Der volle Inhalt der QuelleUltrasonic elastography is a validated technique used for almost 10 years to evaluate the stiffness of superficial static organs such as the liver and the breast. Its application to the study of the mechanical characteristics of the heart is very recent, and has been the subject of only a few experimental proof of concept studies in animals and humans. In this work, we evaluated Shear Wave Elastography imaging in a version adapted to the heart from clinical sequences designed for static organs, successively in vitro, in an animal model and in humans with aortic stenosis,. In the phantom study, we showed that measurements with cardiac sequences and linear probes were consistent with reference sequences, whereas measurements with the sectorial probe were only interpretable between 4 and 10 cm, and presented a homogeneous measurement field. In the animal model, we showed that systolic stiffness was affected by loading conditions and correlated with contractility, while diastolic stiffness was independent of loading conditions, contractility short ischemia and heart rate, with good intra- and inter-animal agreement. In humans, we confirmed the dynamic nature of myocardial stiffness with a systole/diastole ratio of 3.5, showed that diastolic myocardial stiffness was significantly higher in aortic stenosis and significantly correlated with left ventricular remodeling, severity of aortic obstruction and ventricular preload. These promising results demonstrate the potential clinical benefit of this modality if widely implemented on commercial systems

Thesis, Normandie, 2021. http://www.theses.fr/2021NORMC401.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe objective of this thesis is to analyze myocardial mechanics and cardiac remodeling and function, using transthoracic echocardiography, after optimal correction of a congenital obstruction of the left ventricle and to identify potential risk markers for the occurrence of atrial fibrillation. The first focus of this work is a prospective multicenter study presenting the evolutionary pattern of atrial arrhythmias in adults with congenital heart disease. This study demonstrates the prominence of atrial fibrillation, which becomes the predominant atrial arrhythmia after the age of 50 in these patients. The second area of study focuses on left atrial stiffness, a recent echocardiographic index well correlated with the presence of atrial fibrosis and occurrence of atrial fibrillation. We demonstrate that left atrial stiffness may be abnormal despite optimal correction of a congenital left heart obstruction, especially in patients experiencing aortic coarctation and in overweight patients. The third and fourth lines of research specifically explore remodeling and cardiac function in patients whose aortic coarctation has been repaired. In the third area of research, we use two-dimensional strain analysis to detect a high prevalence of left atrial dysfunction in adults and adolescents after aortic coarctation repair. Left atrial dysfunction is influenced by the anatomy of the aortic arch; a potential relationship with cardiovascular events and left atrial function is identified. Finally, in the last area of research, we identify anomalies of the right ventricular function after coarctation repair. Our results illustrate the potential contribution of new imaging techniques such as two-dimensional strain to identify patients at risk of developing atrial fibrillation, the prevention of which is one of the current challenges in adult congenital cardiology

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleHypertension post cardiac transplant is frequent and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and graft dysfunction, being reported because of the use of immunosuppressant, especially the calcineurin inhibitors. This study aims to evaluate the impact of hypertension on the arterial stiffness calculated using the IARA as surrogate outcome obtained by the Home Blood Pressure Monitoring in heart transplanted patients. This is an observational study, analytical, with the control group, in Heart and Lung Messejana´s Hospital, a public institution in the State of Ceará, which is specialized in cardiopulmonary diseases and especially in heart transplant, with adult patients cardiac transplanted, which underwent clinical and complementary exams, from which were obtained the IARA. Statistical significance tests and logistic regression to control for confounding were performed. The average age of transplanted was 55 years, against 48 of the non-transplanted. Hypertension was more frequent in prior not transplanted, but diabetes and coronary artery disease were more frequent in transplanted. The average diastolic of transplanted (82) is significantly higher than the non-transplanted (74) and decrease systolic is virtually nonexistent in transplant patients (-0.18) than in the control group (9.45). The condition of the transplanted patient is not determinant of arterial stiffness (p = 0.105), but are the systolic hypertension in the first evaluation, the average systolic, diastolic average in 12:0 am 12:0 am, systolic, diastolic descent and the IARA (parameters of the HBPM). This study showed that in a group of adult cardiac transplanted, hypertension is independently associated with arterial stiffness estimated by IARA, which is a new method, non-invasive, easy to perform and inexpensive. The evidence demonstrated by this study may assist in treatment of transplanted patients, contributing to improving the prognosis

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleCardiac transplantation remains the procedure of choice for refractory heart failure, with favorable results in terms of symptoms, quality of life and patient survival. Hypertension appears as a higher incidence of comorbidity in this group of patients, reaching 95% after five years. However, the effect of exercise training in the behavior of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and arterial stiffness has not been studied in this group of patients. We assessment the effects of aerobic physical activity in the behavior of ABPM, arterial stiffness and cardiovascular variables in patients being heart transplanted for a year or more. Thirty-nine patients of both genders were evaluated, then randomized to either training group (TG) (n = 29, 45 ± 13 years) or control group (CG) (n = 9, 51 ± 11 years) and reevaluated after 12 weeks of follow-up. Pre and post evaluations combined examinations of ABPM, carotidfemoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) and graded exercise test, with collections of blood samples for measurement of norepinephrine (Nor) (rest and peak). Aerobic exercise was performed in the TG three times-a-week, two supervised and one unsupervised for 40 minutes initially at an intensity of 80% of heart rate achieved at the respiratory compensation point. The TG showed a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure during average of 24 hours (from 120 ± 11 to 116 ± 14mmHg, p < 0.05) and diurnal cycle (from 123 ± 11 to 118 ± 13mmHg, p<0.05). Diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly for the three periods, the average of 24 hours (from 81 ± 9 to 74 ± 9mmHg, p<0.001), diurnal cycle (from 83 ± 9 to 75 ± 10mmHg, p < 0.001) and nighttime (from 77 ± 10 to 71 ± 10mmHg, p < 0.001). The PWV showed no significant reduction after the followup period for both groups; TG ( from 10.0 ± 1.9 to 9.7 ± 1.9m/s, p = ns) and CG (from10.3 ± 2.2 to 10.4 ± 2.8m/s, p = ns) and the levels of the Nor had a significantly higher peak exercise in TG (from 2386 ± 1274 to 3292 ± 1410 pg/ml p <0.01) and also in relation to the control group after follow-up (3292 ± 1419 versus 2178 ± 659 pg / ml, p <0.05). The exercise training reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in 4.7 and in 7.5 mmHg during daytime, respectively. Reduction also happened during nighttime in 3.5 and in 5.8 mmHg for these variables, respectively. Exercise training improved VO2peak, HRmax and time of exercise (cardiorespiratory fitness) after follow-up, as well.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIntroduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition associated with increased cardiovascular risk. However, most of studies that addressed OSA and its cardiovascular consequences enrolled mainly men. In hypertensive patients, OSA may contribute to increased target organ damage and alterations in the blood pressure dipping in males. However, the impact of OSA in hypertensive females is not well established. In this study, we compared the impact of OSA on arterial stiffness of the aorta (evaluated by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, PWV), as well as diastolic dysfunction and blood pressure dipping in men and women with hypertension. We made the hypothesis that OSA is associated with higher arterial stiffness, higher frequency of diastolic dysfunction and impaired blood pressure behavior regardless of gender. Methods: We recruited consecutives stage 2 hypertensive patients from the outpatient clinic at the Heart Institute. We performed a 30-day standardized anti-hypertensive treatment with hydrochlorothiazide 25mg per day plus enalapril 20mg BID or losartan 50mg BID (if enalapril intolerance). Adherence to treatment was confirmed through pill counting. After that, all volunteers were submitted to clinical evaluation, carotid-femoral PWV, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, transthoracic echocardiogram, and polysomnography. OSA was defined by an apnea-hypopnea index >= 15 events per hour. Results: We initially recruited 125 participants and after exclusions ninety-five patients were studied (56% women). OSA was present in 52 patients (men: 66.7%; women: 45.3%; p=0.02). In comparison to women without OSA, women with OSA were older, had higher body mass index and higher neck and abdominal circumferences. In men, there were no differences between OSA and no-OSA groups, except for higher values of abdominal circumference in OSA patients. Compared to no-OSA patients, PWV values were higher in the OSA group among both males (11.1±2.2 vs. 12.7±2.4m/s, respectively; p=0.04) and females (11.8±2.4 vs. 13.2±2.2m/s, respectively; p=0.03). The impact of OSA on diastolic dysfunction was significant only in females (46.1 vs. 81.8%, respectively; p=0.007). Regarding ambulatory blood pressure monitoring data, the frequency of systolic blood pressure dipping was significantly lower in men with OSA (46.4 vs. 14.3%, respectively; p=0.04) and marginal but non-significant in women (65.2 vs. 41.4%; p=0.07). Linear regression analysis showed that the presence of OSA was independently associated with higher PWV. In the logistic regression analysis, OSA was not associated with diastolic dysfunction but independently associated with nondipping systolic blood pressure. Conclusion: In patients with hypertension, OSA has significant associated with higher arterial stiffness and nondipping systolic blood pressure regardless of gender. These data suggest that hypertensive women are also exposed to the vascular and hemodynamic consequences of OSA

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleObesity is a chronic disease with complications for which treatment and prevention are sought. Visceral fat is an endocrine organ of hormonal storage and a producer of inflammatory adipokines, leading to chronic inflammation in the obese person, which in turn is one of the characteristics of atherogenesis and aging. Increased levels of multifunctional cytokines, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alfa are associated with morbidity and mortality in the elderly, and in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Currently, food worldwide is characterized by increased consumption of saturated and trans fats, as well as reduced consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. Imbalance in the omega-6/omega-3 ratio provides an environment of chronic inflammation, and the initial stimulus for degenerative diseases. The substitution of saturated fats by polyunsaturated fatty acids, alfa-linolenic acid (ALA)- omega-3, and mono-unsaturated fatty acid (omega-9 fatty acids), seems to be associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Obtaining alfa-linolenic acid from vegetable sources is more financially accessible and widely available worldwide than omega-3 fatty acids from fish; both are sources of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. This study was designed to comparatively evaluate the effect of increased ALA consumption, derived from vegetables, on inflammatory indicators and the endothelial reactivity in obese or overweight elderly patients. Seventy nine patients were selected to receive daily doses of linseed oil, olive oil and sunflower oil for 12 consecutive weeks. Anthropometric, biochemical and endothelial reactivity measurements were performed before and after the intervention, without any changes in the participants\' diet or in their medications, and no anthropometric changes were identified after the conclusion of the study. Improvement in some biochemical parameters were identified with linseed oil, which reduced the levels of C-reactive protein, C3, C4 and fibrinogen; with sunflower oil, which reduced levels of leptin, ApoB and also ApoB/ApoA1 ratio; and with the olive oil that improved the ApoB/ApoA1 ratio and the C4 levels. Carotid artery thickness also showed a significant improvement with the three supplemented oils, and was more accentuated with linseed oil and olive oil. In addition, sunflower oil significantly improved the distensibility of the arterial wall and its flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), and olive oil showed a tendency for improvement in FMD. We concluded that the supplementation of unsaturated fatty acids from the three vegetable oils attenuated the pro-inflammatory and prothrombotic conditions. An improvement in the profile of biochemical markers and statistically significant results was identified in markers of endothelial reactivity, such as reduction of carotid artery intima-media thickness, improvement of the arterial wall distensibility and the endothelial function measured by FMD. The introduction of unsaturated fatty acids in the diet was beneficial, in order to reduce cardiovascular risk in obese or overweight elderly

Background and purpose: Patients with diabetes mellitus have the characteristics of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia, leading to an increase in oxidative stress and a decrease in nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. These can cause endothelial dysfunction, which is an important process in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases in diabetes. Statins, inhibitors of 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, are often utilized in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases by their efficacy at lowering lipid levels. Statins may also reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events by their non-lipid or pleiotropic effects. It has been reported that low-dose therapy by atorvastatin (Ator), one of currently available statins, did not alter the lipid profile but led to a reduction in oxidative stress. The aim of the current study was to determine whether such a low-dose Ator could produce benefits on the mechanical properties of arterial system through its decrease of oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Methods: Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats at two monthes by a single tail vein injection of STZ 55 mg kg-1. After induction of hyperglycemia, the diabetic rats daily treated with Ator 10 mg kg-1 for six weeks by oral gavage were compared with the untreated age-matched diabetic controls. Pulsatile aortic pressure and flow signals were measured to describe the physical properties of the arterial system along with the pulse wave reflection phenomena. At the end of the experiment, blood and tissue samples were collected to obtain the plasma levels of free fatty acid (FFA), total cholesterol and the plasma and tissue levels of malondialdehyde/thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (MDA/TBARS). Results: In the absence of any significant changes in total cholesterol, the low dosage of Ator used in this study lowered the plasma levels of free fatty acid and the plasma and tissue levels of MDA/TBARS in diabetes. After exposure to Ator, the STZ-induced diabetic rats showed no significant changes in aortic pressure profile, basal heart rate, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance. Meanwhile, aortic characteristic impedance but not aortic compliance increased markedly in response to Ator therapy in the diabetic animals. As for wave reflection phenomena, Ator exhibited significant changes in both wave transit time by +15.4% (P<0.05) and wave reflection factor by -33.5% (P<0.001). These suggested that Ator may attenuate the diabetes-induced augmentation in systolic load imposed on the heart. The decline in systolic load by Ator treatment could be responsible for the prevention of the diabetes-related cardiac hypertrophy, as manifested by the diminished ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight. Conclusion: Our data suggest that low-lose Ator therapy may attenuate the diabetes-induced aortic stiffening and cardiac hypertrophy, possibility through its decrease of lipid oxidation-derived MDA/TBARS but not related to the total cholesterol-lowering effects of Ator in the STZ-diabetic rats.

Background: Persistent hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and carnitine deficiency contribute to enhanced oxidative stress, which causes arterial dysfunction in diabetes mellitus. Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) has the best antioxidant capacity among carnitine derivates and has similar action on fatty acid metabolism. Although ALC has been proven to be beneficial for diabetic neuropathy, little attention has been given to the pulsatile hemodynamic responses to ALC in preventing diabetes-associated vascular complications. Herein, we determined the effects of ALC on physical properties of the arterial system in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes in Wistar rats, using aortic impedance analysis. In addition, the influences of ALC in diabetes-derived lipid peroxidation and abnormal lipid profiles were also measured. Materials and methods: Diabetes was induced in Wistar-Kyoto rats by a single tail vein injection with STZ (55 mg kg-1). After induction of hyperglycemia and stabilization for 2 weeks, animals were daily treated with ALC (150 mg kg-1 in drinking water) for 8 weeks and compared with the untreated aged-matched diabetic controls. Results: After exposure to ALC, the STZ-diabetic rats showed no alterations in total peripheral resistance and aortic characteristic impedance. In contrast, treatment of this experimental diabetic rats with ALC resulted in a significant rise in wave transit time, from 21.04±0.34 to 24.23±0.55 ms (P<0.001) and a fall in wave reflection factor, from 0.71±0.04 to 0.47±0.03 (P<0.001). Moreover, rising circulating NEFA and triglycerides concentration and increasing malondialdehyde (MDA) content in plasma and aortas of diabetes rats were decreased in ALC treatment group. These suggested that ALC might attenuate the diabetes-derived augmentation in systolic load of left ventricular coupled to its arterial system possibly correlating with its metabolic and antioxidant property per se. The ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight, an indicator of cardiac hypertrophy was also attenuated by the action of ALC in diabetic rats, from 2.46±0.05 to 2.01±0.04 mg g-1 (P<0.001). Conclusions: We conclude that long-term supplementation of ALC to diabetic rats imparts significant protection against the diabetes-related deterioration in ventricular loading conditions and wave reflection phenomena properly via alleviating the increasing oxidative stress in the STZ-induced rats.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIntrodução: O treino físico é potencialmente recomendado para aprimorar a variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) e a rigidez arterial (RA) em pacientes com doença arterial coronariana (DACp). Objetivos: Analisar os efeitos agudos e crônicos dos estímulos ao exercício (agudos: A- máximo, B- sessões; C- crônico: treinamento) na VFC e RA no DACp. Métodos: Participantes: A- participantes classificados de acordo com a aptidão cardiorrespiratória: DACp não-treinados como muito baixa (MB-DAC; n=18); DACp treinados como baixa (B-DAC; n=18); Indivíduos saudáveis treinados como razoável (R-SAU; n=18); B- DACp treinados (DAC-t, n=18) e indivíduos saudáveis treinados (SAU-t, n=18); C- DACp treinados dividido em grupos periodizado (n=12) e não-periodizado (n=12). Protocolos de exercício: A- protocolo de rampa máximo; B- sessões de exercícios combinados de moderada (SECMO) e alta intensidade (SECAL); C-. treinamento periódico e não periodizado. Resultados: A- DACp e pares saudáveis apresentaram semelhante diminuição da VFC e aumento da RA durante a recuperação. B- SECAL aumentou a velocidade da onda de pulso (VOP) aórtico e diminuiu os parâmetros de alta-frequência durante a recuperação em DAC-t; o efeito do grupo foi encontrado após SECAL na VOP do membro superior; ambos os grupos tiveram respostas semelhantes após o SECMO nos parâmetros de VFC e RA; C- Treinamento não-periodizado foi mais eficaz para aprimorar a RA periférica; nenhuma alteração encontrada nos parâmetros da VFC em ambos os protocolos, bem como no VO2pico. Conclusão: Os parâmetros RA e VFC após o esforço máximo não dependem do nível funcional e do estado de saúde em pacientes estáveis; a intensidade do exercício é o principal fator para a prescrição do exercício em indivíduos com e sem DAC, o que determina a fina fronteira entre adaptação e desequilíbrio agudo ao exercício; treino não-periodizado é superior ao periodizado para aprimorar a RA periférica em DACp treinados.
