Overweight and obesity are currently among the most important risk factors: an increase in BMI of 5 kg/m2 leads to a 30% increase in overall mortality and a 40% increase in vascular mortality for coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, and other vascular diseases. ...
Accurate and reliable quantitative evaluation of LA size and function are necessary for the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease and prediction of prognosis. ...
Myocardial infarction and cardiac failure is a major source of morbidity and mortality globally. Current treatment strategies are mostly palliative and suboptimal. Stem cell based treatment strategy for tissue regeneration has proven value in the treatment of some conditions. The optimal treatment of myocardial infarction/heart failure lays in restoration and maintenance of adequate functional myocardial syntitium. ...
The aim was to create a model of myocardial infarction (MI) with a borderline myocardial impairment which would enable to evaluate the retrograde cellular cardiomyoplasty (CCM) through the coronary sinus (CS) in a large animal model. ...
Cardiovascular diseases like cancer continues to accounts for millions of death and lost productivity in the USA so finding a moon shot to cure cardiovascular disease and cancer could be the defining moments in medicine as was the discovery of penicillin to fight infection about half a century ago. Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability ...
Preserving the subvalvular mitral apparatus has been recognized as necessary for improvement of-left ventricular systolic function after mitral valve replacement. ...
The present report aims to identify the association between the body mass index and the cardiac parameters of the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients in the Worcester heart attack study (WHAS). Based on the separate analyses of body mass index (BMI), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), on the remaining other variables/ factors, many cardiac parameters (BMI) have (has) been identified ...
Takayasu's arteritis is rare, but most commonly seen in Japan, South East Asia, India, and Mexico. Incidence of TA is 2.6/million/year, affects usually female and usually presents in the 2nd or 3rd decade of life. We intend to report a case where a Bangladeshi female presented at an unusual age of 52 years with rather atypical presentations like multiple joint pain and swelling with a very uncommon association of hyperthyroidism. ...
This case control study attempted to determine the relationship between irregular intake of antihypertensive drugs and stroke among hypertensive patients. Demographic profile of the patients was analyzed thoroughly, and risk factors among those characteristics were also sought. ...
Hypertension is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a major contributor to a large percentage of heart failure cases as it causes left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure overload due to an increase in vascular resistance for"… due to an increase in vascular stiffness… ". which results in various LV geometric changes that progresses to diastolic heart failure and/or heart failure with LV systolic dysfunction ...
A 65 years old women presented in cardiac outpatient department with history of palpitation for the last 8 months, Initially she didn`t notice it but with the passage of time palpitation was associated with exertional dyspnea.It was mild dyspnea, there was no associated history of orthopnea, pnd, exertional ...
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction (MI), and sudden cardiac death. With paucity of data on long-term outcomes of patients with SCAD and lack of randomized clinical trials in this group of patients, the optimal management ...
Cardiovascular diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality causing more than 25% of deaths in the Indian subcontinent [1,2]. Atherosclerotic disease is expected to become the leading cause of global morbidity and mortality by 2020 [1]. According to an estimate, nearly one hundred thousand individuals suffered an acute myocardial infarction ...
Thirty percent of deaths due to acute myocardial infarction occur before patients arrive at a hospital; thus prehospital care plays a critical role in the management of this disease. Accurate history taking is the most important step in this management, as about two-thirds of all cases of acute myocardial infarction show prodromal symptoms prior to onset. Characteristic symptoms are chest discomfort, including sensations of strangulation and pressure or pain in the chest. ...
Intrapericardialor mediastinal teratoma if detected intrauterine in fetal life, the mortality will be less. Tumor size can be large and associated with pericardial effusion, the combination of which leads to progressive cardiac tamponade, fetal hydrops, and death. In the neonatal age group most of these tumors are benign and mediastinal teratomas despite ...
Standard 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) is a widely available technology that is routinely applied in the setting of chest pain to identify patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who would benefit from primary PCI [1]. The use of ECG to predict the location of the culprit coronary lesion within the infarct-related artery (IRA) could provide ...
