Vascular health assessment with flow-mediated dilatation and retinal image analysis Universiteit Antwerpen
Aim: Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and retinal vascular analysis (RVA) may assist in predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) but are poorly characterised in South Africa. We recorded baseline FMD and retinal vascular widths in healthy participants, and investigated associations with cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: Endothelial function (measured with FMD), microvascular structure (evaluated via fundus image analysis) and major CVD risk ...
Predictors of Hemodynamic Improvement and Stabilization Following Intraaortic Balloon Pump Implantation in Patients With Advanced Heart Failure KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: The intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) is currently an essential tool to improve hemodynamics in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). This study investigated predictors for hemodynamic improvement or stabilization with IABP therapy in patients with advanced HF. METHODS: Patients with advanced HF and hemodynamic deterioration treated with IABP were enrolled in this retrospective study. Invasive hemodynamics were measured before ...
