Peripheral artery disease is a major health problem. It affects over 200 million people globally. It results in considerable suffering, curtailed functionality, and markedly reduced quality of life. Its presence prognosticates significantly higher major cardiovascular events. Ath...
Cardiac arrhythmias are common in clinical practice. The two most common are atrial fibrillation and malignant ventricular arrhythmias leading to sudden cardiac death. As noted in part I of this two-part manuscript, a plant-based diet, and fish intake appear to reduce the inciden...
The heart is a mechanical pump that contracts in response to the action potential, a bioelectrical signal. The action potential starts in the sinus node cells and travels through both atria, causing them to contract. The atrioventricular (AV) node is the next stage of signal tran...
Cardiomyopathy is commonly observed disease that may occurs due to mutations in either susceptible genes or modifier gene. People with broad age group are affected either attributable to spontaneous or inherited mutations of these genes. Various gene mutations are reported so far...
Tako-tsubo Syndrome is a cardiomyopathy that may mimick acute coronary syndrome, in the absence of significant coronary lesions, characterized by contractile dysfunction often localized in the apical region of the left ventricle, its pathophysiology remains uncertain and its tre...
