Abstract: Abstract We sought to assess cardiac magnetic resonance derived left ventricular hemodynamic forces (HDF) in athletes compared to patients with hypertension. Sixty athletes and 48 hypertensive patients were studied. HDF were measured during the entire cardiac cycle, the systolic phase, suction, early LV filling, and atrial thrust. Statistical comparisons were made between athletes and hypertensive patients, and between endurance and strength athletes. The slope of the systolic ejection was higher in athletes compared to hypertensive patients (541.5 vs. 435 1/sec; p = 0.033). Athletes showed higher HDF during the first phase of systole (4.53 vs. 3.86; p = 0.047) and the systolic impulse (11.26 vs. 8.76; p = 0.045). Compared to hypertensive patients, the AUC of the elastic rebound in athletes was lower (-0.31 vs. -0.44; p = 0.011). Moreover, hypertensive patients had an abnormal suction as revealed by a divergent direction (apex-to-base) of the HDF. The atrial thrust was higher in hypertensive patients than in athletes (-0.31 vs. -0.05; p

Abstract: Diseases of the middle ear and the temporal bone pyramid remain one of the most common diseases in the structure of otorhinolaryngological pathologies, which have a significant impact on the quality of life of adults and children. Exudative processes, as well as their consequences, become one of the main causes of persistent hearing loss and are characterized by an asymptomatic course with a gradual evolution to chronic forms. It should be noted that in childhood the risk of impaired speech and intellectual development increases, leading to changes in the psycho-emotional status, social maladaptation of the child, and a decrease in the quality of life. Timely and complete diagnosis and high-quality follow-up takes a leading role in preventing the development of conductive hearing loss and other complicated pathologies of the temporal bone pyramid. Purpose of the study. To study the main predisposing factors, methods of radiological diagnosis and dynamic observation of patients, as well as some modern aspects of the treatment of the most common pathologies of the temporal bone pyramid. Methodology. We conducted an analytical review of open access sources from scientific databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, DisserCat, CyberLeninka. Key words used for the search: “chronic otitis media”, “cholesteatoma”, “mastoiditis”, “complications”, “magnetic resonance imaging”, “DWI”, “computed tomography”. Publications included in the literature review were full-text articles in English and Russian and dissertations in Russian. Exclusion criteria: brief reports, newspaper articles and personal communications. The search range was 5 years (2018-2023). A total of 108 sources were analyzed, of which 50 met the research objectives and inclusion criteria. Results and conclusions. In the diagnosis of temporal bone pathologies, the gold standard for diagnosis is computed tomography, but non-ionizing research techniques are increasingly used. Indications for the use of magnetic resonance imaging of the temporal bones are constantly expanding, and techniques for merging data with computed tomography data are being increasingly introduced. As a follow-up tool, magnetic resonance therapy is increasingly becoming a priority technique to reduce patient radiation exposure in the long term. In the treatment of complicated forms of diseases, endoscopic and laser correction techniques are used in foreign practice, helping to reduce the risk of recurrence and postoperative complications.

3. Cardiac imaging in athlete’s heart: current status and future prospects

Author: Nurmakhan Zholshybek, Zaukiya Khamitova, Bauyrzhan Toktarbay, Dinara Jumadilova, Nail Khissamutdinov, Tairkhan Dautov, Yeltay Rakhmanov, Makhabbat Bekbossynova, Abduzhappar Gaipov, and Alessandro Salustri
Subjects: Athlete’s heart, Sports cardiology, Cardiac imaging, Hemodynamic forces, Diseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) system, RC666-701
Abstract: Abstract Background Physical activity contributes to changes in cardiac morphology, which are known as “athlete’s heart”. Therefore, these modifications can be characterized using different imaging modalities such as echocardiography, including Doppler (flow Doppler and Doppler myocardial imaging) and speckle-tracking, along with cardiac magnetic resonance, and cardiac computed tomography. Main text Echocardiography is the most common method for assessing cardiac structure and function in athletes due to its availability, repeatability, versatility, and low cost. It allows the measurement of parameters like left ventricular wall thickness, cavity dimensions, and mass. Left ventricular myocardial strain can be measured by tissue Doppler (using the pulse wave Doppler principle) or speckle tracking echocardiography (using the two-dimensional grayscale B-mode images), which provide information on the deformation of the myocardium. Cardiac magnetic resonance provides a comprehensive evaluation of cardiac morphology and function with superior accuracy compared to echocardiography. With the addition of contrast agents, myocardial state can be characterized. Thus, it is particularly effective in differentiating an athlete’s heart from pathological conditions, however, is less accessible and more expensive compared to other techniques. Coronary computed tomography is used to assess coronary artery anatomy and identify anomalies or diseases, but its use is limited due to radiation exposure and cost, making it less suitable for young athletes. A novel approach, hemodynamic forces analysis, uses feature tracking to quantify intraventricular pressure gradients responsible for blood flow. Hemodynamic forces analysis has the potential for studying blood flow within the heart and assessing cardiac function. Conclusions In conclusion, each diagnostic technique has its own advantages and limitations for assessing cardiac adaptations in athletes. Examining and comparing the cardiac adaptations resulting from physical activity with the structural cardiac changes identified through different diagnostic modalities is a pivotal focus in the field of sports medicine.

4. CT-criteria for left atrium appendage thrombus detection

Author: Bauyrzhan Kaliyev, Raushan Rakhimzhanova, Tairkhan Dautov, Lyazzat Bastarbekova, Zhanar Moldakhanova, Azhar Kabdullina, and Ayan Abdrakhmanov
Subjects: left atrium appendage thrombus, cardiac computed tomography, atrial fibrillation, cardioembolic stroke, transesophageal echocardiography, Internal medicine, RC31-1245, Specialties of internal medicine, RC581-951
Abstract: Objective: Atrial fibrillation is strongly associated with stroke and accounts for 60% of cardioembolic stroke. Assessing thromboembolic risk is important for patients with atrial fibrillation. Approximately 90% of all thrombus are localized in the left atrium appendage (LAA). This study aimed to determine the efficacy of cardiac computed tomography (CT) for LAA thrombus detection. Material and methods: This retrospective study included 292 patients. LAA thrombus was confirmed or excluded by cardiac CT with the reference to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). We excluded patients with allergic reactions to iodide, increased creatinine levels, thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism), pregnancy, and age Results: According to the cardiac CT, 103 of 292 people had LAA thrombus, while according to TEE, only 48 of patients had LAA thrombus. The sensitivity and specificity of CT were 97.7% and 77%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the CT was higher in 2016–2020, when the delayed phase was added to the standard protocol, compared to 2012–2015 years. Older age, higher BMI, higher CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores, and larger LA and LVESV were significantly associated with LAA thrombus detection on cardiac CT. Higher LVESV and LVEDV indexes (LVESVI and LVEDVI) and lower LV ejection fraction measured by TEE were also predictors of LAA thrombus detection by cardiac CT. Conclusion: Our findings show that cardiac CT has high sensitivity and specificity for excluding or confirming LAA thrombus, and can also be exclusively used to determine the presence or absence of a thrombus.

Abstract: Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly affected management of cardiovascular disease around the world. The effect of the pandemic on volume of cardiovascular diagnostic procedures is not known. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the effects of the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular diagnostic procedures and safety practices in Asia. Methods: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey to assess changes in cardiovascular procedure volume and safety practices caused by COVID-19. Testing volumes were reported for March 2020 and April 2020 and were compared to those from March 2019. Data from 180 centers across 33 Asian countries were grouped into 4 subregions for comparison. Results: Procedure volumes decreased by 47% from March 2019 to March 2020, showing recovery from March 2020 to April 2020 in Eastern Asia, particularly in China. The majority of centers cancelled outpatient activities and increased time per study. Practice changes included implementing physical distancing and restricting visitors. Although COVID testing was not commonly performed, it was conducted in one-third of facilities in Eastern Asia. The most severe reductions in procedure volumes were observed in lower-income countries, where volumes decreased 81% from March 2019 to April 2020. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic in Asia caused significant reductions in cardiovascular diagnostic procedures, particularly in low-income countries. Further studies on effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular outcomes and changes in care delivery are warranted.

Abstract: BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected diagnosis and treatment of noncommunicable diseases. Its effects on delivery of diagnostic care for cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death worldwide, have not been quantified. OBJECTIVES The study sought to assess COVID-19`s impact on global cardiovascular diagnostic procedural volumes and safety practices. METHODS The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations in cardiovascular procedure volumes and safety practices resulting from COVID-19. Noninvasive and invasive cardiac testing volumes were obtained from participating sites for March and April 2020 and compared with those from March 2019. Availability of personal protective equipment and pandemic-related testing practice changes were ascertained. RESULTS Surveys were submitted from 909 inpatient and outpatient centers performing cardiac diagnostic procedures, in 108 countries. Procedure volumes decreased 42% from March 2019 to March 2020, and 64% from March 2019 to April 2020. Transthoradc echocardiography decreased by 59%, transesophageat echocardiography 76%, and stress tests 78%, which varied between stress modalities. Coronary angiography (invasive or computed tomography) decreased 55% (p < 0.001 for each procedure). hi multivariable regression, significantly greater reduction in procedures occurred for centers in countries with lower gross domestic product. Location in a low-income and lower-middle-income country was associated with an additional 22% reduction in cardiac procedures and less availability of personal protective equipment and teteheatth. CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 was associated with a significant and abrupt reduction in cardiovascular diagnostic testing across the globe, especially affecting the world's economically challenged. Further study of cardiovascular outcomes and COVID-19-related changes in care delivery is warranted. (C) 2021 The Authors.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The extent to which health care systems have adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic to provide necessary cardiac diagnostic services is unknown.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of the pandemic on cardiac testing practices, volumes and types of diagnostic services, and perceived psychological stress to health care providers worldwide.METHODS: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations from baseline in cardiovascular diagnostic care at the pandemic's onset and 1 year later. Multivariable regression was used to determine factors associated with procedure volume recovery.RESULTS: Surveys were submitted from 669 centers in 107 countries. Worldwide reduction in cardiac procedure volumes of 64% from March 2019 to April 2020 recovered by April 2021 in high- and upper middle-income countries (recovery rates of 108% and 99%) but remained depressed in lower middle- and low-income countries (46% and 30% recovery). Although stress testing was used 12% less frequently in 2021 than in 2019, coronary computed tomographic angiography was used 14% more, a trend also seen for other advanced cardiac imaging modalities (positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance; 22%-25% increases). Pandemic-related psychological stress was estimated to have affected nearly 40% of staff, impacting patient care at 78% of sites. In multivariable regression, only lower-income status and physicians' psychological stress were significant in predicting recovery of cardiac testing.CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac diagnostic testing has yet to recover to prepandemic levels in lower-income countries. Worldwide, the decrease in standard stress testing is offset by greater use of advanced cardiac imaging modalities. Pandemic-related psychological stress among providers is widespread and associated with poor recovery of cardiac testing.

8. EMBOLIZATION OF THE INTERNAL ILIAC ARTERY USING LIQUID EMBOLYZING SYSTEMS

Author: Vladimir Openko, Saken Kozhakhmetov, and Tairkhan Dautov
Abstract: Among the complications of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair the most common are the so–called endoleaks - the preservation of blood flow inside an isolated aneurysmal sac. This complication occurs in almost every fourth patient and is the main cause of reinterventions, which makes the late development of this complication one of the urgent problems under discussions. The report presents a clinical case of treatment of a patient with an aneurysm of the infrarenal abdominal aorta with its spread to the common iliac artery using the technique of preventive embolization of the internal iliac artery with application of a liquid tantalum-containing ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer. All stages of the operation were performed in the catheterization laboratory using a stationary angiographic system. The embolizing material was introduced after implantation of the stent-graft into the target position, through a microcatheter pre-installed at the ostium of the embolizing internal iliac artery. The introduction of a tantalum-containing ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer after the installation of the stentgraft, under conditions of significant reduction of arterial antegrade blood flow in the lumen of the internal iliac artery, allowed to create a reliable occlusion of the ostium segment of the artery, reduced the risk of migration of embolizing substance into the distal arterial bed.

Abstract: Background: In early 2020, COVID-19 massively hit Italy, earlier and harder than any other European country. This caused a series of strict containment measures, aimed at blocking the spread of the pandemic. Healthcare delivery was also affected when resources were diverted towards care of COVID-19 patients, including intensive care wards. Aim of the study: The aim is assessing the impact of COVID-19 on cardiac imaging in Italy, compare to the Rest of Europe (RoE) and the World (RoW). Methods: A global survey was conducted in May–June 2020 worldwide, through a questionnaire distributed online. The survey covered three periods: March and April 2020, and March 2019. Data from 52 Italian centres, a subset of the 909 participating centres from 108 countries, were analyzed. Results: In Italy, volumes decreased by 67% in March 2020, compared to March 2019, as opposed to a significantly lower decrease (p < 0.001) in RoE and RoW (41% and 40%, respectively). A further decrease from March 2020 to April 2020 summed up to 76% for the North, 77% for the Centre and 86% for the South. When compared to the RoE and RoW, this further decrease from March 2020 to April 2020 in Italy was significantly less (p = 0.005), most likely reflecting the earlier effects of the containment measures in Italy, taken earlier than anywhere else in the West. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic massively hit Italy and caused a disruption of healthcare services, including cardiac imaging studies. This raises concern about the medium- and long-term consequences for the high number of patients who were denied timely diagnoses and the subsequent lifesaving therapies and procedures.

Abstract: Background: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic significantly affected management of cardiovascular disease around the world. The effect of the pandemic on volume of cardiovascular diagnostic procedures is not known. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the effects of the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular diagnostic procedures and safety practices in Asia. Methods: The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey to assess changes in cardiovascular procedure volume and safety practices caused by COVID-19. Testing volumes were reported for March 2020 and April 2020 and were compared to those from March 2019. Data from 180 centers across 33 Asian countries were grouped into 4 subregions for comparison. Results: Procedure volumes decreased by 47% from March 2019 to March 2020, showing recovery from March 2020 to April 2020 in Eastern Asia, particularly in China. The majority of centers cancelled outpatient activities and increased time per study. Practice changes included implementing physical distancing and restricting visitors. Although COVID testing was not commonly performed, it was conducted in one-third of facilities in Eastern Asia. The most severe reductions in procedure volumes were observed in lower-income countries, where volumes decreased 81% from March 2019 to April 2020. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic in Asia caused significant reductions in cardiovascular diagnostic procedures, particularly in low-income countries. Further studies on effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular outcomes and changes in care delivery are warranted.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The INCAPS COVID Oceania study aimed to assess the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiac procedure volume provided in the Oceania region. METHODS: A retrospective survey was performed comparing procedure volumes within March 2019 (pre-COVID-19) with April 2020 (during first wave of COVID-19 pandemic). Sixty-three (63) health care facilities within Oceania that perform cardiac diagnostic procedures were surveyed, including a mixture of metropolitan and regional, hospital and outpatient, public and private sites, and 846 facilities outside of Oceania. The percentage change in procedure volume was measured between March 2019 and April 2020, compared by test type and by facility. RESULTS: In Oceania, the total cardiac diagnostic procedure volume was reduced by 52.2% from March 2019 to April 2020, compared to a reduction of 75.9% seen in the rest of the world (p
