HEART, LUNG & CIRCULATION - 01 Mar 2023
This position statement provides guidance to cardiologists and related specialists on the management of adult patients with elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. Elevated Lp(a) is an independent and causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). While circulating Lp(a) levels are largely determined by ancestry, they are also influenced...

EUROPACE : EUROPEAN PACING, ARRHYTHMIAS, AND CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY : JOURNAL OF THE WORKING GROUPS ON CARDIAC PACING, ARRHYTHMIAS, AND CARDIAC CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY OF THE EUROPEAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY - 16 Feb 2023
Radiofrequency (RF) ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with the risk of oesophageal thermal injury (ETI). Higher power short duration (HPSD) ablation results in preferential local resistive heating over distal conductive heating. Although HPSD has become increasingly common, no randomized study has compared ETI risk with conventional lower powe...

AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY. HEART AND CIRCULATORY PHYSIOLOGY - 01 Feb 2023
Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is an early, clinically detectable sign of cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that precedes the development of symptomatic heart failure. Preclinical models of diabetic cardiomyopathy are essential to develop therapies that may prevent or delay the progression of heart failure. This study examined the molecular, structural, and functional cardiac...

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING - 01 Feb 2023
Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is the most accurate cardiac ultrasound technique to assess cardiac structure. 3DE has shown close correlation with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in various populations. There is limited data on the accuracy of 3DE in athletes and its value in detecting alterations during follow-up. Indexed left and right ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVED...

Peter A Lazzarini; Susanna M Cramb; Jonathan Golledge; Jedidiah I Morton; Dianna J Magliano; Jaap J Van Netten
DIABETOLOGIA - 01 Feb 2023
Diabetic foot disease (DFD) is a leading cause of hospital admissions and amputations. Global trends in diabetes-related amputations have been previously reviewed, but trends in hospital admissions for multiple other DFD conditions have not. This review analysed the published incidence of hospital admissions for DFD conditions (ulceration, infection, peripheral artery disease [PAD], neuropathy)...

Riley J Batchelor; Emilia Nan Tie; Lorena Romero; Ingrid Hopper; David M Kaye
THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY - 01 Feb 2023
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class IV symptoms. Decades of discovery have heralded significant advancements in the pharmacologic management of HFrEF. However, patients with NYHA IV symptoms remain an under-represented population in almost eve...

DIABETES RESEARCH AND CLINICAL PRACTICE - 01 Feb 2023
To determine the burden and leading reasons for mental health hospitalisation among Australians with diabetes.We determined the incidence of hospitalisation for all mental health disorders in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes of all ages by linking the National Diabetes Services Scheme to hospital admission datasets from 2010 to 2017. We compared those with type 2 diabetes aged 15 and above...

Edgar M Hidalgo; Leah Wright; Mats Isaksson; Gavin Lambert; Thomas H Marwick
JACC. CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING - 01 Feb 2023
Despite advances in miniaturization and automation, the need for expert acquisition of a full echocardiogram, including Doppler, has restricted access in remote areas. Recent developments in robotics, teleoperation, and upgraded telecommunications infrastructure may provide a solution to this deficiency. Robot-assisted teleoperated ultrasound examination can aid medical diagnosis in remote loca...

HYPERTENSION (DALLAS, TEX. : 1979) - 21 Jul 2023
Survivors of allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) receive intensive cancer treatments that are associated with cardiovascular dysfunction. Markers of vascular age can indicate early signs of adverse (cardio)vascular changes; however, the impact of SCT on these makers is unknown. We aimed to determine the short (3 months) and longer-term (≥2 years) effect of SCT on markers of vascular age in he...

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY - 15 Jan 2023
Whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is effective in improving long-term survival in an Australian PCI cohort remains unclear. We aimed to examine the change in the remaining life expectancy for patients who underwent PCI over the past decade. Patient data from the Melbourne Interventional Group were divided into four 3-year periods (2005 to 2007, 2008 to 2010, 2011 to 2013, and 201...

JACC. CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING - 05 Jan 2023
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with functional impairment and cardiac events, particularly heart failure (HF). However, the factors predisposing women to low CRF and HF remain unclear.This study sought to evaluate the association between CRF and measures of ventricular size and function and to examine the potential mechanism linking these factors.A total of 185 healthy women aged...

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - 19 Dec 2023
To enhance the impact of interventions, it is important to understand how intervention engagement relates to study outcomes. We report on the level of implementation and engagement with the SMART Work & Life (SWAL) programme (delivered with (SWAL plus desk) and without a height-adjustable desk (SWAL)) and explore the effects of different levels of this on change in daily sitting time in compari...

C-Y Lin; A Shibata; K Ishii; M J Koohsari; N Hadgraft; D W Dunstan; N Owen; K Oka
OCCUPATIONAL MEDICINE (OXFORD, ENGLAND) - 16 Dec 2023
Studies have suggested that sitting time at work may lead to underperformance but they may underestimate the benefits to desk workers' performance of reducing occupational sitting time without considering the relative effects of the specific activities replaced.To estimate differences in work performance (presenteeism, absenteeism and engagement) when occupational sitting time is reallocated to...

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY - 30 Nov 2023
A cluster randomised controlled trial demonstrated the effectiveness of the SMART Work & Life (SWAL) behaviour change intervention, with and without a height-adjustable desk, for reducing sitting time in desk-based workers. Staff within organisations volunteered to be trained to facilitate delivery of the SWAL intervention and act as workplace champions. This paper presents the experiences of t...

Lisa F Stinson; Alexandra George; Zoya Gridneva; Xuehua Jin; Ching Tat Lai; Donna T Geddes
01 Dec 2023
The composition of human milk is influenced by storage and processing practices. The effects of thawing and warming practices on human milk composition remain poorly studied despite their prevalence in home, research, and donor milk bank settings. This review comprehensively examines the impact of different thawing and warming methods on nutritional and bioactive human milk components. While so...

Aowen Zhuang; Yanie Tan; Yingying Liu; Christine Yang; Helen Kiriazis; Kyah Grigolon; Shannen Walker; Simon T Bond; Julie R McMullen; Anna C Calkin; Brian G Drew
PHYSIOLOGICAL REPORTS - 01 Dec 2023
Long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play a biological and physiological role in various tissues including the heart. We and others have previously established that the lncRNA Oip5os1 (1700020I14Rik, OIP5-AS1, Cyrano) is enriched in striated muscles, and its deletion in mice leads to defects in both skeletal and cardiac muscle function. In the present study, we investigated the impact of gl...
