Myosin is defined as a mechano-enzyme molecule which converts the chemical energy stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into mechanical energy (muscle contraction). Moreover, the cardiac muscle has different types of myosin heavy chain when it separated with the one dimensional...
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is commonly seen in patients with Down syndrome (DS) and is closely associated with morbidity and mortality. Maternal age is an established risk factor for DS. Objectives: The aim of the present study is to analyze the incidence of CHD i...
Background: Poisoning with Thevetia peruviana (yellow oleander) is commonly observed in Northern and Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka causing significant morbidity and mortality. It contains cardiac glycosides which are toxic to cardiac muscle that results in cardiovascular dysrh...
Background: The imbalance of the adipoinsular axis has been shown recently to predispose to cardio renal syndromes. Epigenetics, which deals with the metabolic influences on genetic signaling, is a new concept. Diabetes during gestation can also cause an inflammatory response in...
Often linked with several complications and comorbidities, studies have shown Diabetes mellitus (DM) as a common, chronic disease across the globe. This study was designed to explore the CVD risk factors among Type 2 DM patients in a tertiary hospital in South-East, Nigeria. Seve...
Aims: Brugada syndrome is characterised by ST segment elevation in right precordial leads and associated sometimes with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation leading to sudden cardiac death. Although ECG recording at higher intercostal space unmasks Brugada syndrome, the vectorcard...
Importance: There has been increasing interest in use of testosterone therapy (TT) beyond patients with hypogonadism to include younger men without documented hormone measurements for the purpose of improving libido, sexual function, bone density, and body mass. However, there is...

Aims: Plasmalogens are unique phospholipid of biological membrane and is considered to play a potent role of intrinsic antioxidant. Atherosclerosis is associated with oxidative stress, but the correlation between plasmalogens and atherosclerosis is debatable. Therefore, this stud...
Background: Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) are defined as malformations of the heart and great vessels that develop in utero which may manifest at birth or later in childhood. They can be caused by numerous genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors are nonmodifiable. Ho...
Background: Preeclampsia is defined as new onset hypertension and albuminuria in previously normotensive pregnant women after 20 weeks of pregnancy. There is no cure; management is reliant on a structured antenatal surveillance programme and antihypertensives. Recent advances in...
