22nd International Congress of the Polish Cardiac Society

Abstract

The proceedings contain 126 papers. The topics discussed include: effect of antiplatelet P2Y12 receptor blockers on angiogenic properties of vascular endothelial cells in vitro conditions; the effect of maltose‐modified 4th generation of poly(propylene imine) dendrimers on barrier functions and inflammatory activation of human vascular endothelium; none of fibrosis‐linked microRNA (miR‐21, miR‐26, miR‐29, miR‐30 and miR‐133a) is associated with cardiovascular events in dilated cardiomyopathy; beneficial effect of intravenous iron, ferric carboxymaltose, in heart failure; elevated levels of circulating miRNA‐499 in early phase of non‐ST elevation acute coronary syndromes predict a risk of major adverse cardiac events in long‐term monitoring; do beta‐blockers improve one‐year survival in heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation? ‐ results from the ESC‐HF registry; the prevalence of cardiotropic viruses in patients with clinical suspicion of viral heart disease; heart failure with mid‐range ejection fraction ‐ clinical characteristics and in‐hospital outcomes. insights into novel enigma based on the results from the ESC‐HF registries; quantification of mitral regurgitation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with the use of aortic and pulmonary flow data: impact of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and different left ventricular segmentation methods; comparison of outcomes in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing concomitant balloon aortic valvuloplasty and percutaneous coronary intervention versus balloon aortic valvuloplasty alone; epidemiology and chronobiology of out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest in Opole district ‐ a 2‐year observation; and influence of energy drinks on hemodynamic parameters in young healthy adults ‐ randomized double‐blind placebo controlled cross‐over study.
