Aug 14th, 2022 - Cardiovascular disease contributes to a high rate of morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation (LT). However, the progression of cardiac function and cardiac remodeling in LT recipients remains poorly understood. This study sought to eva...

Aug 14th, 2022 - There is increasing recognition of the prevalence and impact of cognitive dysfunction (CD) in heart failure (HF) patients. This contemporary review appraises the evidence for epidemiological association, direct pathophysiological links and emergin...

Aug 14th, 2022 - A heart failure model using coronary microembolization in large animals is indispensable for medical research. However, the heterogeneity of myocardial response to microembolization is a limitation. We hypothesized that adjusting the number of inj...

Aug 13th, 2022 - Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the gold standard for the assessment of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF). Previous studies have suggested that RVEF may be a predictor of adverse outcomes in heart failure (HF). In this stud...

Aug 13th, 2022 - Electrical storm is defined as three or more sustained episodes of ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or appropriate cardioverter-defibrillator shocks during a 24-h period. These patients are notoriously difficult to manage. We pre...

Aug 13th, 2022 - This guideline synthesizes clinical trial data supporting the role of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) for treatment of heart failure (HF), chronic kidney disease, and for optimizing...

Jun 7th, 2022 - Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined by the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of other potentially causative cardiac, systemic, syndromic, or metabolic diseases. Symptoms can be related to a range of pathophysiologic ...

Apr 17th, 2022 - An integrated, coordinated, and patient-centered approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) care delivery may improve outcomes and reduce cost. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding from key stakeholder groups on current practices...

Apr 6th, 2022 - The "2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure" replaces the "2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure" and the "2017 ACC/AHA/HFSA Focused Update of the 2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart F...

Aug 12th, 2022 - Patients will be determined as Group A: Acukupuncture group and Group C as Control group and 35 patients will be included in the study. Both groups will be given an intravenous (i.v) route in the preoperative patient room, PGE2, IL 6 will be taken...

Aug 12th, 2022 - Fibroblast activated protein (FAP) is a type II membrane-bound glycoprotein that is highly specifically expressed in activated fibroblast reactions. The 68Ga labeled fibroblast activated protein inhibitor (68 ga-fapi) has shown advantages of high ...

Aug 12th, 2022 - Primary Aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, accounting for 6-8% of hypertension and 14-25% of resistant hypertension. This prevalence translates to approximately 1 in 30-50 adults or about 4,000,000 Americans wit...

Aug 12th, 2022 - Participants will be asked to initiate self-care sessions using the Medly Uganda application. They will dial the sub-code and enter a unique PIN to access the system. They are asked to do this every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning for six mo...
