UNASSIGNED: We employed resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to acquire imaging data in twenty-six patients with CHD alongside sixteen healthy controls (HCs). Next, we performed a thalamus-based FC analysis to profile abnormal FC patterns in the whole brain. Subsequently, the mean time series of the brain regions that survived in the FC analysis were used to determine correlations with clinical parameters in patients with CHD.
UNASSIGNED: We found no statistically significant differences in demographic and clinical data between patients with CHD and HCs. Patients with CHD showed decreased FC patterns between bilateral thalami and left hemisphere, encompassing supplementary motor area, superior frontal gyrus, superior parietal gyrus, inferior parietal gyrus, middle cingulate cortex, lingual gyrus and calcarine sulcus.
UNASSIGNED: These findings not only have implications in clarifying the relationship between cerebral functional imbalance and cardiovascular system, but also provide valuable insights to guide future evaluation and management of cardiac autonomic regulation via the brain-heart axis.
UNASSIGNED:我们采用静息态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)采集26例冠心病患者和16例健康对照(HCs)的影像学数据。
UNASSIGNED:我们发现CHD和HCs患者的人口统计学和临床数据没有统计学上的显著差异。
UNASSIGNED:这些发现不仅对阐明脑功能失衡与心血管系统之间的关系有意义,
