Aim: Despite comprehensive management recommendations for ischemic heart disease, the prevalence of ischemic heart disease continues to rise. Similar actions have been observed in various herbal drugs, making them promising targets for developing new therapeutic options for treat...
Aim: The right coronary artery (RCA), originating from the left sinus of Valsalva (LSOV), is a rare congenital anomaly seen in less than 3% of the total congenital coronary anomalies. They are usually asymptomatic, and some may present with symptoms due to ischemia, arrythmias, o...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality globally, with significant burdens in both developed and underdeveloped nations. In Pakistan, CVD is a growing concern, contributing to nearly 29% of all fatalities. Despite its prominence, understanding of CVD in Pak...
We report the case of a 43-year-old man admitted for multiple ischemic strokes. Investigations revealed hyperthyroidism complicated by rapid atrial fibrillation (tachy AF). With no significant medical history, the patient presented with sudden aphasia and a mild motor deficit in...
Aims: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the important management options for intra-stent restenosis (ISR) following PCI. Undersized stents may lead to suboptimal results. Hence, adequate stent size relative to the vessel of the target is crucial. In this case, we...
Introduction : Prehypertension is a major health problem that exposes subjects to increase their risk of cardiovascular disease regardless of progression to overt hypertension. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of prehypertension and to identify its assoc...
Background: Trans-Aortic-Valve-Implantation (TAVI) is an innovative technique for the management of patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis. However, it is still associated with a non-negligible rate of vascular complications. In this article we discuss the difficulties of the...
Background: Very rarely, atrial fibrillation can be complicated by acute renal or intestinal infarction. The diagnosis of this condition can therefore be challenging, and treatment guidelines have not yet been established. In this article, we present a case report of a patient wi...
Myxoma is a rare benign primary cardiac tumor, which can cause vascular complications. Neurological symptoms may precede or accompany the diagnosis of systemic embolization myxoma, most often occurring in the cerebral circulation. We report two cases of myxoma, one of which was c...
Background: Coronary-bronchial fistulas (CBFs) are rare vascular anomalies that involve abnormal connections between the coronary arteries and the bronchial tree. These anomalies can be challenging to diagnose due to their atypical presentation and the complexity of distinguishin...
Introduction: Congenital atrioventricular block (CAVB) is a rare cardiac condition characterized by impaired electrical conduction between the atria and ventricles. We present a case report of an 18-year-old female patient with no significant medical history admitted to the cardi...

Lutembacher’s syndrome (LS) is a very rare condition and is characterized by a congenital ostium secundum type atrial septal defect (OS-ASD) and an acquired mitral stenosis (MS) which is commonly rheumatic in origin, most common in females. Here we report a case of a 35-year-old...
The aim was achieved by estimating and comparing the concentrations of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium in individuals with heart disease and those without any history of heart disease. It is well-recognised that certain nutrients influence the onset and course of cardiovascula...
Background: Azilsartan is a recently approved angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) available for the treatment of hypertension in India. Azilsartan has demonstrated unique properties which are different from the previous ARBs. The study objective was to assess the efficacy, safety...
