Background: The potential prognostic biomarker—neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be used to predict the severity of STEMI. We conducted an observational study using this parameter together with the extent of coronary artery involvement from coronary angiogram and magnitude...
Background: It is important to identify patients at risk of developing cardiovascular events to enable preventive interventions and promote lifestyle modifications. Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) is an important marker for cardiovascular disease and can be easily measured...
Background: Physical activity has been shown to have positive impact on health and in the long term results in improved physical fitness and quick recovery in cardiovascular parameters after sub-maximal exertion. Clinical evaluation of cardiovascular recovery as a prognostic tool...
Several toxic effects of crude oil have been reported on human reproductive, respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. An instance is seen in the negative effect on fertility resulting from prolonged exposure to fumes from the exhausts of vehicles. This study, therefore,...
In the United States alone, more than 6 million patients receive long-term anti-platelet and anticoagulation therapy. The hemostatic system must maintain a balance between fibrin formation (coagulation) and fibrin dissolution (fibrinolysis). Thrombin and Factor Xa are two of the...
Introduction: MRI scans are not recommended for the first four weeks after device implantation. However, conditions like hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy can only be evaluated by MRI. A case where MRI brain was done in a patient with HIE four days after ICD implantation has been...
Objects: Amitriptyline is a widely used tricyclic antidepressant. Amitriptyline is well-known for its cardiovascular side effects and toxicity in psychiatric patients. However, the mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular side effects of amitriptyline remain largely undefined. Ai...
Background: Cardiovascular disease is a global epidemic which is commonly associated with obesity. Maximum aerobic capacity (VO2peak) and Duke treadmill score (DTS) are associated with prediction of risk of heart disease so any positive modification in these factors can prevent r...
Aim: To evaluate the pattern and acquisition costs of antihypertensive medications prescribed as well as adherence to JNC-7 guideline in management of hypertension. Study Design: This is a retrospective study to assess the patterns of prescription and cost analysis of antihyperte...
Purpose: Mortality in women around the world is attributed majorly to CVDs. Around 4.5 Lac women die annually due to plethora of CVDs like Heart Failure (HF) and Ischemic Heart Disease or their complications. Especially, postmenopausal women are majorly affected by CVDs. This stu...
Hyperlipidemia involves abnormally elevated levels of any or all lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood. Hyperlipidemia may basically be classified as either familial hyperlipidemia or acquired hyperlipidemia. There are two types of hyperlipidemia; modifiable and non-modifiable...
Context: The prevalence figures of major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs)- Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) and Hypertension (HTN) have escalated to epidemic levels, in both developing and developed countries. Ischemia Reversal Program (IRP) is a combination of Panchakarma and allied...
Aims: To highlight the outcomes of nurse-led fast-track outpatient clinic for rhythm and conduction disturbances yielding patients with postural tachycardia syndrome. Patients and Methods: In the setting of fast-track nurse-led outpatient clinic for rhythm and conduction disturba...
Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is defined as the estimated fetal weight less than the 10th percentile for that gestational age on ultrasound study. There is no proven cure; management is reliant on a structured antenatal surveillance programme. Recent advances in ultr...
Other than oxygen, the air that enters the respiratory system contains several substances. These substances are derived from a heterogeneous mixture of gases, liquids and particulate matter. Exposure to air pollutants cause deleterious effects on the cardio-respiratory system. T...
