, p = 0.0061), vs. Quinidine + Verapamil (low dose) (148.9 +/- 10.6 d, p = 0.0006), vs. Sotalol (145.6 +/- 93 d, p = 0.0007). All three treatments were also effective in the reduction of AF burden (days with symptomatic AF [%] mean +/- SD, p vs. placebo): Quinidine + Verapamil (high dose) (3.4 +/- 12, p = 0.0001), Quinidine + Verapamil (low dose) (4.5 +/- 12.3, p = 0.008) and Sotalol (2.9 +/- 6.5, p = 0.026) compared to placebo (6.1 +/- 13.5). A total of four deaths, 13 syncopes, and one ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurred during the active study period, of which one death and one VT were related to Quinidine/Verapamil., Conclusion: Taken together, anti-arrhythmic therapy with the fixed combination of Quinidine + Verapamil is as effective as Sotalol in the reduction of the recurrence rate of symptomatic PAF with a low but definite risk of severe side-effects.

- Abstract
Changes in R-wave amplitude during exercise tests performed soon after myocardial infarction (15-31 days, mean 22) were analyzed in 78 men in relation to left ventricular injury (determined by 2-D echocardiography), ventricular arrhythmias (24-h Holter monitoring) and survival after myocardial infarction. It has been found that in patients with mild left ventricular injury (n = 51, Heger index < or = 3) the sum of the R-wave amplitude in 15 precordial leads recorded immediately after exercise decreased by 3.7 +/- 10% in comparison with resting values. In the patients with major left ventricular injury (n = 26, Heger Index > 3) the sum of R-wave amplitude after exercise increased by 12.9 +/- 17.5% (P < 0.001). Positive linear correlation (r = 0.35, P < 0.01) was observed between the level of left ventricular wall motion disturbances and R-wave amplitude changes. In patients with normal or slightly disturbed cardiac rhythm (n = 42, Lown scale 0-2) the sum of the R-wave amplitude after exercise decreased by 5 +/- 18% as compared to resting values, whereas in the patients with complex arrhythmias (n = 23, Lown scale 3-5) the sum of R-wave amplitude increased amounting to 9.9 +/- 17% (P < 0.001). Out of 17 patients who died during 5-year follow up, 16 displayed an increase or no change of the sum of R-wave amplitude. The same kind of relations between R-wave amplitude changes and left ventricular injury or cardiac arrhythmias were noted in patients with anterior and inferior myocardial infarction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
Transesophageal atrial pacing (TAP) is used in the diagnosis and treatment of paroxysmal narrow QRS complex tachycardia (NQT). The aim of this study was to assess the value of this technique in predicting the efficacy of antiarrhythmic therapy. The study group consisted of 30 consecutive patients with spontaneous NQT whose clinical tachycardia was inducible by TAP. Baseline TAP was performed off all antiarrhythmic medication and repeated during oral antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The pacing protocol consisted of three stages: a single extrastimulus introduced at progressively shorter coupling intervals during sinus rhythm, pacing at incremental rates to the point of second-degree AV block, and bursts of rapid pacing. On repeat stimulation while on oral antiarrhythmic therapy (37 pacing studies) NQT was still inducible in 12 cases. During the follow-up period ten patients developed a recurrence of NQT:nine cases out of 12 (75%), in whom NQT was inducible while on antiarrhythmic therapy, and one case out of 25 (4%), in whom NQT was not inducible (P less than 0.001). The sensitivity of TAP in predicting the outcome of the patients with NQT was 90%, and the specificity 89%. The negative predictive value of TAP (prediction of no recurrence of NQT) was 96%, and the positive predictive value (prediction of recurrence of NQT) was 75%. We conclude that TAP is a simple and accurate method for predicting the efficacy of antiarrhythmic treatment in patients with NQT.

- Abstract
We performed signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) and Holter monitoring, and subsequently followed-up 53 ambulatory patients with left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) after myocardial infarction (MI). A history of spontaneous episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) was also analysed. Out of 53 patients, 25 (47%) had an abnormal SAECG. Abnormal SAECG correctly identified nine out of 10 cases with a history of sustained VT. Complex ventricular arrhythmias were detected on Holter monitoring in 23 patients: in five out of 28 with normal SAECG (18%) and in 18 out of 25 with abnormal SAECG (72%) (P less than 0.001). During follow-up (mean 19 months) sustained VT and/or sudden cardiac death (SCD) occurred in eight cases, out of which seven had an abnormal SAECG. The negative predictive value of SAECG (no VT or SCD during follow-up) was very high, 96%, similar to the negative predictive value of a history of sustained VT (93%). Using multivariate analysis only a history of sustained VT was an independent factor in predicting the outcome of patients in this study. We conclude that an abnormal SAECG identifies those post infarction patients with LVA who are prone to complex ventricular arrhythmias. A normal SAECG and an absence of a history of sustained VT strongly indicate that the risk of developing arrhythmic events is very low.

- Abstract
Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ST 567 in patients suffering from ischaemic heart disease and to compare the effects of this drug with those of propranolol. The study group consisted of 48 male patients, mean age 53, with stable, exercise-induced angina pectoris. After a two-week run-in-placebo period, the patients were randomized to treatment with ST 567 3 X 30 mg (N = 24) and propranolol, 3 X 40 mg (N = 24). The drugs were administered in a double blind fashion during four weeks. Heart rate at rest was decreased by ST 567 from 76 to 65 (P less than 0.005) by propranolol from 76 to 62 (P less than 0.001). Systolic blood pressure was lowered by ST 567 from 131 to 121 (NS) and by propranolol from 133 to 118 (P less than 0.05). Exercise tolerance was increased by ST 567 from 20 X 10(3) to 34 X 10(3) J (P less than 0.05), by propranolol from 26 X 10(3) to 32 X 10(3) J (P less than 0.01) (mean values). Anginal attacks (no. per week) were reduced by ST 567 from 14 to 7 (P less than 0.05) and by propranolol from 14 to 5 (P less than 0.01). Nitroglycerin consumption in no. of tablets per week decreased in ST 567 from 12 to 7 (P less than 0.01), in propranolol from 11 to 4 (P less than 0.0). There were 7 drop outs during treatment with ST 567:2 cases of myocardial infarction, exacerbation of angina in 2 patients, visual disturbances in 2 patients, vertigo in 1 patient. With propranolol we observed worsening of angina in 1 patient, with disturbances in sexual potency in 1., In Conclusion: ST 567 is an effective agent in chronic angina but slightly less effective than propranolol in the dosages studied.
