Abstract
Introduction Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a telehealth activity to collect and analyze patient health or medical data. Its use has expanded in the past decade and has improved medical outcomes and care management of non-communicable chronic diseases. However, implementation of RPM into routine clinical activities has been limited. The objective of this study was to describe the French funding program for RPM (known as ETAPES) and one of the RPM solution providers (Satelia®) dedicated to chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods A descriptive assessment of both the ETAPES funding program and Satelia® RPM solution was conducted. Data were collected from official legal documents and information that was publicly available online from the French Ministry of Health. Results and Discussion ETAPES was formally created in 2016 based on previous legislation pertaining to the national health insurance funding strategy. However, it only started to operate in 2018. Patients with CHF were only eligible if they were at medium or high risk of re-hospitalization with a New York Heart Association (NYHA) score superior or equal to two and a BNP>100 pg/ml or NT pro BNP>1000 pg/ml. Medical monitoring was supported through the therapeutic education of a patient on the RPM model of care with a minimum of three training sessions during the first six months. The use of Satelia® Cardio is noteworthy since it relies only on symptomatic monitoring through which the patient manually reports their information by answering a simple questionnaire on a regular basis and does not rely on any connected devices. Conclusion Innovative funding programs and solutions for RPM need real-world evaluation in the future.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Patient's knowledge about their treatment is poor, generally speaking. New oral anticoagulants are easier to use compared to antivitamin K, and they are going to increase. This simplification can underestimate their high potential risk. We have assessed patient's knowledge about their direct oral anticoagulants. METHODS It was a quantitative, observational, multicentric, prospective study, on 50 patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants. They have been included from November 2015 to February 2017, in Île-de-France. They were needed to be aged more than 18years old, whatever was: the reason of this treatment, the beginning of it, the molecule, the existence or not of antivitamin K before. Their knowledge was assessed by a survey, realised by a unique investigator. The primary outcome was to reach more than 80% good answers to the survey. Secondary outcomes were to identify factors than can influence knowledge. RESULTS Among fifty patients, nine (18%) reached a goal over or equal to 80%. They knew the name of their medicament in 58% of cases, and the indication in 72% of cases. They could identify hemorragic signs in more than 70% of cases. In case of hemorragic sign, 94% of them were going to see a doctor. Thrombosis signs were less knew. None of the factors, excepted their profession, was different in the two populations (P=0,01). CONCLUSION This study showed the few rate of patient knowing their oral anticoagulants treatment perfectly, and their need to improve it. It could make professional healthcare aware to this problematic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the clinical presentation, microbial etiology and outcome of patients presenting with infective endocarditis (IE). PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a four-year retrospective study including all patients presenting with IE. RESULTS We included 121 patients in the study. The median age was 74.8years. Most patients had native valve IE (57%). Staphylococcus aureus accounted for 24.8% of all IE. Surgery was indicated for 70 patients (57.9%) but actually performed in only 55 (44.7%). Factors associated with surgery were younger age (P=0.002) and prosthetic valve IE (P=0.001). Risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality were diabetes mellitus (OR=3.17), chronic renal insufficiency (OR=6.62), and surgical indication (OR=3.49). Mortality of patients who underwent surgery was one sixth of that of patients with surgical indication who did not have the surgery (P<0.001).

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY To compare definite endocarditis (DE) and possible endocarditis (PE) according to the Duke criteria, in a monocentric cohort of 45 patients. METHOD From the registers of the Cardiology Department and medical database of the hospital informatic department, 45 cases of endocarditis are colliged, 29DE and 16PE. RESULTS DE age is 66 years, PE age is 74 years, (p<0,02), 17 male (59%) in DE, eight in PE, 21 (72%) DE have a preexisting cardiopathy versus 15 (94%) PE, seven native valve and six prosthetic valve in PE, 11 native valve and nine prosthetic valve in DE. Twenty-six (90%) DE and 16 (100%) have fever, 14 (48%) DE and nine (56%) PE have a cardiac failure, one DE (3%) and 14 (87%) have no echographic sign of endocarditis (transthoracic echo or transthoracic and transesophagal echo) (p<0.001). Blood cultures are positive in 23DE (79%), and 14 (87%) PE (NS) Streptococcus and Enterococcus are the most common bacterial species (62%) in the two groups. Treatment duration is 64 days for DE and 43 days for PE, hospitalisation duration is 33 days for the DE and 27 days in PE. CONCLUSIONS PE group and DE group are similar concerning fever cardiac failure, preexisting cardiopathy, blood cultures and bacterial species. PE group is older than DE group, echography is more often negative in PE group. A patient with a preexisting valvulopathy and a septicemia without echographic sign of endocarditis is the most frequent clinical pattern in PE.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Arterial distensibility is one of the components of afterload. Arterial distensibility, left ventricular (LV) mass and LV function are closely linked. The aim of this study is to describe the relations between LV mass LV function and arterial distensibility evaluated by echography Doppler (échography Doppler) and ambulatory monitoring pressure. Sixty-two patients with or without cardiac disease were prospectively enrolled excepted those with atrial fibrillation, left bundle branch block pace maker, or valvulopathy. Echography Doppler study collected stroke volume, LV diameters and wall thickness, ejection time (ET) and preejection time (PET); were calculated ejection fraction (EF), systolic pressure/systolic diameter ratio, LV mass index (LVMI), relative wall thickness ratio (e/r). AMP collected usual pressure datas and QKd, time interval between QECG and diastolic Korotkoff sound, instantaneous, over 24 h (i, 24 h), and for a pressure of 100 mm Hg and a heart rate of 60 bpm (QKd 100-60). RESULTS QKd 24 h was correlated with LVMI (r = 0.40, p = 0.006) and e/r (r = 0.32, p = 0.028). QKdi was correlated with EF (p < 0.001, r = 0.65), with systolic pressure/systolic diameter ratio (p < 0.001, r = 0.75), and with ET/PET (r = 0.56, p < 0.001). When PET was withdrawn from QKd, no correlation exist between QKd-PET and LV function index, excepted QKd-PET versus systolic pressure/systolic diameter (r = 0.46, p = 0.005). CONCLUSION QKd is not only an arterial distensibility index but also a LV function index, because PET is included in it. Echography Doppler and AMP are available and common tools to study the aorta/LV relationship.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Echocardiography Doppler (ED) is a common tool in hypertension to assess left ventricular (LV) mass or LV function. Echography doppler is also available to assess some arterial distensibility (AD) indexes, but it is less frequently used. The aim of this study is to compare AD indexes obtained from échographie doppler with timing of Korotkoff sound (QKd interval), obtained from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (APM). Sixty-two patients with or without cardiac diseases were prospectively enrolled, except those with left bundle branch, atrial fibrillation or pacemaker. Echography doppler study collected timing of abdominal pulse (QtAA), interval time between Q ECG and the foot of doppler wave velocity in abdominal aorta pulse wave velocity (PWV) between two points of descending thoracic aorta; and Stroke index. APM study collected simultaneous usual pressure indexes (systolic diastolic, pulse pressure) instantaneous and over 24 h, and QKd interval times between Q ECG and diastolic Korotkoff sound instantaneous and over 24 h. Absolute AD Index (Burton index) was defined as Stroke index/pulse pressure. QtAA intra observer variability was the coefficient of variation (mean/SD). QtAA inter observer variability was QtAA assessments by two observers. RESULTS QtAA was correlated with QKdi (r = 0.78; p < 0.001) and QKd24 h (r = 0.64; p < 0.001). PWV was correlated with QKdi (r = 0.35; p = 0.009), but not with QKd24 h (r = 0.17; p = 0.24, NS). Burton index was correlated with QKdi (r = 0.48; p < 0.001), and QKd24 h (r = 0.53; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Echography doppler may provide some arterial distensibility indexes. Among these indexes, QtAA is easy to obtain and well correlated with QKd. However, further studies are needed to assess normal and pathological values.

Abstract
Arterial distensibility, one of the factors influencing afterload, plays a role in the development of left ventricular hypertrophy. The QKd, the delay before the perception of the Korotkoff sounds, is an index of arterial distensibility available from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The pulse wave velocity (PWV), another index of arterial distensibility, can be measured by Doppler echocardiography. The aim of this study was to compare these two indices with haemodynamic parameters of arterial distensibility and to determine their relationship to left ventricular geometry and function. Sixty-two consecutive patients, with and without cardiac disease, underwent simultaneous Doppler echocardiography and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. A correlation was observed between QKd and PWV (N = 53, p = 0.007, r = 0.37). The QKd and PWV were correlated to the absolute index of arterial distensibility (systolic index/pulse pressure) (N = 51, p < 0.001, r = 0.48). QKd was correlated with indices of left ventricular function such as EF (N = 55, p < 0.001, r = 0.66) or the systolic pressure/end systolic dimension ratio (N = 54, p < 0.001, r = 0.75). When the ejection time was subtracted from QKd, only the end systolic pressure/end systolic dimension remained significantly correlated (N = 37, p = 0.005, r = 0.40). The authors conclude that PWV and QKd were correlated and were also correlated with indices of arterial distensibility. QKd is a composite index of left ventricular function and arterial distensibility. Doppler echocardiography and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provide a non-invasive assessment of the aorta/LV couple.

Abstract
A right-to-left shunt during infarction with right ventricular extension is a rare and recently described complication. It results from opening of a foramen ovale due to increased right heart pressures. The authors describe another case occurring in a patient with an interatrial septal aneurysm, the diagnosis of which was made by transoesophageal echocardiography.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to propose a new method for calculating the regurgitation fraction of mitral insufficiency by the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method and to compare it with the value of the catheter regurgitation fraction. Thirty-five patients (21 men and 14 women) aged 59 +/- 13 years with isolated mitral insufficiency were studied. Analysis of the proximal isovelocity surface area enabled calculation of an instantaneous maximum regurgitant flow, surface of the regurgitant orifice and the regurgitant volume. The regurgitant fraction was calculated by dividing the regurgitant volume by the sum of the regurgitant volume and aortic stroke volume measured by Doppler echocardiography. These parameters were compared with the corresponding catheter data and the angiographic grade of mitral insufficiency. The echocardiographic and catheter studies were performed within 1.7 +/- 1.2 days. There was a statistically significant correlation between the instantaneous maximum regurgitant flow calculated by the PISA method and the catheter regurgitant flow (r = 0.88; p = 0.0001); between the regurgitant volume calculated by the PISA method and the catheter regurgitant volume (r = 0.85; p = 0.0001) and the regurgitation fraction calculated by the PISA method and the catheter regurgitant fraction (r = 0.82; p = 0.0001). A regurgitant fraction by the PISA method of > 45% corresponded to severe mitral regurgitation (> or = angiographic grade 3 and/or a catheter regurgitant fraction > or = 50%) with a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 100%. The PISA method should form part or routine quantification of mitral insufficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare clinical and ultrasonographic findings in 20 consecutive hypertensive Black Africans, with those of 20 hypertensive White Europeans matched for age in order to study modifications of left ventricular (VG) geometry. METHOD 20 consecutive Black men (B), recently emigrated from Africa and applying for asylum, referred for HT, were assessed by measuring systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and pulse pressure (PP), body mass index (BMI), echocardiography with measurement of the end-diastolic thickness of the septum, posterior wall (Epp), LV diameter (DTD), calculation of the LV mass index (LVMI) according to the Penn convention and the thickness/radius ratio (t/r). These subjects were matched for age with 20 consecutive European White men (W) sent to the echocardiography laboratory for assessment of HT, in whom the same parameters were measured. RESULTS The mean age was 41.6 +/- 9.2 (B) vs 42.1 +/- 8.8 years (W) (NS). The BMI was 26.3 +/- 3.2 (B) vs 27.3 +/- 3.4 (W) (NS). SBP was 175 +/- 24 (B) vs 156 +/- 15 mmHg (W) (p < 0.01). DBP was 108 +/- 13 (B) vs 94 +/- 9 mmHg (W) (p < 0.01). PP was 67 +/- 20 (B) vs 63 +/- 10 mmHg (W) (NS). LVMI was 131 +/- 43 (B) vs 91 +/- 19 g/m2 (W) (p = 0.001). The t/r ratio was 0.48 +/- 0.08 (B) vs 0.38 +/- 0.07 (W) (p < 0.001). DTD was 47.1 +/- 3.9 (B) vs 48.6 +/- 4.4 mm (W) (NS). Epp was 11.2 +/- 1.9 (B) vs 9.1 +/- 1.4 mm (W) (p < 0.001). A poor correlation was observed between SBP and LVMI (r = 0.23, p = 0.17), and between SBP and t/r (r = 0.21, p = 0.21). CONCLUSION Compared to a age-matched population of European hypertensive patients with similar morphology, our homogeneous group of recently emigrated patients was characterized by a greater severity of HT and the presence of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy. The marked difference in socio-economic status and access to care of these two populations must be stressed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinical and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic data were collected in 50 black Africans with hypertension to study modifications in left ventricular geometry. METHODS Thirty men and 20 women with hypertension (mean age 40.9 +/- 10.2 years) who had recently immigrated from Africa were included in the study. Parameters recorded were: systolic and diastolic pressures, body mass index (BMI = weight/height2); ECG; echocardiography (36 patients): end diastolic septal and posterior wall thickness, left ventricle diameter, left ventricle mass (LVM) and relative wall thickness. RESULTS Systolic and diastolic pressures and BMI were 169 +/- 24 mmHg, 105 +/- 14 mmHg and 26.7 +/- 3.9 kg/m2). LVM was 129 +/- 41 g/m2 (Normal < 134 g/m2) in men and 113 +/- 35 g/m2 (Normal = 110 g/m2) in women. Concentric remodeling was found in 8 patients (LVM = normal, relative wall thickness > or = 0.45), concentric left ventricle hypertrophy in 10 (LVM > normal, relative wall thickness > or = 0.45), excentric left ventricular hypertrophy in 6 (LVM > normal, relative wall thickness < 0.45), asymmetric septal hypertrophy in 4 and normal echocardiogram in 8. There was a negative correlation between age and end diastolic left ventricle diameter (r = -0.34, p < 0.05) and age and end systolic ventricle diameter (r = -0.74, p < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between body surface and septal thickness (r = 0.34, p < 0.05), posterior wall thickness (r = 0.56, relative wall p < 0.001), and relative wall thickness (r = 0.45, p = 0.05). CONCLUSION This population of young subjects with hypertension showed a high prevalence of modifications in left ventricular geometry with predominant concentric modeling with (8/36) and without (10/36) left ventricle hypertrophy.

Abstract
Campylobacter fetus is a rare cause of endocarditis and endoaortitis: the authors believe this to be the second reported case of infection of an intracardiac prosthesis. The patient was a man who had already undergone replacement of the aortic valve and ascending aorta, and a gastrectomy, which were predisposing factors. The portal of entry was not found. The diagnosis was confirmed by positive blood cultures and transoesophageal echocardiography. The outcome was rapidly fatal despite antibiotic therapy and surgery, because of the seriousness of the lesions (pseudo-aneurysm of the aorta ruptured into the right atrium), the precarity of the terrain and surgical difficulties.

Abstract
Sublingual nifedipine has a rapid and powerful hypotensive effect. Its action on arterial distensibility can be assessed by measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV) by Doppler echocardiography (DE). Ten patients were used to evaluate intra-observer reproducibility (Group 1). Fifteen hypertension patients (Group 2), not taking a calcium antagonist, 64 +/- 13 years-old, were studied by DE before and 15 minutes after 10 mg of SL nifedipine. The following were measured: systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP), heart rate (HR), echocardiographic shortening fraction (SF) and PWV, with sternal length (SL) taken as being identical to the length of the abdominal aorta between the isthmus and the coeliac region, and by measuring delta t: time interval for propagation of the pulsed Doppler velocimetric wave between the isthmic aorta and the coeliac aorta located by echocardiography: PWV = SL/delta t. Evidence was found in the nifedipine group (n = 15) of a fall in SBP (159.5 +/- 27.8 cf. 140.9 +/- 21 mmHg; p = 0.002); in DBP (88.6 +/- 13 cf. 79.6 +/- 8.3 mmHg; p = 0.005) and an increase in HR (72.3 +/- 10.7 cf. 76.8 +/- 12.9 bpm; p = 0.04). PWV decreased after nifedipine (10.5 +/- 3.9 cf. 7.15 +/- 12.9 bpm; p = 0.002). There was a linear correlation between the percentage reduction in PWV and left ventricular HR: y = 194x - 53; r = 0.56; p = 0.029.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The concentrations of plasma ANF and plasma and urinary cyclic GMP were measured at rest and during exercise in 12 normal subjects (reference group) and 20 patients with coronary artery disease (coronary group). In both groups, plasma ANF and c GMP increased during exercise and fell one hour after (F = 3.8, p = 0.029 and F = 13.3, p = 0.0001, respectively) whereas the urinary c GMP increased one hour after exercise (F = 5.3, p = 0.029). In the control group, ANF increased on effort and fell during recovery to above its resting value whereas the plasma c GMP remained unchanged throughout the test. In the coronary group, no significant increase in ANF was observed on effort (wide dispersion of values) whereas the c GMP increased during effort and fell to below testing value during the recovery phase. The ANF of the coronary group was globally higher than the ANF of the control group (F = 4.7, p = 0.04). The plasma c GMP of the coronary group was comparable to that of the controls (F = 2.1, p = 0.15) despite higher concentrations at rest (p < 0.05) and during exercise (p < 0.05). However, there was a positive interaction between the efforts of exercise and the pressure of coronary disease on the concentration of plasma c GMP (F = 6.7, p = 0.0024). There was no difference in urinary c GMP between control and coronary subjects (F = 1, p = 0.33).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The authors report the case of a 74-year-old hypertensive man hospitalised with chest pain accompanied by shock and hemo-mediastinum. The diagnosis of spontaneous rupture of the thoracic aorta, suspected by aortic arteriography, was confirmed by thoracic CT scan with injection of contrast medium. Emergency surgery revealed a 4 cm longitudinal linear tear of the horizontal aorta, with neither dissection nor aneurysm. Simple suture during extra-corporeal circulation with normothermia and the heart beating, was successful after prolonged postoperative intensive care. This case of complete and spontaneous acute rupture of the horizontal thoracic aorta appears to be the first to have been successfully treated surgically.

Abstract
The authors report a case of bilateral renal embolism during thrombolytic treatment in the acute phase of myocardial infarction in a 77 year old patient in whom echocardiography had shown a left ventricular thrombus. After reviewing the literature, the risk of embolic complications of thrombolytic therapy would seem difficult to evaluate because of the difficulty of diagnosis, but they exist irrespective of the type of thrombolytic agent used.

Abstract
Cardiac tolerance to digital subtraction angiography by venous route (DSAV) was evaluated during a prospective study of a continuous series of 100 patients of both sexes investigated for various arterial diseases, and classified previously as "cardiac" and "non-cardiac". A permanent 12 lead ECE recording by sequences of 3 allowed study of ischemic and rhythmic changes provoked by randomly allocated injections of contrast media, Ioxaglate or Iopamidol. Major cardiac complications were not observed in the 98 patients studied (2 excluded), but in 32.6% auricular extrasystoles (AES) and/or ventricular extrasystoles (VES) were noted and in 19.4% a painless widening of the ST segment of 0.5 mm or more. The and ST widening were more frequent in the VES 40 patients classed as "cardiac" than in the 58 "non cardiac" (35% against 8.6%, p less than 0.01 and 37.5% against 6.9%, p less than 0.001 respectively). The two products did not differ with respect to their effect on frequency of repolarization anomalies, whereas Ioxaglate provoked more VES than Iopamidol (30% against 8%, p less than 0.02). It is concluded that cardiac tolerance to DSAV is good, but that the frequency of VES and painless repolarization ischemic disorders observed, even with only weakly hypertonic contrast media of non ionic type, suggests that their indications be limited and that certain precautions are necessary in cardiac patients.

Abstract
Two categories of criteria are used to evaluate the cardiological and psychological results of aortocoronary bypass (ACB): objective criteria, which support the clinician's judgement, and subjective criteria, which contribute to the patient's comfort. Numerous studies have revealed major discrepancies between these two modes of evaluation. A prospective study was undertaken to compare the cardiological and psychological results of ACB at 1 year. The study was based on 24 parameters collected in an ordinary cardiology consultation and from an open discussion between the patient and his (or her) partner and a psychiatrist. In the first phase of the study the results observed in 51 patients were classified as "good" in 40 and "poor" in 11 by the cardiologist, as against "good" in 32 and "poor" in 19 by the psychiatrist. The psychiatrist's assessment differed from that of the cardiologist on 22 patients, being better in 7 and not as good in 15. The second phase of the study has been devised to validate the results obtained in the first phase and to evaluate the contribution of ergonometric test to the cardiological classification of 37 new patients. This study makes it possible to analyze the reasons for the difference in assessment of the cardiological and psychological benefits of ACB, and to develop a method for measuring the impact on these results of new therapeutic measures, such as rehabilitation.
