Background: Heart failure is a condition where the heart's ability to pump enough blood to support normal metabolic functions is impaired. This causes the heart's resting pressure to rise. Since it has afflicted about 26 million people globally, some authors believe that HF is cu...
Exercise testing (ET) is a noninvasive test used both in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia and in the risk stratification of sudden death in Wolff-Parkinson-white syndrome (WPW). However, in the latter, there are often false-positive results through ST-segment depression even...
Background: Bhramari Pranayama (humming bee breath), involves inhalation through both nostrils, followed by exhalation mimicking the sound of a humming bee. This simplistic yogic practice is often recommended for patients suffering from hypertension. However, there is currently a...
Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality and its prevalence is expected to increase because of the aging population, increased prevalence of risk factors and improved post myocardial infarction survival. There is a relationship betwee...
Background: The biggest cause of death worldwide is dyslipidemia, a significant risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Additionally, individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at high risk for cardiovascular comorbidities. Currently available allopathic treatment...
Background: Cardiac amyloidosis corresponds to a buildup of fibrillar proteins in the myocardium. It is characterized by non-specific signs that often lead to a late diagnosis, even though it is an emergency in some cases. Objective: This case report emphasizes the very long rout...
Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a cardiomyopathy due to disturbances in the normal development of the heart muscle leading to the persistence of hypertrabeculation. Its incidence is more common in males. The most common clinical presentations at the time of the first di...

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms are rare. They are usually form from a rupture of the myocardium contained by pericardial adhesions. Unlike true aneurysms, false aneurysms have a narrow neck and lack myocardial elements. They can be constituted spontaneously or acquired. We repo...
Introduction: Interventricular septal rupture occurring in the acute phase of a myocardial infarction is a rare complication, its incidence varies between 1 and 2%. We present the observation of two patients with myocardial infarction complicated by apical rupture of the interven...
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare coronary disease defined as a dilation of a coronary artery 1.5 times or more its normal size. It is often revealed by an acute myocardial infarction however sometimes it can be completely asymptomatic .Because of the relative rarity of t...
Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is one of the well-recognized chronic vascular conditions characterized by the compromised blood circulation to the extremities. PAD is due to deposition of cholesterol, calcium associated with endothelial dysfunction. PAD is common i...
