AbstractIntroduction. We report a very rare case of familial breast cancer and diffuse gastric cancer, with germline pathogenic variants in both BRCA1 and CDH1 genes. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such an association.Family description.

The proband is a woman diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 52 years. She requested genetic counselling in 2012, at the age of 91 years, because of a history of breast cancer in her daughter, her sister, her niece and her paternal grandmother and was therefore concerned about her relatives. Her sister and maternal aunt also had gastric cancer.

She was tested for several genes associated with hereditary breast cancer.Results. A large deletion of BRCA1 from exons 1 to 7 and two CDH1 pathogenic cis variants were identified.Conclusion. This complex situation is challenging for genetic counselling and management of at-risk individuals.cancer.

Breastcancer. Gastricclinical geneticsgenetic screening/counsellingmolecular geneticsIntroductionGLI-Kruppel family member 3 (GLI3) encodes for a zinc finger transcription factor which plays a key role in the sonic hedgehog (SHH) signalling pathway essential in both limb and craniofacial development.1 2 In hand development, SHH is expressed in the zone of polarising activity (ZPA) on the posterior side of the handplate. The ZPA expresses SHH, creating a gradient of SHH from the posterior to the anterior side of the handplate.

In the presence of SHH, full length GLI3-protein is produced (GLI3A), whereas absence of SHH causes cleavage of GLI3 into its repressor form (GLI3R).3 4 Abnormal expression of this SHH/GLI3R gradient can cause both preaxial and postaxial polydactyly.2Concordantly, pathogenic DNA variants in the GLI3 gene are known to cause multiple syndromes with craniofacial and limb involvement, such as. Acrocallosal syndrome5 (OMIM. 200990), Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome6 (OMIM.

175700) and Pallister-Hall syndrome7 (OMIM. 146510). Also, in non-syndromic polydactyly, such as preaxial polydactyly-type 4 (PPD4, OMIM.

174700),8 pathogenic variants in GLI3 have been described. Out of these diseases, Pallister-Hall syndrome is the most distinct entity, defined by the presence of central polydactyly and hypothalamic hamartoma.9 The other GLI3 syndromes are defined by the presence of preaxial and/or postaxial polydactyly of the hand and feet with or without syndactyly (Greig syndrome, PPD4). Also, various mild craniofacial features such as hypertelorism and macrocephaly can occur.

Pallister-Hall syndrome is caused by truncating variants in the middle third of the GLI3 gene.10â12 The truncation of GLI3 causes an overexpression of GLI3R, which is believed to be the key difference between Pallister-Hall and the GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes.9 11 Although multiple attempts have been made, the clinical and genetic distinction between the GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes is less evident. This has for example led to the introduction of subGreig and the formulation of an Oro-facial-digital overlap syndrome.10 Other authors, suggested that we should not regard these diseases as separate entities, but as a spectrum of GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes.13Although phenotype/genotype correlation of the different syndromes has been cumbersome, clinical and animal studies do provide evidence that distinct regions within the gene, could be related to the individual anomalies contributing to these syndromes. First, case studies show isolated preaxial polydactyly is caused by both truncating and non-truncating variants throughout the GLI3 gene, whereas in isolated postaxial polydactyly cases truncating variants at the C-terminal side of the gene are observed.12 14 These results suggest two different groups of variants for preaxial and postaxial polydactyly.

Second, recent animal studies suggest that posterior malformations in GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes are likely related to a dosage effect of GLI3R rather than due to the influence of an altered GLI3A expression.15Past attempts for phenotype/genotype correlation in GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes have directly related the diagnosed syndrome to the observed genotype.10â12 16 Focusing on individual hand phenotypes, such as preaxial and postaxial polydactyly and syndactyly might be more reliable because it prevents misclassification due to inconsistent use of syndrome definition. Subsequently, latent class analysis (LCA) provides the possibility to relate a group of observed variables to a set of latent, or unmeasured, parameters and thereby identifying different subgroups in the obtained dataset.17 As a result, LCA allows us to group different phenotypes within the GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes and relate the most important predictors of the grouped phenotypes to the observed GLI3 variants.The aim of our study was to further investigate the correlation of the individual phenotypes to the genotypes observed in GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes, using LCA. Cases were obtained by both literature review and the inclusion of local clinical cases.

Subsequently, we identified two subclasses of limb anomalies that relate to the underlying GLI3 variant. We provide evidence for two different phenotypic and genotypic groups with predominantly preaxial and postaxial hand and feet anomalies, and we specify those cases with a higher risk for corpus callosum anomalies.MethodsLiterature reviewThe Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD Professional 2019) was reviewed to identify known pathogenic variants in GLI3 and corresponding phenotypes.18 All references were obtained and cases were included when they were diagnosed with either Greig or subGreig syndrome or PPD4.10â12 Pallister-Hall syndrome and acrocallosal syndrome were excluded because both are regarded distinct syndromes and rather defined by the presence of the non-hand anomalies, than the presence of preaxial or postaxial polydactyly.13 19 Isolated preaxial or postaxial polydactyly were excluded for two reasons. The phenotype/genotype correlations are better understood and both anomalies can occur sporadically which could introduce falsely assumed pathogenic GLI3 variants in the analysis.

Additionally, cases were excluded when case-specific phenotypic or genotypic information was not reported or if these two could not be related to each other. Families with a combined phenotypic description, not reducible to individual family members, were included as one case in the analysis.Clinical casesThe Sophia Childrenâs Hospital Database was reviewed for cases with a GLI3 variant. Within this population, the same inclusion criteria for the phenotype were valid.

Relatives of the index patients were also contacted for participation in this study, when they showed comparable hand, foot, or craniofacial malformations or when a GLI3 variant was identified. Phenotypes of the hand, foot and craniofacial anomalies of the patients treated in the Sophia Children's Hospital were collected using patient documentation. Family members were identified and if possible, clinically verified.

Alternatively, family members were contacted to verify their phenotypes. If no verification was possible, cases were excluded.PhenotypesThe phenotypes of both literature cases and local cases were extracted in a similar fashion. The most frequently reported limb and craniofacial phenotypes were dichotomised.

The dichotomised hand and foot phenotypes were preaxial polydactyly, postaxial polydactyly and syndactyly. Broad halluces or thumbs were commonly reported by authors and were dichotomised as a presentation of preaxial polydactyly. The extracted dichotomised craniofacial phenotypes were hypertelorism, macrocephaly and corpus callosum agenesis.

All other phenotypes were registered, but not dichotomised.Pathogenic GLI3 variantsAll GLI3 variants were extracted and checked using Alamut Visual V.2.14. If indicated, variants were renamed according to standard Human Genome Variation Society nomenclature.20 Variants were grouped in either missense, frameshift, nonsense or splice site variants. In the group of frameshift variants, a subgroup with possible splice site effect were identified for subgroup analysis when indicated.

Similarly, nonsense variants prone for nonsense mediated decay (NMD) and nonsense variants with experimentally confirmed NMD were identified.21 Deletions of multiple exons, CNVs and translocations were excluded for analysis. A full list of included mutations is available in the online supplementary materials.Supplemental materialThe location of the variant was compared with five known structural domains of the GLI3 gene. (1) repressor domain, (2) zinc finger domain, (3) cleavage site, (4) activator domain, which we defined as a concatenation of the separately identified transactivation zones, the CBP binding domain and the mediator binding domain (MBD) and (5) the MID1 interaction region domain.1 6 22â24 The boundaries of each of the domains were based on available literature (figure 1, exact locations available in the online supplementary materials).

The boundaries used by different authors did vary, therefore a consensus was made.In this figure the posterior probability of an anterior phenotype is plotted against the location of the variant, stratified for the type of mutation that was observed. For better overview, only variants with a location effect were displayed. The full figure, including all variant types, can be found in the online supplementary figure 1.

Each mutation is depicted as a dot, the size of the dot represents the number of observations for that variant. If multiple observations were made, the mean posterior odds and IQR are plotted. For the nonsense variants, variants that were predicted to produce nonsense mediated decay, are depicted using a triangle.

Again, the size indicates the number of observations." data-icon-position data-hide-link-title="0">Figure 1 In this figure the posterior probability of an anterior phenotype is plotted against the location of the variant, stratified for the type of mutation that was observed. For better overview, only variants with a location effect were displayed. The full figure, including all variant types, can be found in the online supplementary figure 1.

Again, the size indicates the number of observations.Supplemental materialLatent class analysisTo cluster phenotypes and relate those to the genotypes of the patients, an explorative analysis was done using LCA in R (R V.3.6.1 for Mac. Polytomous variable LCA, poLCA V.1.4.1.). We used our LCA to detect the number of phenotypic subgroups in the dataset and subsequently predict a class membership for each case in the dataset based on the posterior probabilities.In order to make a reliable prediction, only phenotypes that were sufficiently reported and/or ruled out were feasible for LCA, limiting the analysis to preaxial polydactyly, postaxial polydactyly and syndactyly of the hands and feet.

Only full cases were included. To determine the optimal number of classes, we fitted a series of models ranging from a one-class to a six-class model. The optimal number of classes was based on the conditional Akaike information criterion (cAIC), the non adjusted and the sample-size adjusted Bayesian information criterion (BIC and aBIC) and the obtained entropy.25 The explorative LCA produces both posterior probabilities per case for both classes and predicted class membership.

Using the predicted class membership, the phenotypic features per class were determined in a univariate analysis (Ï2, SPSS V.25). Using the posterior probabilities on latent class (LC) membership, a scatter plot was created using the location of the variant on the x-axis and the probability of class membership on the y-axis for each of the types of variants (Tibco Spotfire V.7.14). Using these scatter plots, variants that give similar phenotypes were clustered.Genotype/phenotype correlationBecause an LC has no clinical value, the correlation between genotypes and phenotypes was investigated using the predictor phenotypes and the clustered phenotypes.

First, those phenotypes that contribute most to LC membership were identified. Second those phenotypes were directly related to the different types of variants (missense, nonsense, frameshift, splice site) and their clustered locations. Quantification of the relation was performed using a univariate analysis using a Ï2 test.

Because of our selection criteria, meaning patients at least have two phenotypes, a multivariate using a logistic regression analysis was used to detect the most significant predictors in the overall phenotype (SPSS V.25). Finally, we explored the relation of the clustered genotypes to the presence of corpus callosum agenesis, a rare malformation in GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes which cannot be readily diagnosed without additional imaging.ResultsWe included 251 patients from the literature and 46 local patients,10â12 16 21 26â43 in total 297 patients from 155 different families with 127 different GLI3 variants, 32 of which were large deletions, CNVs or translocations. In six local cases, the exact variant could not be retrieved by status research.The distribution of the most frequently observed phenotypes and variants are presented in table 1.

Other recurring phenotypes included developmental delay (n=22), broad nasal root (n=23), frontal bossing or prominent forehead (n=16) and craniosynostosis (n=13), camptodactyly (n=8) and a broad first interdigital webspace of the foot (n=6).View this table:Table 1 Baseline phenotypes and genotypes of selected populationThe LCA model was fitted using the six defined hand/foot phenotypes. Model fit indices for the LCA are displayed in table 2. Based on the BIC, a two-class model has the best fit for our data.

The four-class model does show a gain in entropy, however with a higher BIC and loss of df. Therefore, based on the majority of performance statistics and the interpretability of the model, a two-class model was chosen. Table 3 displays the distribution of phenotypes and genotypes over the two classes.View this table:Table 2 Model fit indices for the one-class through six-class model evaluated in our LCAView this table:Table 3 Distribution of phenotypes and genotypes in the two latent classes (LC)Table 1 depicts the baseline phenotypes and genotypes in the obtained population.

Note incomplete data especially in the cranium phenotypes. In total 259 valid genotypes were present. In total, 289 cases had complete data for all hand and foot phenotypes (preaxial polydactyly, postaxial polydactyly and syndactyly) and thus were available for LCA.

Combined, for phenotype/genotype correlation 258 cases were available with complete genotypes and complete hand and foot phenotypes.Table 2 depicts the model fit indices for all models that have been fitted to our data.Table 3 depicts the distribution of phenotypes and genotypes over the two assigned LCs. Hand and foot phenotypes were used as input for the LCA, thus are all complete cases. Malformation of the cranium and genotypes do have missing cases.

Note that for the LCA, full case description was required, resulting in eight cases due to incomplete phenotypes. Out of these eight, one also had a genotype that thus needed to be excluded. Missingness of genotypic data was higher in LC2, mostly due to CNVs (table 1).In 54/60 cases, a missense variant produced a posterior phenotype.

Likewise, splice site variants show the same phenotype in 23/24 cases (table 3). For both frameshift and nonsense variants, this relation is not significant (52 anterior vs 54 posterior and 26 anterior vs 42 posterior, respectively). Therefore, only for nonsense and frameshift variants the location of the variant was plotted against the probability for LC2 membership in figure 1.

A full scatterplot of all variants is available in online supplementary figure 1.Figure 1 reveals a pattern for these nonsense and frameshift variants that reveals that variants at the C-terminal of the gene predict anterior phenotypes. When relating the domains of the GLI3 protein to the observed phenotype, we observe that the majority of patients with a nonsense or frameshift variant in the repressor domain, the zinc finger domain or the cleavage site had a high probability of an LC2/anterior phenotype. This group contains all variants that are either experimentally determined to be subject to NMD (triangle marker in figure 1) or predicted to be subject to NMD (diamond marker in figure 1).

Frameshift and nonsense variants in the activator domain result in high probability for an LC1/posterior phenotype. These variants will be further referred to as truncating variants in the activator domain.The univariate relation of the individual phenotypes to these two groups of variants are estimated and presented in table 4. In our multivariate analysis, postaxial polydactyly of the foot and hand are the strongest predictors (Beta.

2.548, p<0001âand Beta. 1.47, p=0.013, respectively) for patients to have a truncating variant in the activator domain. Moreover, the effect sizes of preaxial polydactyly of the hand and feet (Beta.

Â0.797, p=0123âand â1.772, p=0.001) reveals that especially postaxial polydactyly of the foot is the dominant predictor for the genetic substrate of the observed anomalies.View this table:Table 4 Univariate and multivariate analysis of the phenotype/genotype correlationTable 4 shows exploration of the individual phenotypes on the genotype, both univariate and multivariate. The multivariate analysis corrects for the presence of multiple phenotypes in the underlying population.Although the craniofacial anomalies could not be included in the LCA, the relation between the observed anomalies and the identified genetic substrates can be studied. The prevalence of hypertelorism was equally distributed over the two groups of variants (47/135 vs 21/47 respectively, p<0.229).

However for corpus callosum agenesis and macrocephaly, there was a higher prevalence in patients with a truncating variant in the activator domain (3/75 vs 11/41, p<0.001. OR. 8.8, p<0.001) and 42/123 vs 24/48, p<0.05).

Noteworthy is the fact that 11/14 cases with corpus callosum agenesis in the dataset had a truncating variant in the activator domain.DiscussionIn this report, we present new insights into the correlation between the phenotype and the genotype in patients with GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes. We illustrate that there are two LCs of patients, best predicted by postaxial polydactyly of the hand and foot for LC1, and the preaxial polydactyly of the hand and foot and syndactyly of the foot for LC2. Patients with postaxial phenotypes have a higher risk of having a truncating variant in the activator domain of the GLI3 gene which is also related to a higher risk of corpus callosum agenesis.

These results suggest a functional difference between truncating variants on the N-terminal and the C-terminal side of the GLI3 cleavage site.Previous attempts of phenotype to genotype correlation have not yet provided the clinical confirmation of these assumed mechanisms in the pathophysiology of GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes. Johnston et al have successfully determined the Pallister-Hall region in which truncating variants produce a Pallister-Hall phenotype rather than Greig syndrome.11 However, in their latest population study, subtypes of both syndromes were included to explain the full spectrum of observed malformations. In 2015, Demurger et al reported the higher incidence of corpus callosum agenesis in the Greig syndrome population with truncating mutations in the activator domain.12 Al-Qattan in his review summarises the concept of a spectrum of anomalies dependent on haplo-insufficiency (through different mechanisms) and repressor overexpression.13 However, he bases this theory mainly on reviewed experimental data.

Our report is the first to provide an extensive clinical review of cases that substantiate the phenotypic difference between the two groups that could fit the suggested mechanisms. We agree with Al-Qattan et al that a variation of anomalies can be observed given any pathogenic variant in the GLI3 gene, but overall two dominant phenotypes are present. A population with predominantly preaxial anomalies and one with postaxial anomalies.

The presence of preaxial or postaxial polydactyly and syndactyly is not mutually exclusive for one of these two subclasses. Meaning that preaxial polydactyly can co-occur with postaxial polydactyly. However, truncating mutations in the activator domain produce a postaxial phenotype, as can be derived from the risk in table 4.

The higher risk of corpus callosum agenesis in this population shows that differentiating between a preaxial phenotype and a postaxial phenotype, instead of between the different GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes, might be more relevant regarding diagnostics for corpus callosum agenesis.We chose to use LCA as an exploratory tool only in our population for two reasons. First of all, LCA can be useful to identify subgroups, but there is no âtrueâ model or number of subgroups you can detect. The best fitting model can only be estimated based on the available measures and approximates the true subgroups that might be present.

Second, LC membership assignment is a statistical procedure based on the posterior probability, with concordant errors of the estimation, rather than a clinical value that can be measured or evaluated. Therefore, we decided to use our LCA only in an exploratory tool, and perform our statistics using the actual phenotypes that predict LC membership and the associated genotypes. Overall, this method worked well to differentiate the two subgroups present in our dataset.

However, outliers were observed. A qualitative analysis of these outliers is available in the online supplementary data.The genetic substrate for the two phenotypic clusters can be discussed based on multiple experiments. Overall, we hypothesise two genetic clusters.

One that is due to haploinsufficiency and one that is due to abnormal truncation of the activator. The hypothesised cluster of variants that produce haploinsufficiency is mainly based on the experimental data that confirms NMD in two variants and the NMD prediction of other nonsense variants in Alamut. For the frameshift variants, it is also likely that the cleavage of the zinc finger domain results in functional haploinsufficiency either because of a lack of signalling domains or similarly due to NMD.

Missense variants could cause haploinsufficiency through the suggested mechanism by Krauss et al who have illustrated that missense variants in the MID1 domain hamper the functional interaction with the MID1-Î±4-PP2A complex, leading to a subcellular location of GLI3.24 The observed missense variants in our study exceed the region to which Krauss et al have limited the MID-1 interaction domain. An alternative theory is suggested by Zhou et al who have shown that missense variants in the MBD can cause deficiency in the signalling of GLI3A, functionally implicating a relative overexpression of GLI3R.22 However, GLI3R overexpression would likely produce a posterior phenotype, as determined by Hill et al in their fixed homo and hemizygous GLI3R models.15 Therefore, our hypothesis is that all included missense variants have a similar pathogenesis which is more likely in concordance with the mechanism introduced by Krauss et al. To our knowledge, no splice site variants have been functionally described in literature.

However, it is noted that the 15 and last exon encompasses the entire activator domain, thus any splice site mutation is by definition located on the 5â² side of the activator. Based on the phenotype, we would suggest that these variants fail to produce a functional protein. We hypothesise that the truncating variants of the activator domain lead to overexpression of GLI3R in SHH rich areas.

In normal development, the presence of SHH prevents the processing of full length GLI34 into GLI3R, thus producing the full length activator. In patients with a truncating variant of the activator domain of GLI3, thus these variants likely have the largest effect in SHH rich areas, such as the ZPA located at the posterior side of the hand/footplate. Moreover, the lack of posterior anomalies in the GLI3â699/- mouse model (hemizygous fixed repressor model) compared with the GLI3â699/â699 mouse model (homozygous fixed repressor model), suggesting a dosage effect of GLI3R to be responsible for posterior hand anomalies.15 These findings are supported by Lewandowski et al, who show that the majority of the target genes in GLI signalling are regulated by GLI3R rather than GLI3A.44 Together, these findings suggest a role for the location and type of variant in GLI3-mediated syndromes.Interestingly, the difference between Pallister-Hall syndrome and GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes has also been attributed to the GLI3R overexpression.

However, the difference in phenotype observed in the cases with a truncating variant in the activator domain and Pallister-Hall syndrome suggest different functional consequences. When studying figure 1, it is noted that the included truncating variants on the 3â² side of the cleavage site seldomly affect the CBP binding region, which could provide an explanation for the observed differences. This binding region is included in the Pallister-Hall region as defined by Johnston et al and is necessary for the downstream signalling with GLI1.10 11 23 45 Interestingly, recent reports show that pathogenic variants in GLI1 can produce phenotypes concordant with Ellis von Krefeld syndrome, which includes overlapping features with Pallister-Hall syndrome.46 The four truncating variants observed in this study that do affect the CBP but did not result in a Pallister-Hall phenotype are conflicting with this theory.

Krauss et al postulate an alternative hypothesis, they state that the MID1-Î±4-PP2A complex, which is essential for GLI3A signalling, could also be the reason for overlapping features of Opitz syndrome, caused by variants in MID1, and Pallister-Hall syndrome. Further analysis is required to fully appreciate the functional differences between truncating mutations that cause Pallister-Hall syndrome and those that result in GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes.For the clinical evaluation of patients with GLI3-mediated polydactyly syndromes, intracranial anomalies are likely the most important to predict based on the variant. Unfortunately, the presence of corpus callosum agenesis was not routinely investigated or reported thus this feature could not be used as an indicator phenotype for LC membership.

Interestingly when using only hand and foot phenotypes, we did notice a higher prevalence of corpus callosum agenesis in patients with posterior phenotypes. The suggested relation between truncating mutations in the activator domain causing these posterior phenotypes and corpus callosum agenesis was statistically confirmed (OR. 8.8, p<0.001).

Functionally this relation could be caused by the GLI3-MED12 interaction at the MBD. Pathogenic DNA variants in MED12 can cause Opitz-Kaveggia syndrome, a syndrome in which presentation includes corpus callosum agenesis, broad halluces and thumbs.47In conclusion, there are two distinct phenotypes within the GLI3-mediated polydactyly population. Patients with more posteriorly and more anteriorly oriented hand anomalies.

Furthermore, this difference is related to the observed variant in GLI3. We hypothesise that variants that cause haploinsufficiency produce anterior anomalies of the hand, whereas variants with abnormal truncation of the activator domain have more posterior anomalies. Furthermore, patients that have a variant that produces abnormal truncation of the activator domain, have a greater risk for corpus callosum agenesis.

Thus, we advocate to differentiate preaxial or postaxial oriented GLI3 phenotypes to explain the pathophysiology as well as to get a risk assessment for corpus callosum agenesis.Data availability statementData are available upon reasonable request.Ethics statementsPatient consent for publicationNot required.Ethics approvalThe research protocol was approved by the local ethics board of the Erasmus MC University Medical Center (MEC 2015-679)..

Sridhar and Colbert7 discuss the importance of patient-reported outcomes (PROs), not just âhardâ clinical endpoints in clinical trials. ÂAs researchers and clinicians, our goals must align with those of the patients and what they value. It is heartening to see that more and more clinical trials in cardiology and electrophysiology are incorporating PROs as important endpoints.

A slow but definite paradigm shift is occurring to incorporate therapies with a focus on improving patientsâ lives, not just their hearts.âThe Education in Heart article in this issue discusses the diagnosis and management of familial hypercholesterolemia.8 Our Cardiology in Focus article âWhat to do when things go wrongâ provides a thoughtful discussion of the key steps in dealing with medical error.9 The Image Challenge in this issue10 provides a concise review of a sophisticated set of possible diagnoses to consider in a patient with a new murmur and classic echocardiographic images. Be sure to look at our online Image Challenge archive with over 150 image-based multiple choice questions and answers (https://heart.bmj.com/pages/collections/image_challenges/).Global trends in cardiovascular health have reached a worrisome inflection point. Decades of innovation led to a slew of drugs, devices and programmes that translated into reduced mortality from cardiovascular diseases in many countries.

Unfortunately, progress on cardiovascular mortality since 2010 has slowed. In some countries, it has even reversed.1 Compounding the problem, political actions on cardiovascular health have been inadequate, and health systems across many low-income and middle-income countries are woefully under-resourced to scale up basic cardiovascular services. These factors could increase global health inequalities in coming decades.2erectile dysfunction treatment threatens to derail progress on cardiovascular health even furtherCardiovascular practitioners are now under greater pressure to deliver the same or better care in the context of a levitra.

erectile dysfunction treatment has hit cardiovascular care particularly hard. WHO surveys recently found that cardiovascular services have been partially or completely disrupted in nearly half of countries with community spread of erectile dysfunction treatment, raising the chance of increased cardiovascular mortality in these locations.3Two studies published in this issue of Heart shed more light on the specific effects of erectile dysfunction treatment on health systems in Brazil and the UK. Brant et al looked at cardiovascular mortality in six Brazilian capital cities.4 Ball et al tracked disruptions in acute cardiovascular services across nine UK hospitals.5 Taken together, these two studies quantify what many readers of this Journal have experienced firsthand.

The restructuring of hospital services to cope with an influx of erectile dysfunction treatment cases, combined with social distancing measures, has severely limited access to cardiovascular care, adversely impacting patient outcomes.Although Ball et al did not attempt to link reduced service delivery to mortality outcomes, other studies from the UK have estimated excess cardiovascular deaths during erectile dysfunction treatment.5 Brant et al posited that excess cardiovascular mortality in Brazil was partly due to avoidance of care (ie, increases cardiovascular deaths occurring at home).4 They also found that healthcare system collapse in more socioeconomically deprived states was associated with increased acute coronary syndrome and stroke deaths in these states, independent of the uptick in deaths at home.A comprehensive responseWhat can be done about these disruptions?. The relationship between erectile dysfunction treatment and cardiovascular health can be separated into two issues that require different responses. First, persons living with cardiovascular diseases have worse outcomes when they acquire erectile dysfunction treatment.

On the other hand, persons living with cardiovascular disease or major risk factors are also at increased risk of death from cardiovascular mechanisms (eg, thrombotic events or heart failure) when their access to acute care services is interrupted. Health systems, patients and patient-system interactions are implicated in both of these issues.Figure 1 illustrates how an appropriate policy response should consider all of the elements mentioned above, with the overarching goal being to reduce deaths from any cause (erectile dysfunction treatment or otherwise) among persons living with cardiovascular diseases or major risk factors. Importantly, the actions specified in the figure 1 can be adapted to all populations and countries, regardless of health system resource levels.

With such a framework in mind, practitioners and researchers could then structure their work and advocacy around two key messages.Message 1. The global and national levitra responses cannot be separated from the cardiovascular health agendaCritical elements of a comprehensive policy response to cardiovascular disease during erectile dysfunction treatment. The elements proposed above can be modified to fit the resource levels and epidemiological contexts of different countries.

Areas marked in red are those likely to translate into the largest short-term mortality gains. Areas marked in yellow or green, while important for prevention, health promotion or stewardship objectives, are less likely to reduce mortality." data-icon-position data-hide-link-title="0">Figure 1 Critical elements of a comprehensive policy response to cardiovascular disease during erectile dysfunction treatment. The elements proposed above can be modified to fit the resource levels and epidemiological contexts of different countries.

Areas marked in red are those likely to translate into the largest short-term mortality gains. Areas marked in yellow or green, while important for prevention, health promotion or stewardship objectives, are less likely to reduce mortality.Outcomes from infectious diseases are usually worse among patients with multimorbidity, and erectile dysfunction treatment is no different. As cardiovascular practitioners, scientists and advocates, we need to articulate the substantial benefits of levitra mitigation efforts to persons living with cardiovascular diseases or risk factors.

In parallel, accelerated investment in population-level prevention efforts would reduce the future burden of cardiovascular disease on health systems and reduce the number of persons at high risk of complications from future levitras or outbreaks.In much of the global health community, investments in acute care and in cardiovascular diseases are often perceived to be non-essentialâor even anti-equityâand are almost never given serious consideration within health and development programmes. We need to forcefully push back on such short-sighted thinking. Collaborators on the Disease Control Priorities Project recently released guidance for low-income and middle-income and humanitarian settings, including a list of 120 essential health services to protect during the levitra.

On value-for-money grounds, basic cardiovascular disease prevention and care are just as âessentialâ as immunisation programmes, maternal healthcare and screening and treatment of HIV .6At the same time, locations with advanced cardiovascular care systems need guidance on how to balance the need to treat severe cardiovascular disease against the need to adapt quickly to increased erectile dysfunction treatment caseloads. Ball et al found that emergency department visits and percutaneous coronary intervention procedure rates in UK hospitals had partially rebounded by the end of May 2020.5 Assuming the top objective is to maximise health, emergency cardiac care and interventional services should be brought back online before phasing in other semi-elective vascular procedures (even if the latter provide substantial revenues to hospitals). Critically, more must be done to encourage patients with acute cardiac or neurological symptoms to seek care even in the face of potential erectile dysfunction treatment exposure.

Initiatives like the American Heart Associationâs âDonât Die of Doubtâ campaign7 should be examined, adapted and disseminated widely to complement supply-side efforts to improve access.Message 2. Priorities for cardiovascular science must pivot, capitalising on lessons learnt during the levitraIt is increasingly clear that levitras and emerging s, driven by globalisation and climate change, will continue to threaten health systems in the coming decades. Cardiovascular research and development priorities must adapt to this emerging reality.

We need new technologies, programmes and care systems that protect what is working during erectile dysfunction treatment and transform what is not. In addition, the levitra has illuminatedâand in many cases magnifiedâinequalities in cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular research funders should prioritise development of truly âglobalâ public goods that can immediately benefit the health of the worldâs poorest as well as vulnerable populations in the global North.2How could the cardiovascular research community make this pivot?.

Table 1 proposes several principles for cardiovascular research and development priorities amid and beyond the erectile dysfunction treatment levitra. Not every concept in table 1 will be directly applicable to every research initiative, but they could be used by funders as benchmarks for developing or revising their strategies and scoring proposals.View this table:Table 1 Proposed principles to guide cardiovascular research and development prioritiesManagement of acute coronary syndromes exemplifies the need for a research and development pivot. Our ability to reduce case fatality from acute coronary syndromes is based on prompt delivery of interventions or fibrinolysis.

Researchers and planners have worked for years to improve referral and triage systems to increase access to these life-saving technologies. Yet when viewed through the lens of erectile dysfunction treatment, it is problematic that the cornerstone of acute coronary syndrome management is early access to a referral hospital. We need new technologies, like home-based diagnostics and smartphone-based triage and referral processes, that can circumvent time and distance bottlenecks.

We also need new drugs (available at home) that bridge to interventions or replace them entirely. Such technologies are especially needed in low-income and middle-income countries, where systems are less advanced and timely access is more difficult to achieve (eg, in majority-rural countries).More generally, new technologies should âdisruptâ care systems in a way that makes cardiovascular care more patient-centred, community-facing and responsive to population needs. The notion that healthcare by default requires a physical building (separate from oneâs home or work) should quickly become antiquated.

The greater use of telemedicine during the levitra is a big step in this direction, but we have yet to hardness the full potential of mobile devices and wearablesâtechnologies that are already widely available and will become ubiquitous in low-income and middle-income countries much more quickly than new clinics or hospitals. Innovators and health planners in resource-limited countries could collaborate to develop âleapfrogâ cardiovascular health programmes that do not rely on the inefficient, slow-to-adapt and labour-intensive models used in the global North.The future of cardiovascular health and researchIn the midst of the debate over the future of cardiovascular care, we should not to lose sight of the âendgameâ.8 In the long term, it would be far better to live in a world where the prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health is high and the lifetime disease risk is low. In such a world, the impact of another levitra on cardiovascular services and patients would be lessened greatly.

Aggressive action is needed to fully implement policies and health services that we know can help achieve this goal in a cost-effective manner. Still, in order to accomplish the endgame, we need better evidence on how to design policy instruments that can minimise dietary risks and barriers to optimal physical activityâthe most challenging of the risk factors to tackle.2erectile dysfunction treatment has left an indelible mark on human health. At the end of 2019, many of us in the cardiovascular health community were probably quite comfortable with business as usual and with incremental improvements in science and clinical practice.

The events of 2020 have raised the stakes, forcing us to become more accepting of disruptions (creative or otherwise). We must use this opportunity to think more boldly..

The erectile dysfunction treatment levitra continues to negatively impact population health by indirect effects on patient and where to buy levitra in singapore healthcare systems, in addition to the article direct effects of erectile dysfunction treatment itself. Accurate and quantitative information about the indirect effects of the erectile dysfunction treatment levitra on cardiovascular disease (CVD) services and outcomes will allow better public health planning. Ball and colleagues1 aim to âdesign and implement a simple tool for monitoring and visualising trends in CVD hospital services in the UKâ where to buy levitra in singapore and towards that end they present pilot data from a preliminary cohort of nine UK hospitals in this issue of Heart. Comparing 6 months in 2019â2020 (that include the erectile dysfunction treatment lockdown in the UK) to the same time period in 2018â2019, there was a 57.9% decrease in total hospital admissions and a 52.9% decrease in emergency department visits (figure 1).

In addition, there was a 31%â88%âdecline during lockdown in procedures for treatment of cardiac, cerebrovascular and other vascular conditions.Overall hospital activity (admissions, ED attendances and erectile dysfunction treatment admissions) between 31 October 2019 and 10 May 2020 compared with the same weeks from 2018 to 2019.

They conclude. ÂExcess cardiovascular mortality was greater in the less developed cities, possibly where to buy levitra in singapore associated with healthcare collapse. Specified cardiovascular deaths decreased in the most developed cities, in parallel with an increase in unspecified cardiovascular and home deaths, presumably as a result of misdiagnosis.

Physicians who provide certain imaging services (MRI, CT, and PET) under the in-office ancillary services exception to the physician self-referral prohibition are required to provide the disclosure notice as well as the list of other imaging suppliers to the patient.
