Oedema ‐fibrosis in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X‐linked muscle disorder characterized by progressive, irreversible loss of cardiac and skeletal muscular function. Muscular enlargement in DMD is attributed to oedema, due to the increased cytoplasmic Na+ concentration. The aim of this review was to present the current experience and emphasize the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the diagnosis of this condition. DMD patients' survival depends on ventilatory assistance, as respiratory muscle dysfunction was the most common cause of death in the past. Currently, due to improved ventilatory assistance, card...

Dynamics of neutrophil gelatinase ‐associated lipocalin plasma and cerebrospinal fluid concentrations in older males
ConclusionsThis study illustrates the temporal regulation of NGAL in plasma and CSF, which potentially is a useful reference for studies measuring NGAL as biomarker in older individuals.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: European Journal of Clinical Investigation)

Cardiopulmonary exercise test predicts right heart catheterization
ConclusionIn patients with suspected PAH, VEint during exercise and the VE/VCO2 slope might provide useful information to predict results of RHC. Their correlations with PVR and with DPG may be helpful in discriminating patients with isolated post‐capillary PH from those with combined post‐capillary and pre‐capillary.This article is protected by copyright.

Ventricular Mechanics After Repair of Subarterial and Perimembranous VSDs
ConclusionAdolescents and adults late after repair of subarterial and perimembranous VSDs show impairment of RV systolic and diastolic myocardial deformation. The RV outflow function and LV systolic deformation appear to be worse after repair of subarterial defects.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
