Cardiovascular complications are the foremost concern in patients undergoing anticancer therapy. There is an unmet need to address the problems arising from the drug-induced toxicity for the long-term benefit of the patients undergoing chemotherapy. Alternative medicines are gaining their prosperity in addressing the various drug-induced organ toxicity. Dillenia pentagyna Roxb (DP) is an ethnomedicinal plant rich in flavonoids and phenolic contents. In India & Nepal, DP is a common ingredient of traditional medicines used to treat multiple ailments like inflammation, cancer, and diabetes. However, its protective role against doxorubicin (Dox) induced cardiotoxicity remains unexplored. Herein, we investigated the potential effects of various extracts/fractions obtained from the DP’s bark against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity, both in-vitro and in-vivo. The anti-oxidant content of the extracts/fractions was evaluated by using DPPH, ABTS and FRAP chemical assays. The results indicated that the hydroalcoholic (HA) extract of DP has intense anti-oxidant potential. Further fractionation of DP revealed that the phenolic-rich fraction (F1) has a high anti-oxidant potential. The protective effect of extract/fraction was also investigated in the H9c2 cell line following the Dox-induced cardiotoxicity model. We observed that the pre-treatment of extract/fraction in cardiomyocytes had exhibited increased cell viability. Fluorescence-based chemical assays indicated a decreased ROS levels in the treated groups in comparison to the Dox control group. The effect of DP was evaluated further in balb/c mice by the Dox-induced cardiotoxicity model. Non-invasive techniques like high-frequency ultrasonography and electrocardiogram revealed that the mice pre-treated with DP had improved cardiac functionality (left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume) and normalized the electrocardiograms compared to the Dox control group. Further, biochemical analysis with the cardiac tissues revealed that the cytoprotective proteins like HO-1, SOD-2, and Nrf-2 were elevated in the DP treated groups compared to the Dox control group. Overall, our results suggested that the bioactive extract/fractions of DP helped alleviate the Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. LC-QTOF-ESI-MS analysis of DP and F1 indicated that polyphenolic anti-oxidant compounds like gallic acid, syringic acid, and sinapic acid could be responsible for the potent -cardioprotective effect. Future understanding of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic parameters can help translate from the bench to the bedside.

Aim. To study the prognostic value of the results of dynamic capnography in the complex assessment of parameters of the respiratory system in 6-minute walk test in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Materials and Methods. 73 Patients were examined: the group of study included 48 patients with IIA or IIB stage CHF (mean age 57.94.6 years, 23 men), the control group included 25 practically healthy volunteers (mean age 47.63.5 years, 9 men). The patients were conducted complex determination of parameters of the respiratory system: clinical scaling before and after 6-minute walk test (6MWT), instrumental examinations including spirometry, capnography and pulse oximetry before, during and after physical activity. The analysis of survival was conducted on the basis of the dynamic follow-up of patients within 5 years (60 months). Results. In the analysis of parameters of dyspnea at rest, all the parameters were higher in the group of patients with CHF (р0.05). The distance walked by the patients with CHF in 6 minutes was 488.2390.84 m, which was significantly less than in the control group (815.6053.89 m, р=0.009). Dyspnea as the cause of stoppage/slowing down of walking in 6MWT, was also more often recorded in patients with CHF (93.83.0% and 48.05.1%, р=0.049). Besides, in 6MWT the patients noted: weakness in legs (50.15.0% in the group of CHF and 40.05.0% in the control group, р=0.014), palpitation (29.04.6% and 20.04.1%, respectively, р=0.004). Worsening of dyspnea parameters in 6MWT was more evident in patients with CHF than in the control group (р0.01). In the CHF group, hypocapnic type of ventilation was revealed in 6MWT, analysis of РЕТСО2 trend graphs revealed a wave-like increase in the parameters, the so called periodic breathing (PB). CO2 trend was recorded in CHF group in 58.31.0% of cases (the difference with the control group with р=0.046), the trend of heart rate in 18.80.3% of cases (р=0.027). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis of mortality in patients with CHF showed a prognostic significance of a complex model comprising the following parameters of a patient: body mass index (р=0.005), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (р=0.034), left ventricular end-systolic dimension (р=0.002), left ventricular ejection fraction (р=0.041), 6MWT distance (р=0.004), desaturation (р=0.009), and the presence of signs of PB during 6MWT (р=0.005). Model coefficients were statistically significant at р0.0001. Conclusions. Dynamic capnography and pulse oximetry allow to identify signs of PB in patients with CHF during 6MWT which may deepen a complex assessment of parameters of the cardio-respiratory system in patients with CHF in order to determine tolerance to physical exercise as well as the effectiveness of the conducted treatment. Complex assessment of survival of patients with CHF showed prognostic significance of the following parameters of a patient: body mass index, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, left ventricular end-systolic dimension, left ventricular ejection fraction, 6MWT distance, desaturation, PB during 6MWT.

Objective: In Vietnam, obesity is increasing particularly in many large cities. Adult cardiovascular diseases are often derived from cardiovascular disorders during the children period. The implementation of early measures to prevent atherosclerosis, such as weight control, better lipid control will reduce the cardiovascular complications, such as hypertension (HTA), coronary heart diseases and some other diseases. Materials and Methods: Overweight - obese children from 5 to 15 years old who visited the Children's Hospital in Can Tho from May 2009 to May 2010. Total number of patients were chosen as 50 children. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional. Children in the study underwent Doppler ultrasound exam to evaluate cardiac morphology and cardiac function. Results: There were increases in left ventricular systolic diameter, left ventricular diastolic diameter, LV mass in overweight-obese children in the study compared with controls at all ages (p <0.05 ). Left ventricular ejection fraction in overweight-obese children in the study was lower than the control group at all ages (p> 0.05). The average rate of left ventricular shortening of overweight-obese children in the study was 34.8 ± 4.5(%). There was no difference in the rate of shortening of the left ventricle in overweight-obese children in the study compared with controls (p>0.05). There was no relationship between variation in morphology and left ventricular function with the degree of overweight-obesity in this study. Conclusion: The study showed that disturbances in morphology and left ventricular function in overweight-obese children but did not find a strong association with the disorder degree of overweight-obesity.

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has seen the introduction of important public health measures to minimise the spread of the virus. We aim to identify the impact government restrictions and hospital-based infection control procedures on ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) care during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsPatients meeting ST elevation criteria and undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention from 27 March 2020, the day initial national lockdown measures were announced in Ireland, were included in the study. Patients presenting after the lockdown period, from 18 May to 31 June 2020, were also examined. Time from symptom onset to first medical contact (FMC), transfer time and time of wire cross was noted. Additionally, patient characteristics, left ventricular ejection fraction, mortality and biochemical parameters were documented. Outcomes and characteristics were compared against a control group of patients meeting ST elevation criteria during the month of January.ResultsA total of 42 patients presented with STEMI during the lockdown period. A significant increase in total ischaemic time (TIT) was noted versus controls (8.81 hours (±16.4) vs 2.99 hours (±1.39), p=0.03), with increases driven largely by delays in seeking FMC (7.13 hours (±16.4) vs 1.98 hours (±1.46), p=0.049). TIT remained significantly elevated during the postlockdown period (6.1 hours (±5.3), p=0.05), however, an improvement in patient delays was seen versus the control group (3.99 hours (±4.5), p=0.06). There was no difference seen in transfer times and door to wire cross time during lockdown, however, a significant increase in transfer times was seen postlockdown versus controls (1.81 hours (±1.0) vs 1.1 hours (±0.87), p=0.004).ConclusionA significant increase in TIT was seen during the lockdown period driven mainly by patient factors highlighting the significance of public health messages on public perception. Additionally, a significant delay in transfer times to our centre was seen postlockdown.

Galectin-3 (G3) is a biomarker known as an inflammatory state exponent. The aim of this paper was to analyze the G3 in adolescents with ventricular arrhythmia (VES) in order to evaluate its impact on myocardial tissue preservation. The study group (SG) consisted of 25 VES adolescents. The control group (CG) was 21 healthy children. G3 was assessed in the SG and CG. In the SG electrocardiography, Holter monitoring, echocardiography and CMR were performed. The G3 in SG was 13.45 ± 11.4 ng/mL and in CG 7.2 ± 2.0 ng/mL, p < 0.001. Moderate positive correlation between the G3 and z-score of the left ventricular diameter (r = 0.47, p = 0.041) and moderate negative correlation between the G3 and the left ventricular ejection fraction in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR EF) (−0.49, p = 0.032) were found. According to the multiple linear regression analysis, CMR EF and VES were independent predictors for G3 elevation. Conclusion: Galectin-3 plasma concentration is elevated and correlates with the chosen left ventricular dysfunction parameters in adolescents suffering from ventricular arrhythmia. Further investigation is necessary to establish if elevated G3 is a useful biomarker for screening young individuals with ventricular arrhythmia who are at risk of structural cardiovascular pathology.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate whether ultrasound (US) and microbubble-mediated delivery of Cluster of Differentiation 151 (CD151) could enhance the therapeutic effects of CD151 on myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: A rabbit model of MI was established by a modified Fujita method. Then, 50 MI rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups, including G1 (CD151 plasmid and physiological saline in the presence of US); G2 (CD151 and Sonovue in the presence of US); G3 (CD151 and Sonovue in the absence of US); G4 (Sonovue in the absence of US), and a control group (physiological saline in the absence of US). After 14 days of treatment, the expression of CD151 was detected by Western blot. Besides, vessel density of peri-infarcted myocardium was measured by immunohistochemistry, and cardiac function was analyzed by echocardiography. Results: The rabbit model of MI was established successfully. CD151 injection increased the expression of CD151 and microvessel density in the myocardium of MI rabbits. Heart function was significantly improved by CD151, which exhibited increased left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular fractional shortening and a reduced Tei index. Besides, US Sonovue significantly increased the expression efficiency of CD151. Conclusion: US microbubble was an effective vector for CD151 delivery. CD151 might be an effective therapeutic target for MI.

Aims The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether yoga training in addition to standard medical therapy can improve cardiac function and reduce N terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT pro BNP) in heart failure (HF). Methods 130 patients were recruited and randomized into two groups: Control Group (CG) ( n = 65), Yoga Group (YG). In YG, 44 patients and in CG, 48 patients completed the study. Cardiac function using left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), myocardial performance index (Tei index), and NT pro BNP, a biomarker of HF, was assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks. Result Improvement in LVEF, Tei index, and NT pro BNP were statistically significant in both the groups. Furthermore, when the changes in before and after 12 weeks were in percentage, LVEF increased 36.88% in the YG and 16.9% in the CG, Tei index was reduced 27.87% in the YG and 2.79% in the CG, NT pro BNP was reduced 63.75% in the YG and 10.77% in the CG. The between group comparisons from pre to post 12 weeks were significant for YG improvements (LVEF, P < 0.01, Tei index, P < 0.01, NT pro BNP, P < 0.01). Conclusion These results indicate that the addition of yoga therapy to standard medical therapy for HF patients has a markedly better effect on cardiac function and reduced myocardial stress measured using NT pro BNP in patients with stable HF.

Background: The concept of ventricular-arterial coupling implies that LV-function is determined by the three factors left ventricular diastolic, left ventricular systolic and arterial elastance. We have previously documented an improvement in endothelial function and systolic LV-function in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) after 6 months of exercise training (ET). It remains, however, unclear, how shorter ET periods may affect endothelial, systolic and diastolic ventricular function as echocardiographic parameters related to ventricular arterial coupling in patients with CHF. METHODS: In this ongoing study we randomised 43 patients with stable CHF (age 60.3 ± 2.9 years, EF 27.4 ± 1.7%, VO 2 max 14.7 ± 4.3ml/kg*min) to a training or a control group (C). Patients in the training group exercised 4 times daily at 70% of the individual heart rate reserve for 4 weeks under supervision. At baseline and after 4 weeks the E/A ratio and septal/lateral E’/A’ velocities were determined by echocardiography with tissue Doppler. Exercise capacity was measured by ergospirometry and flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) was assessed by high-resolution radial ultrasound. RESULTS: After only 4 weeks of ET oxygen uptake at peak exercise increased from 14.9 ± 3.3 to 18.1 ± 4.7 ml/min/kg, (p<0.01 vs. C) in training subjects. Left ventricular ejection fraction improved from 26.8 ± 4.6 to 33.1 ± 5.5% (p<0.05 vs. C) in patients of the training group while it remained unchanged in the control group. E/A-ratio mended from 0.63 ± 0.12 to 0.81 ± 0.22 (p<0.01 vs. C) in training patients. Septal E’ velocities increased from 5.5 ± 0.5 to 7.8 ± 1.4 cm/s in training patients (p<0.05 vs. C). FMD of the radial artery improved from 8.2 ± 2.1 to 15.2 ± 3.8% (p<0.01 vs. C) as a result of ET. CONCLUSIONS: Only 4 weeks of endurance training are highly effective with significantly improved FMD accompanied by an emended systolic and diastolic LV-function. We hypothesise that the improvement in LV-EF in training patients may be caused by a corrected ventricular-arterial coupling: ventricular diastolic relaxation and effective endothelial function are ameliorated resulting in an augmentation of stroke volume.

Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs), a naturally heterogeneous mixture of cell sub-populations, were grown from percutaneous endomyocardial adult human biopsy specimens (n=6). c-Kit + and CD90 + CDCs were selected using magnetic-activated cell sorting with excellent purity as determined by flow cytometry. Immunostaining revealed that ~30% of c-Kit + CDCs expressed Nkx2.5, ~100% of CD90 + CDCs expressed procollagen type I, and ~100% of both sub-populations expressed CD105. When placed in co-culture with neonatal myocytes and fibroblasts, c-Kit + CDCs expressed cardiac troponin I, while CD90 + CDCs expressed vimentin. In order to assess the therapeutic potential of purified CDCs, acute myocardial infarcts (MIs) were created in immunodeficient mice and c-Kit + (n=16), CD90 + (n=14), or CD105 + (n=3) CDCs were injected into the border zone. Echocardiograms were performed 3 weeks post-MI to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). CD105-injected mice were comparable to an historical control group of mixed CDC-injected mice (LVEF = 41.3±2.9% CD105 vs. 42.8±10.4% CDC [n=11], p=0.60), indicating that the sorting process did not itself impair the therapeutic potential of CDCs. c-Kit- and CD90-injected mice were indistinguishable from one another (LVEF=31.7±8.2% c-Kit vs. 32.1±11.8% CD90, p=0.92), and both groups were significantly outperformed by the CD105-injected mice (p=0.01 and p=0.03, respectively). All groups were then compared to two other historical control groups, mice treated with normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs [n=7]) and mice treated with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS [n=11]). c-Kit-injected mice did significantly outperform both NHDF- (p=0.04) and PBS-injected mice (p=0.03), while more variability in the CD90-injected group resulted in nearly significant comparisons with the NHDF (p=0.08) and PBS groups (p=0.08). While the therapeutic mechanisms of action of these two distinct sub-populations are undoubtedly different, both offer similar global functional benefits in the setting of acute MI. We conclude that the spontaneously-emerging unselected CDC population serves as a therapeutic cell cocktail, and that no functional advantage is conferred by the extra step of sorting for c-Kit + or CD90 + sub-populations.

Background: Clopidogrel (C) and Ticagrelor (T) are P2Y12 ADP receptor antagonists. In addition, ticagrelor inhibits adenosine cell uptake. In PLATO trial T reduced the incidence of the primary composite endpoint myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death over C in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Previous data show that 7d pretreatment with T limits infarct size (IS) in rats. We compared the effects of C and T, administered just before reperfusion on IS. We also assessed the effect of T and C, administered just before reperfusion and/or 6w oral treatment on cardiac remodeling. Methods: Rats underwent 30min coronary artery ligation. 1) At 25min of ischemia rats received intraperitoneal (IP) vehicle, T (10 or 30mg/kg), or C (12.5mg/kg). Area at risk (AR) was assessed by blue dye and IS by TTC staining 24h after reperfusion. 2) Rats received vehicle without (sham) or with (control) coronary ischemia, T (30mg/kg) IP (TIP), T (300mg/kg/d) oral for 6w, started a day after reperfusion (TPO), TIP+PO (TIPPO), or C (12.5mg/kg IP +62.5mg/kg/d PO for 6w). LV dimensions and function was assessed by echo at 6w. Results: 1) AR was comparable among groups. IS was 45.3±1.7% of the AR in the control group. T10 (31.5±1.8%; p=0.001) and T30 (21.4±2.6% p<0.001) significantly reduced IS, whereas C (42.4±2.6%) had no effect. Platelet aggregation in the controls was 64.7±1.3% and was comparable in T30 (24.9±1.8%) and C (23.2±1.8%) at 2h post reperfusion. T30 increased Akt, eNOS and ER1/2 phosphorylation 4h after reperfusion, whereas C had no effect. 2) Platelet aggregation at 1w oral treatment was 59.7±3.2% in the control group and was comparable in TIPPO (18.1±1.3%) and C (17.4±0.7%). Left ventricular ejection fraction was 77.6±0.9%*, 44.8±3.5%, 69.5±1.6%*, 69.2±1.0%*, 76.3±1.2%*, and 37.4±3.7% in the sham, vehicle, TIP, TPO, TIPPO and C treated group, respectively (*p<0.001 vs. vehicle). Left ventricular diameters at diastole and systole showed the same pattern. Conclusions: T, but not C, administered just before reperfusion protects against reperfusion injury. Oral T (in combination or not with acute treatment just before reperfusion) treatment for 6w improves heart function. C, despite achieving similar degree of platelet inhibition had no effect on remodeling.

Aim. To develop a mathematical equation (algorithm) to predict the development of chronic heart failure (CHF) for three years, depending on the clinical phenotype.Material and methods. Three hundred forty five patients with CHF with a different left ventricular ejection fraction (preserved, mean, low) were examined. The control group included somatically healthy individuals (n=60). In all patients, 48 parameters that most widely characterize the pathogenesis of CHF (gender-anamnestic, clinical, instrumental, biochemical) were analyzed. To isolate phenotypes, dispersive and cluster analysis was used: the hierarchical classification method and the k-means method. In the development of algorithms we used binary logistic regression method. We used ROC curve to assess the quality of the obtained algorithms.Results. We identified four phenotypes in patients with CHF: fibro-rigid, fibro-inflammatory, inflammatory-destructive, dilated-maladaptive. For the first three phenotypes, a mathematical logistic regression method was used to develop mathematical models for predicting the progression of CHF for three years, with the release of predictors for each phenotype. Belonging to the dilatedmaladaptive phenotype according to the results of the analysis is already an indicator of an unfavorable prognosis in patients with CHF.Conclusion. The developed algorithms based on the selected phenotypes have high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity and can be recommended for use in clinical practice.
