The 6MW stress echocardiography noninvasively provides an incremental prognostic value of PH development in CTD. This is a single-center prospective cohort study. Larger multicenter studies are warranted to confirm this result.

The left LV end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship can be estimated by changes in transmitral flow velocity during LPP. Thus, pre-load stress echocardiography using LPP provides additional prognostic information in mild heart failure beyond that provided by conventional Doppler echocardiography at rest.

Background: Recent studies have shown that intake of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is associated with reduced risk of cognitive impairment and coronary artery disease (CAD); however, it is currently unknown whether reduced serum n-3 PUFA is associated with cognitive impairment in patients with CAD.
