Post cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) is characterized by the development of pericarditis with or without pericardial effusion due to a recent cardiac injury. The relatively low incidence makes diagnosis of PCIS...
Uncontrolled blood pressure is an important medical and public health problem in developing countries like Ethiopia. Improving the management of hypertension requires a better comprehension of the factors infl...
Acute type B aortic dissection (ABAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease. A practicable and effective prediction model to predict and evaluate the risk of in-hospital death for ABAD is required. The ...

There is a close relationship between blood pressure levels and the risk of cardiovascular events, strokes, and kidney disease. For many years, the gold standard instrument for blood pressure measurement was a...
The study of polymorphisms and their relationship with diseases is very important for risk assessment. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between early risk of coronary artery disease(CAD)...
ST elevation myocardial infarction is defined as acute myocardial injury with necrosis due to myocardial ischemia. The frequent cause is thrombotic occlusion of atherosclerotic coronary arteries. In particular...
Depression, generalized and cardiac anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder negatively affect disease severity, participation, and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Psychological treatments...
There are limited data on the impact of imaging modality selection for the assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk on downstream resource utilisation. This study sought to identify differences between...
This is a reply to the letter titled “Understanding lactate and its clearance during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for supporting refractory cardiogenic shock patients” by Eva Rully Kurniawati et al. In ...
Renal denervation (RDN) has emerged in recent years as a possible treatment for hypertension. The first sham-controlled trial showed a small magnitude and non-significant in the blood pressure (BP) lowering ef...
Revascularization in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease remains a challenge in cardiology practice. Although clinical trials have reported the mid-term superiority of coronary artery bypass graftin...
Congenital absence of the pericardium (CAP) is rare in clinical practice, the symptoms vary among patients, and most doctors do not have enough knowledge of the condition. Most reported CAP cases are incidenta...
To investigate whether left atrial (LA) volume and left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) change during adenosine delivered myocardial hyperaemia as part o...
Individual risk estimation is an essential part of cardiovascular (CV) disease prevention. Several imaging parameters have been studied for this purpose. Based on mounting evidence, international guidelines re...
Diabetes is a serious and quickly expanding global health problem. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Coronary slow flow (CSF) is characterise...
Low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) are the mainstay of treatment for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, bleeding, the main side effect, is associated with prolonged hospitalization and mortality. There...
The integration of patient–reported outcome measures (PROMS) into health care delivery systems is being increasingly recognized as an important component of quality, person-centered care, especially for chroni...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered an independent risk factor for COVID-19. However, no study has specifically examined the clinical manifestations and outcomes of COVID-19 in patients with ischemic h...
Serum vitamin D deficiency is common in the patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the association between serum vitamin D levels and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CVD is controversial.
Restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) limits therapeutic revascularization. Neuropeptide Y (NPY), co-stored and co-released with the sympathetic nervous system, is involved in this process,...
Currently, in the majority of patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) treatment consists of optimal medical treatment, potentially followed by coronary angiography and subsequent coronary revascularisation ...
