Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of asthma severity on biventricular cardiac functions using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE), and three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE).
Methods: Sixty-three children with asthma, aged between 5 and 16 years, were enrolled in the study along with 63 matched controls. All participants underwent cardiac assessments, including TDI, 2D-STE, 3D-STE, conventional echocardiography, and pulmonary function testing with spirometry.

Cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) is an important risk factor for cognitive impairment, which is a pressing health issue for the aging population worldwide. The complex relationship between vascular factors, such as blood pressure variability (BPV) and arteriosclerosis index (AI), and cognitive dysfunction in patients with CSVD is a hot research topic, and research in this area will help prevent and treat cognitive dysfunction in CSVD. This study aims to investigate the effects of diastolic BPV (DBPV) and AI on cognitive function in patients with CSVD.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, progressive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the DMD gene, resulting in the absence of dystrophin-a key structural protein at the sarcolemma. As the disease progresses, cardiac involvement becomes a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. By adolescence or early adulthood, many patients develop dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias.

Introduction: Current commercial cerebral oximeters only monitor the frontal lobes, however, some cerebrovascular territories may experience ischemia while others remain well perfused. This pilot study used a novel, high-density, dual-wavelength, time-resolved functional cerebral oximeter (Kernel Flow) with 2000 channels to assess the regional differences of cerebral oxygenation (StO2) in response to hypotension across different vascular territories during shoulder surgery in the beach chair position.
Methods: Twenty-seven adult patients were monitored, recording blood pressure, heart rate, regional cerebral oxygen saturation, and other vital parameters.

Objectives: To explore the relationships between cardiac parameters and body composition indices, identifying predictors of subclinical cardiac systolic dysfunction.
Methods: Using anthropometric and serological parameters, echocardiography, and body composition analysis, this study evaluated metabolic profiles, cardiac remodeling patterns, and body composition characteristics in young adult obese patients, while quantifying the correlations between cardiac parameters and body composition indices. Subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction was defined as global longitudinal strain (GLS) < 18%.
