May 11th, 2020 - Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and account for more than 17.9 million deaths (World Health Organization report). Hypertension and aging are two major risk factors for the development of cardiac s...

Mar 31st, 2020 - Hypertensive heart disease is associated with sinoatrial node (SAN) dysfunction and reductions in heart rate variability (HRV). Alterations in HRV could occur in association with changes in autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, SAN function, an...

Mar 26th, 2020 - Athlete's heart is typically accompanied by a remodelling of the cardiac chambers induced by exercise. However, although competitive athletes are commonly considered healthy, they can be affected by cardiac disorders characterised by an increase i...

Mar 23rd, 2020 - Cardiac hypertrophy and renal damage associated with hypertension are independent predictors of morbidity and mortality. In a model of hypertensive heart disease and renal damage, we tested the actions of continuous administration of Vastiras, a n...

Mar 13th, 2020 - Basal septal hypertrophy (BSH) is commonly seen in patients with systemic hypertension and has been associated with increased afterload. The impact of localized hypertrophy on left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) function is still unclear. O...

May 17th, 2017 - While the overall mortality rate from cardiovascular disease (CVD) has declined by about 50% across the United States in recent decades, extensive variation in related deaths persists between counties, particularly for hypertensive heart disease, ...

Feb 1st, 2017 - Atrial flutter is a cardiac arrhythmia characterized by atrial rates of 240-400 beats/min, usually with some degree of atrioventricular (AV) node conduction block (eg, 2:1 or 3:1 block). Approximately 60% of patients with atrial flutter have coron...

Jul 20th, 2015 - Even when a patient is repeatedly admitted to the hospital for heart failure exacerbations, the underlying cause may be missed, say clinicians from Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One of those causes could be senile a.
