[PMID: 34486123 PMCID: PMC8495079 DOI: 10.1002/clc.23694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2021] [Revised: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background To investigate the clinical value of acoustic cardiography in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and post‐percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) early asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Methods Inpatients in the department of cardiology were included in the research (n = 315); including 180 patients with angina pectoris and 135 patients with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction after emergency PCI did not present with signs and symptoms of heart failure. Color Doppler echocardiography, brain natriuretic peptide, acoustic cardiography examination were performed. The patients were divided into four groups: non‐CAD group (n = 60), CAD group (n = 120), MIREF group (EF% < 50%, n = 75), and MINEF group (EF% ≥ 50%, n = 60). Results Acoustic cardiography parameters EMATc, systolic dysfunction index, S3 strength and S4 strength in the MIREF group were higher than those in MINEF group (p < .05), and the MINEF group was higher than CAD group (p < .05). S3 strength (area under the curve [AUC] 0.67, 95% CI 0.585–0.755, p < .001) and S4 strength (AUC 0.617, 95% CI 0.536–0.698, p = .011) are useful in the diagnosis of CAD. S3 strength (AUC 0.942, 95% CI 0.807–0.978, p < .001) was superior to other indicators in the diagnosis of early left ventricular systolic dysfunction after myocardial infarction. Conclusion S4 combined with STT standard change can improve the diagnosis of CAD. Acoustic cardiography can be used as a non‐invasive, rapid, effective, and simple method for the diagnosis of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction in the early stage after myocardial infarction.

Cardiovascular risk factors among cancer patients qualified for systemic treatment. Analysis of a cardiovascular disease-free cohort from the Polish multicentre study ONCOECHO. Arch Med Sci 2020; 16:1295-1303. [PMID: 33224328 PMCID: PMC7667439 DOI: 10.5114/aoms.2020.100401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2017] [Accepted: 04/15/2018] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cancer therapies are currently more efficient at increasing the survival of patients (pts) with cancer. Unfortunately, the cardiovascular (CV) complications of cancer therapies may adversely affect improving results of treatment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of classical CV risk factors among pts with de novo diagnosis of cancer and thus identify the cohort of pts with potentially increased future risk of CV complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS The analysis is based on the database of the multicentre ONCOECHO study. Pts before systemic treatment (chemotherapy or targeted therapy) were included. The diagnostic datasets of resting electrocardiogram, blood samples, and transthoracic echocardiogram were analysed in 343 consecutive pts who were free from any cardiovascular disease that could adversely affect the introduced treatment. RESULTS Our cohort included 4.4% of pts with kidney cancer, 7.3% with colorectal cancer, 26.5% with haematological malignancies (HM), and 61.8% with breast cancer. The risk estimated by SCORE was 4.56 ±5.07%. Breast cancer pts had lower cardiovascular risk than those with HM (p = 0.001) and kidney cancer (p = 0.002). Additionally, the HM group had much higher levels of natriuretic peptides (p < 0.001) and creatinine (p = 0.008) than pts with breast cancer. The comparison with the NATPOL population data showed that our pts were more often smokers, hypertensives, and diabetics, but less frequently presented with hypercholesterolaemia. CONCLUSIONS Patients with new diagnosis of cancer, who are candidates for potentially cardiotoxic medical treatment, have increased prevalence of significant cardiovascular risk factors and therefore should be followed by a multidisciplinary team during the therapeutic process.
