IntroductionThere is growing evidence that patients with SARS-CoV-2 (The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) may have a variety of cardiovascular complications in the post-acute phase of COVID-19, but these manifestations have not yet been comprehensively characterized.MethodsWe performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of primary research papers which evaluated individuals at least four weeks after confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis and reported on cardiovascular disease prevalence
Introduction ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is one of the most prevalent presentations in young patients. It is essential to emphasise that each minute of delay in providing medical care is negatively correlated to the patient’s prognosis. The present study was carried out to evaluate the ischaemia-reperfusion times in patients ≤40 years of age versus individuals >40 years of age and their association with mortality and major adverse cardiac event (MACE) over the long

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
The protease thrombin, which increases its levels with various pathologies, can signal through the G protein-coupled receptors protease-activated receptors 1 and 4 (PAR1/PAR4). PAR1 is a high-affinity receptor for thrombin, whereas PAR4 is a low-affinity receptor. Finding functions for PAR4 in endothelial cells (ECs) has been an elusive goal over the last two decades.
Panelists discuss their specific areas of focus in the care for a patient with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) as endocrinologists, cardiologists, internists, and pancreatic specialists, outlining primary treatment goals, such as reducing triglyceride levels below 500 mg/dL to lower the risk of acute pancreatitis, and providing recommendations to support optimal collaboration across all specialties involved in managing FCS.
ObjectiveClinical practice currently faces a significant shortfall in specific biomarkers needed for diagnosing right ventricular (RV) remodeling in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). While small noncoding microRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial regulators of RV remodeling, the biomarker potential of serum miRNAs in this process is little known. This study systematically screened and identified candidate serum miRNAs as potential diagnostic biomarkers for RV remodeling in PH patients.MethodsPulmo

BackgroundThe efficacy and mechanism of Fufang Danshen dripping pills (FFDS) in the secondary prevention of stable coronary heart disease (SCHD) is currently undetermined. This study aims to investigate the efficacy and preliminary mechanism by which FFDS may impact the progression of SCHD.MethodsBased on randomization, we administered oral FFDS to 30 patients with SCHD in addition to conventional treatment for 30 days.
Webinar Robotic Cardiac Surgery: Your Journey Starts Here! gmckinney Tue, 01/28/2025 - 14:43 February 12, 2025 In this one-hour webinar, experts in robotic cardiac surgery will provide an introduction to the specialty, as well as share unique insights for getting involved, getting trained, and ultimately starting a robotic program at your institution.
Adrenal crisis, also known as acute adrenal insufficiency, is an endocrine emergency that is associated with high mortality rates. Reversible cardiomyopathy with severe heart failure is a rare complication of adrenal crisis. Isolated adrenocorticotropin deficiency (IAD) is a rare condition of pituitary adrenal insufficiency. In this case report, we describe a 74-year-old male patient who was in good physical health and was admitted to our hospital with a sudden onset of fever and confusion that
(MedPage Today) -- The FDA approved semaglutide (Ozempic) to reduce the risk of kidney disease worsening, kidney failure, and death due to cardiovascular disease in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD), making it the only.
As a cardiologist with over 20 of experience, I’ve seen how confusing and overwhelming it can be for people to manage their cholesterol. Most people are told to “lower their numbers,” but they’re not given a clear plan to make it happen. That’s why I’m hosting The Cholesterol Secrets Masterclass —a live, 1-hour webinar where I’ll share the exact strategies I use with my patients to help them lower their cholesterol and protect their heart health. &
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our first-ever training eventat the ADN CoE Training, Research Center & Core Lab a milestone that marks the beginning of an exciting journey in medical education and hands-on training for doctors worldwide.
