We report the case of a 47 years-old female who presented to the emergency department with acute pain and coldness in the left lower limb 5 months after surgical closure of atrial septal defects. Initial examination was consistent with a clinical presentation of acute limb ischem...
Aim: To study the management outcomes of heart failure therapy with SGLT2-inhibitors added to conventional therapy and to compare its effect in diabetic and non- diabetic heart f ailure patients. Methods: This is a prospective observational study done at the Department of Cardiol...
Peripheral artery disease is a major health problem. It affects over 200 million people globally. It results in considerable suffering, curtailed functionality, and markedly reduced quality of life. Its presence prognosticates significantly higher major cardiovascular events. Ath...
Cardiac arrhythmias are common in clinical practice. The two most common are atrial fibrillation and malignant ventricular arrhythmias leading to sudden cardiac death. As noted in part I of this two-part manuscript, a plant-based diet, and fish intake appear to reduce the inciden...
The heart is a mechanical pump that contracts in response to the action potential, a bioelectrical signal. The action potential starts in the sinus node cells and travels through both atria, causing them to contract. The atrioventricular (AV) node is the next stage of signal tran...
Cardiomyopathy is commonly observed disease that may occurs due to mutations in either susceptible genes or modifier gene. People with broad age group are affected either attributable to spontaneous or inherited mutations of these genes. Various gene mutations are reported so far...
Tako-tsubo Syndrome is a cardiomyopathy that may mimick acute coronary syndrome, in the absence of significant coronary lesions, characterized by contractile dysfunction often localized in the apical region of the left ventricle, its pathophysiology remains uncertain and its tre...
A middle aged female presented with recurrent left sided pleural effusion. Pleuroscopy revealed a well circumscribed pleural mass. Biopsy from that mass revealed features of capillary haemangioma. She was successfully treated by surgical excision of the pleural mass. The case is...
Background: Ebstein's anomaly is a complex congenital malformation of the tricuspid valve. Introduction to newborn and (baby) health is common. The severity and medical features of the disease vary widely and require appropriate treatment for the patient. This review describes th...
Background: Clinical diagnosis of PE (PE) is not reliable enough to determine treatment, but it is important to classify patients as high, moderate, and low embolism. Laboratory tests can be combined with lung scans to identify groups of patients with a high or low likelihood of...
Background: Recently, new concepts have been developed for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of aortic dissection. The purpose of this article is to explain the current state of knowledge on this topic and discuss related topics. New data on the etiology of aortic diss...
A young patient, aged 31 years old, initially presented to other facility with complaints of mild fever, throat pain, and generalized myalgia. His COVID19 test came out positive, confirming that the patient was suffering from COVID19. Since the patient’s chest CT scan was normal...
Background: the first manifestations of cardiogenic pulmonary edema include hemodynamic pulmonary congestion and high capillary pressure. This causes fluid to flow from the capillaries into the interstitium and alveolar spaces. High capillary pressure can also cause blockage, inc...
Background: HF heart failure is a serious cardiovascular disease with its increased incidence, serious illness, high mortality and rapidly increasing medical costs. HF patients are increasing worldwide and South Korea is no exception. Over the past 40 years, there have been signi...
Background: Despite indications that environmental heavy metals; Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd) and Mercury (Hg) exposure may play important role in the pathogenesis of Cardiovascular diseases and thus heart failure, it has not been investigated in Black-African human popu...
