Anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery is a congenital heart defect in which it arises from the right coronary sinus. This anomaly carries a high risk of sudden death. The diagnosis can be made by ultrasound examination. Silent myocardial ischemia must be sought. Vario...
Amyloidosis is a systemic disease characterized by extracellular infiltration of amyloid fibrils. Cardiac involvement, marked by nonspecific clinical signs, significantly influences prognosis. Initially considered rare, this involvement is increasingly diagnosed through imaging t...
Background: Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a pervasive health issue worldwide, and its prevalence is particularly concerning among cardiac patients in Bangladesh. Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the country, and h...
Background: Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most prevalent congenital heart abnormality, comprising a quarter of all cases. When these VSDs are small and cause a left-to-right shunt, patients often remain asymptomatic, with the condition typically detected during routine p...

Stroke is a clinical syndrome characterized by rapidly developing clinical symptoms of focal (or global, in the case of coma) brain dysfunction lasting more than 24 hours or causing death with no apparent cause other than vascular. Stroke is broadly divided into subarachnoid hemo...
Introduction: Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs) are the most common congenital anomalies in the world but there is a paucity of data regarding possible causes or risk factors. Babies born with severe forms of these defects are likely to die in the neonatal period. Objectives: The a...
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs due to reduced or blocked blood flow in the heart's coronary artery, leading to damage to the heart muscle. Prompt medical intervention is crucial to restore blood circulation and improve pati...

Echocardiography is a non-invasive cardiac examination that provides structural and functional information regarding cardiovascular diseases. It is useful in diagnosis as well as in follow-up of patients with cardiovascular diseases. The advent of echocardiography has already rev...
Background: Cardiac metastases are among the rarest in oncology, usually silent and rarely attracting clinical attention, often discovered at autopsy. Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor, and its usual metastatic sites are the lung, bone, brain, soft tissue, and...
Background: There is a significant gap in knowledge regarding clinical presentation, treatment decisions, and clinical follow-up for patients diagnosed with coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) in India. Methods: All individuals >18 years diagnosed with CTO involving any v...

We report a rare case of a patient who despite being under anti VEGF : Bevacizumab , developed a large coronary collateral circulation completely supplying the chronic total occlusion of left main coronary artery. Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody was the first potent angiogenic...
Introduction: Mitral stenosis is one of the most frequent valve diseases in Morocco. Mitral stenosis had been considered for several years as a protective left ventricular valve disease. However, many studies have disapproved of this theory. The advent of different imaging techni...

Background: Thromboembolic disease is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death. In recent years, several lines of evidence have indicated the possibility of de novo thrombus generation in pulmonary arteries without deep vein thrombus (DVT) in the lower extremities. Pulmona...
Aim: The effect of chronic administration of ethanolic extract of Chromolaena odorata (C. odorata) on biomarkers of the cardiovascular system in Wistar rats was investigated in this study. Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups of five animals each...
