Coronary artery calcium assessment on non-gated chest CT to optimize pre-operative cardiac screening in liver transplantation Int. J. Cardiol. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-10 Roos A. Groen, Fei Lynn Barbero, Susan E. Fischer, Paul R.M. van Dijkman, Jeroen J. Bax, Maarten E. Tushuizen, J. Wouter Jukema, Minneke J. Coenraad, Michiel A. de Graaf
Guidelines recommend standard pre-operative cardiac screening in all liver transplantation (LT) recipients, despite the relatively low prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Most LT recipients often have non-gated computed tomography (CT) performed of the chest and abdomen. This study evaluated the ability of coronary artery calcification (CAC) assessment on consecutively available scans

Associations of cardiac function and arterial stiffness with cerebrovascular disease Int. J. Cardiol. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-04-09 Chin Hong Tan, Jacinth J.X. Tan
White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) represent diffuse small vessel disease implicating the cardiac, systemic, and cerebral vasculatures. As the brain may be the end-organ of cumulative vascular disease, and higher education is protective of both cardiovascular and brain health, we aim to clarify their intertwining relationships. We evaluated participants (mean age = 64) from the UK Biobank with neuroimaging

First-time detected atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with aggravated prognosis in patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Yet, among patients surviving beyond one year after ACS, it remains unclear how the recurrence of AF within the initial year after ACS affects the risk of stroke. With Danish nationwide data from 2000 to 2021, we identified all patients with first-time ACS who

Quantification of ventricular stress in univentricular hearts during early childhood using age-independent zlog-NT-proBNP Int. J. Cardiol. (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-22 Jonas Palm, Masamichi Ono, Carolin Niedermaier, Jürgen Hörer, Georg Hoffmann, Stefan Holdenrieder, Frank Klawonn, Peter Ewert
Children with univentricular hearts (UVH) undergo up to three palliative surgical procedures to achieve complete circulatory separation (Fontan circulation). As a marker of cardiac wall stress, NT-proBNP is a promising tool to assess systemic ventricular load in these patients. However, different reference intervals (RI) apply to each stage, as NT-proBNP is highly age-dependent. Children undergoing
