How to estimate left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients.
Abstract Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a structural remodeling of the heart developing as a response to volume and/or pressure overload. Previous studies have shown that hypertension is not an independent factor in the development of LVH and occurrence does not depend on the length and severity of hypertension, but the role played by other comorbidities such as triglycerides, age, gender, genetics, insulin resistance, obesity, physical inactivity, increased salt intake and chronic stress. LVH develops through three phases: adaptive, compensatory, and pathological phase. Contractile dysfunction is r...

The effects of hormonotherapy administered concurrent radiotherapy and trastuzumab on cardiac toxicity in rats.
CONCLUSION: Our study results suggested that there was no significant additional cardiotoxicity of adjuvant hormonotherapy following concomitant RT and T treatment, compared to RT in terms of cardiac fibrosis.

Effect of antihypertensive therapy on endothelial markers in newly diagnosed Stage 1 hypertension: a randomized single-centre study.
CONCLUSION: This study has indicated that olmesartan and nebivolol causes similar changes in blood pressure response, FMD FMD and endothelial function biomarkers improved. These results suggest that antihypertensive treatment, independent of the medication used, is associated with endothelial function improvement.

Effects of right ventricular dysfunction on exercise capacity and quality of life and associations with serum NT-proBNP levels in COPD: an observational study.
CONCLUSION: Exercise limitation may be predicted by assessment of right ventricule functions and NT-proBNP levels and exercise limitation impairs quality of life in COPD patients. PMID: 24818627 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology)

Combined effect of aerosolized iloprost and oxygen on assessment of pulmonary vasoreactivity in children with pulmonary hypertension.
CONCLUSION: Administration of inhaled iloprost in combination with O2 for pulmonary vasoreactivity testing can be useful for correctly identifying pulmonary vasoreactivity without extending the duration of cardiac catheterization.
