Background: Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome, a pre-excitation condition that develops in 0.1-0.3% of the overall population, is brought on by the existence of an accessory atrioventricular circuit. With varied levels of difficulty and accuracy, many algorithms have been put...

Research Article10.9734/jammr/2022/v34i244908
Background: Young adults, especially those under 35, are often overlooked; however, previous studies have shown that coronary artery disease (CAD) incidence increases rapidly. Previous studies proved many risk factors for CAD, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and s...

Research Article10.9734/ca/2021/v10i430178
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been an effective and widely used treatment for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The presence of anaemia in critically ill patients undergoing surgical procedures has been associated with worse clinical outcomes...

Background: Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with a prevalence as high as 1.5±2.0% in the general population. This arrhythmia remains one of the major causes of stroke, heart failure, sudden death, and cardiovascular morbidity in the wor...

Research Article10.9734/ca/2021/v10i130160
Background: The no-reflow phenomenon is critical and, if not reversed, causes a high rate of morbidity and mortality. It was demonstrated that the no-reflow phenomenon after Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is a strong predictor of mortality after the acute event...

Research Article10.9734/jammr/2020/v32i2130699
Background: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance of stent implantation can help optimal stent deployment in comparison to angiographic guidance alone. Thus, IVUS guidance might enhance short and long-term clinical outcomes of cases performing percutaneous coronary interventio...
