Abstract

Left ventricular global longitudinal systolic strain (GLS) has been shown to be superior to ejection fraction in detecting subclinical dysfunction in patients with cancer and predicting mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Cancer-related fatigue is common in the later stages of neoplastic malignancies and may be indicative of nonovert heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine whether reduced strain by echocardiography was associated with all-cause mortality in a cancer cohort. In this retrospective study, 120 patients with cancer undergoing or scheduled to undergo chemotherapy and with normal ejection fractions (>50%) underwent assessments of GLS. GLS was derived by averaging all speckle-tracking strain segments of the left ventricle. Over an average follow-up period of 21.6 ± 13.9 months, 57 of 120 patients died. Univariate predictors of all-cause mortality (P < .10) were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, male sex, hematologic malignancy, β-blocker use, and GLS. Multivariate analysis of all significant univariate variables showed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (hazard ratio, 2.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.54-2.92; P < .001), male sex (hazard ratio, 1....Continue Reading

Cachexia & Brown Fat

Cachexia is a condition associated with progressive weight loss due to severe illness. In cancer patients, it is proposed to occur as a result of tumor-induced energy wasting. Several proteins have been implicated in browning and depletion of white adipose tissue. Here is the latest research on cachexia and brown fat.

Cardiac Cachexia

Cardiac cachexia is a syndrome associated with the progressive loss of muscle and fat mass. It most commonly affects patients with heart failure and can significantly decrease the quality of life and survival in these patients. Here is the latest research on cardiac cachexia.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
