Electrocardiographic changes resulting from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may mimic an acute coronary syndrome. We report a case of 57 years old man, with history of smoking, presented to the emergency department with chest pain and electrocardiographic findings of a ST elevation i...
Eisenmenger syndrome is defined as any untreated congenital cardiac defect with intracardiac communication resulting in pulmonary hypertension, flow reversal, and cyanosis. The previous left-to-right shunt is converted into a right-to-left shunt secondary to elevated pulmonary a...
Background: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is an independent risk factor for mortality in sickle cell disease but the clinical and haemodynamic determinants of this complication are unknown. Aims and Objectives: This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical and haemodyn...
Background: Hypertension is one of the predominant risk factors of ischemic heart disease – appropriate control of blood pressure is key to both primary and secondary ischemic heart disease prevention. Despite comprehensive recommendations for management of ischemic heart disease...
Background: Mechanical valves are inherently thrombogenic and require meticulous anticoagulation. Thrombosis of cardiac valve prostheses is a dangerous complication, that practitioners should clearly explain to their patients the potential risks of stopping treatment. Case Presen...
The period of pregnancy is a particular period during which several hormonal and physiological changes occur in the functioning of the pregnant woman causing many changes to the normal functioning of the body and especially the heart. with the appearance of arrhythmias and in par...
Acute myocardial infarction caused by septic embolism is usually fatal. A 43-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with severe chest pain within 4 hours. An electrocardiogram showed prominent anterolateral ST elevation in precordial leads (V2-V6) and lateral...
Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. Despite the rarity of clinical manifestations, cardiac involvement is one of the major causes of mortality. Case Presentation: We report the case of a patient with severe pericardial effusion...

Tertiary syphilis and its cardiovascular complications have become rare in developed countries but still remain a concern in our countries. Cardiovascular damage frequently involves the aortic root and arch. We report here a case of syphilitic aortic insufficiency in a 63-year-ol...
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is considered as the major leading cause of death which poses serious health problems in Bangladesh. Besides other neighboring countries, the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) is also rising among the population in Bangladesh. Pre...
Superior Vena Cava (SVC) obstruction is a very well recognized condition described in many diseases like tumour or malignancies of middle mediastinum, clots in SVC, aortic aneurysm, thyroid disorders, infections like fungal and tuberculosis of lungs and rarely constrictive perica...
Background: Heart failure is a condition where the heart's ability to pump enough blood to support normal metabolic functions is impaired. This causes the heart's resting pressure to rise. Since it has afflicted about 26 million people globally, some authors believe that HF is cu...
Exercise testing (ET) is a noninvasive test used both in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia and in the risk stratification of sudden death in Wolff-Parkinson-white syndrome (WPW). However, in the latter, there are often false-positive results through ST-segment depression even...
Background: Bhramari Pranayama (humming bee breath), involves inhalation through both nostrils, followed by exhalation mimicking the sound of a humming bee. This simplistic yogic practice is often recommended for patients suffering from hypertension. However, there is currently a...
Introduction: Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality and its prevalence is expected to increase because of the aging population, increased prevalence of risk factors and improved post myocardial infarction survival. There is a relationship betwee...
