Sep 17th, 2020 - Cardiac involvement as a complication of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in children is a relatively new entity. We present our initial experience managing children with COVID-19-related acute myocardial inju...

Sep 17th, 2020 - Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders that increase the risk for atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of AF, anticoagulation management, and risk of stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in...

Sep 16th, 2020 - Despite the existence of many studies, there are still limited data about the characteristics of myocarditis in Greece. This led to the creation of the Greek Myocarditis Registry aiming to document the different symptoms and treatment of myocardit...

Sep 16th, 2020 - Poisoning due to ingestion of yellow phosphorus (YP) containing rodenticide accounts for 17% of all poisoning in India and 0.3% in the USA.(1,2) YP disrupts oxidative phosphorylation and protein synthesis causing acute liver failure (ALF), renal i...

Sep 15th, 2020 - Myocarditis is well known to be caused by viral infections such as Coxsackie virus group B, human herpes virus 6 and parvovirus B19. However, during the current emerging outbreak of SARS-CoV-2, there have been few case reports describing myocardit...

Jun 12th, 2019 - Myocarditis after the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors is a potentially fatal complication. Immune suppression with glucocorticoids is often effective once the problem is identified. In a patient with glucocorticoid-refractory disease, use of a...

Dec 18th, 2018 - Myocardial diseases are associated with an increased risk of potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death/cardiac arrest during exercise, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, left ventricular non-compact...

Aug 9th, 2017 - Sudden death in young competitive athletes can be avoided by implementation of pre-participation screening programmes. A screening programme should be performed only by trained physicians and should include the athlete's personal and family histor...

Aug 22nd, 2019 - The usual risk factors for myocarditis may not apply to who gets it while on immune checkpoint inhibiting cancer drugs, an FDA adverse event database suggested. Myocarditis associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) was nearly twice as li...

Jun 17th, 2019 - Safety “The safety profile was as expected for the components of the combination, and no new safety signals were observed,” Dr. Kline said.
