Many challenges are posed by the experience of a heart attack or heart surgery which can be characterised as ‘cardiac distress’. It spans multiple psychosocial domains incorporating patients’ responses to phys...
For more than eight decades, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has remained the leading cause of death in the world. CVD risk factors are multifaceted, with genetics and lifestyle both playing a role. The aim of th...
Bilirubin is a heme catabolism product with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties and is implicated in the prognosis of several diseases. This study evaluates the prognostic role of bil...
Left atrial (LA) conduction velocity (CV) is an electrical remodeling parameter of atrial fibrillation (AF) substrate. However, the pathophysiological substrate of LA-CV and its impact on outcomes after cathet...
Drug non-adherence is assumed to play an important role in development of hypertensive urgency, which is a common health problem resulting in frequent emergency department admissions and thus increased healthc...
Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that DNA methylation may be associated with the pathological mechanism of AAD, but the panorama of DNA meth...
Periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the incidence predictors and prognosis of PMI in ch...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Studies have shown that vascular calcification is a major predictor of CVD. V...
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) caused by Staphylococcus aureus in the postpartum period is a rare but life-threatening disease. We present a case of acute heart failure as the initial presentation of TSS due to methi...
Head-up tilt test (HUTT) is clinically advantageous for diagnosing patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS). Nitroglycerin is mainly used as a stimulant during HUTT, and mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (AL...
Very short duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has recently attracted a lot of attention with the introduction of newer generations stents. This is a...
