The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) provides integrative exercise responses including the cardiovascular, pulmonary and skeletal muscle systems. It can be used for the identification of myocardial ischemia, evaluation of exercise capacity and tolerance, and the assessment of chronotropic competence or arrhythmias with the addition of ventilatory and gas exchange measurement information. Among them, hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) is known to be related with higher risk of future heart failure and cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension. Proposed underlying mechanisms of HRE can be found in ventricular-vascular uncoupling including decreased aortic distensibility, increased left ventricular mass, endothelial dysfunction, and diastolic dysfunction. The CPET might be useful in the identification of masked hypertension and the assessment of antihypertensive treatment efficacy in patients with hypertension.

Background: Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the urinary bladder is very rare variety of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) with a prominent component of spindle-shaped cell. The incidence rate of this tumor is 0.5 % of all…
Measuring arterial blood gas is routinely performed in critically ill patients, and may unravel severe life-threatening acid-base disorders or hypoxemia. It provides the vital information about ventilation, oxygenation…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is more efficient to handily assess arteriosclerosis than aortic PWV. The…
Background: Persistent elevation of serum ALP is frequently encountered and can pose a diagnostic dilemma due to its association with a wide range of clinical conditions. However, the significance of ALP in these…
BACKGROUND: The consumption of chocolate and cocoa has established cardiovascular benefits. Less is known about the effects of chocolate on arterial stiffness, a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease. The aim of…
BACKGROUND: Longitudinal studies have demonstrated that the risk of cardiovascular disease increases with pulse pressure (PP). However, PP remains an elusive cardiovascular risk factor with findings being inconsistent…
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) raises cardiovascular risk, but its link with the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify…

Introduction: The pulse wave analysis technology in the specialist SphygmoCor XCEL device has now been implemented in the CONNEQT Pulse device, which is a conventional sphygmomanometer suitable for home blood pressure…
It has been reported that coronary atherosclerosis risk assessment using coronary artery calcium and thoracic aorta calcium quantification may improve risk stratification as it can lead to the reclassification of…
