Cardiorespiratory Response to Six-Minute Step Test in Post COVID-19 Patients-A Cross Sectional Study

Amna Omar, Arthur de Sa Ferreira, Fatma A. Hegazy, Gopala Krishna Alaparthi

Summary: This study investigates the cardiorespiratory response induced by the six-minute step test (6MST) in post-COVID-19 patients and compares it with the response of the six-minute walk test (6MWT). The results show that post-COVID-19 patients performed worse than the healthy group in both tests. Therefore, the 6MST can be used as an assessment tool for COVID-19 patients to evaluate their functional capacity and activities of daily living (ADL).

Independent predictors and equation of six-minute walk test in post-cardiac surgery

Jaruwat Bumrungkittikul, Wilawan Thirapatarapong

Summary: This study aimed to identify the factors independently associated with the six-minute walk test (6MWT) at the 4-6-week follow-up after cardiac surgery and develop an equation to predict the 6MWT during this period. Retrospective analysis of patient data showed that 6MWT at discharge was correlated with 6MWT at the 4-6-week follow-up, as well as regular exercise, age, gender, and preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. An equation was generated based on these factors to predict 6MWT at 4-6 weeks after hospital discharge.

Favorable Atrial Remodeling After Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation and Its Association With Changes in Exercise Capacity and Right Ventricular Function

Heiner Latus, Danik Born, Nerejda Shehu, Heiko Stern, Alfred Hager, Stainimir Georgiev, Daniel Tanase, Christian Meierhofer, Peter Ewert, Andreas Eicken, Oktay Tutarel

Summary: Impaired right atrial emptying in patients with right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction is associated with increased right ventricular filling pressures and lower exercise capacity. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation leads to a reduction in right atrial size and improved passive right atrial emptying function, but right atrial function is not associated with improved exercise performance and right ventricular pump function.

Longitudinal analysis of systemic ventricular function and atrioventricular valve function after the Fontan procedure

Vincent Dahmen, Paul Philipp Heinisch, Helena Staehler, Thibault Schaeffer, Melchior Burri, Christoph Roehlig, Frank Klawonn, Alfred Hager, Peter Ewert, Juergen Hoerer, Masamichi Ono

Summary: This study aimed to determine the longitudinal change of systemic ventricular function and atrioventricular valve (AVV) regurgitation after total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC). In a retrospective evaluation of 4219 longitudinal echocardiographic examinations, it was found that there were no transplant-free survival difference and no difference in ventricular function between dominant right ventricle (RV) and dominant left ventricle (LV) for the first 10 years after TCPC. However, ventricular function in dominant RV was inferior to that in dominant LV thereafter, and AVV regurgitation was more frequent in dominant RV, positively associated with ventricular dysfunction.

Aortopulmonary collaterals in single ventricle: incidence, associated factors and clinical significance

Melvin Schmiel, Takashi Kido, Stanimir Georgiev, Melchior Burri, Paul Philipp Heinisch, Janez Vodiskar, Martina Strbad, Peter Ewert, Alfred Hager, Juergen Hoerer, Masamichi Ono

Summary: The incidence and associated factors of aortopulmonary collaterals (APCs) in patients with univentricular heart undergoing staged palliation were examined in this study. The presence of APCs before Glenn shunt was highly associated with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, while lower Nakata-Index and younger age at Glenn shunt were associated with the development of APCs before Fontan procedure. However, the presence of APCs or intervention for APCs did not affect intensive care unit stay or mortality after total cavopulmonary connection.
