The association of pericardial effusion with ventricular hypertrophy is one of the signs suggestive of cardiac amyloidosis, according to the literature. We report a case of cardiac and thyroid AA amyloidosis in a 65-year-old patient followed for chronic inflammatory bowel disease...
Background and Aim: Reduced peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) is a primary predictor of mortality in congestive heart failure (CHF) patients, and it is also an indicator of an individual's exercise capacity. Traditionally, exercise training during cardiac rehabilitation has been used...
Objective: To investigate expert opinions regarding the preferred therapy options for hypertensive patients in an Indian clinical setting, with a specific focus on the prescription practice of cilnidipine. Methodology: The cross-sectional study was conducted using a 25-question s...
Aims: Valvular heart diseases, primarily mitral stenosis, are a significant concern in Morocco. Early detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction is crucial, especially in high-prevalence valvular disease populations. This study aims to investigate global longitudinal stra...
Background: Heart failure (HF) is growing in epidemic proportion due to a spectrum of cardiovascular diseases leading to myocardial dysfunction. HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) is a unique phenotype of HF with differences in clinical features as compared to othe...
Background: Cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) type 1 is a rare condition where acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) occur at the same time. The optimal method for diagnosing and treating AMI in patients with AIS remains uncertain. This publication aims...
Hypertension, a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and global mortality, affects approximately 31.1% of adults worldwide. Resistant hypertension, observed in 13-30% of hypertensive patients, poses a challenge in treatment escalation, contributing to clinical...
Background: Myocardial Infarction (MI) stands as a significant contributor to global morbidity and mortality. characterized by the irreversible death (necrosis) of heart muscle due to prolonged oxygen deprivation (ischemia), MI poses a substantial health threat. In the United Sta...
Tetralogy of Fallot with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare entity. Due to disordered development of arterial and venous ends of the heart there is anomalous venous return coupled with outflow tract anomalies. Clinical manifestations are similar to classical Te...

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has emerged as a significant cause of both mortality and morbidity in both developing and developed nations. Among the various comorbidities associated with CAD patients, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) a...
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD), which results from coronary artery narrowing or blockage, is a major global cause of illness and death. In cardiovascular medicine, the demographic and clinical characteristics of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients are essential area...
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...
