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...
Libman-Sacks endocarditis is a rare cardiac manifestation systemic lupus erythematosus, in which there is a sterile vegetation in the heart valves. There is a significant risk of infective endocarditis. Our patient was a 63 year old woman with persistent fever with and generalize...

It has been reported that hyperthyroidism could be the cause of arrhythmias at the ventricular and supraventricular levels, while conduction disorders are very rarely described. We report through our observation the case of a 45-year-old patient diagnosed with atrioventricular bl...
Most inhalation methods of animal sacrifice target the respiratory and circulatory systems. Chances are that chemical inhalation methods of animal euthanasia for studies involving the heart and lungs may interfere with the outcome of the research. This study was done to evaluate...
