A young patient, aged 31 years old, initially presented to other facility with complaints of mild fever, throat pain, and generalized myalgia. His COVID19 test came out positive, confirming that the patient was suffering from COVID19. Since the patient’s chest CT scan was normal...
Background: the first manifestations of cardiogenic pulmonary edema include hemodynamic pulmonary congestion and high capillary pressure. This causes fluid to flow from the capillaries into the interstitium and alveolar spaces. High capillary pressure can also cause blockage, inc...
Background: HF heart failure is a serious cardiovascular disease with its increased incidence, serious illness, high mortality and rapidly increasing medical costs. HF patients are increasing worldwide and South Korea is no exception. Over the past 40 years, there have been signi...
Background: Despite indications that environmental heavy metals; Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd) and Mercury (Hg) exposure may play important role in the pathogenesis of Cardiovascular diseases and thus heart failure, it has not been investigated in Black-African human popu...

Context and Purpose: Stable angina is one of the first manifestations or warning signs of underlying coronary disease. However we have very few studies on this pathology in sub-Saharan African population. Therefore we aimed to study the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinical a...
Takayasu's disease is a rare chronic inflammatory vasculitis, preferentially affecting young women with predominance on the aorta and its first branches. We report the case of a left ostial common trunk involvement during a hypertensive emergency such as ST-negative acute coronar...
Aim: The sensitivity and specificity of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiopulmonary bypasses (CPB) in predicting arrhythmia remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of CPB duration and cTnI with the type of arrhythmias. Study Design: It is a retrospective...
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are surreptitiously increasing in developing countries unlike the declining trend in the developed world. Screening for risk factors is vital for early detection and control of these diseases. The University community; being compositely mixed,...
Left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a genetic cardiomyopathy, characterized by prominent left ventricular trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. Relatively few responsible genes have been identified. Plakophilin-2 (PKP2) is a component of the desmos...
Background. There is evidence that points towards an increased preponderance of CVD among Bangladeshi American adults. Yet, most health data on Bangladeshi Americans were derived from New York studies or were clustered with other Asian subgroups. Aim. To determine whether there i...

Background: Left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes, especially in patients with coexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using rotational atherectomy (RA) and newer generation drug-eluting...
We report an extremely rare case of congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (CCTGA) (Pic. 1) associated with interrupted aortic arch (IAA) type A (Pic. 2) and a ventricular septal defect (VSD), in a preterm infant born at 36 weeks of gestation with a birth weight...
Aims: To provide reference ranges for the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) diameter by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in children, and compare the measurements with two-dimensional (2D) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Place and duration of study: Lausanne Uni...
This study was designed to examine the cardioprotective effects of a combination of melatonin (10 mg / Kg BW) + alpha lipoic acid (25 mg / Kg BW) [M + A] against cardiac oxyradical alterations due to chromium toxicity in rats. Apart from monitoring electrocardiograph parameters,...
Background: Life quality of patients with advanced heart failure was strongly impacted by symptom distress. Illness trajectory of end-stage heart faliure varies significantly, and the unpredictable compensation imbalance may be life threatening and lead to death. At the end stage...
