The Role of Rosmarinic Acid in the Protection against Inflammatory Factors in Rats Model with Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension: Investigating the Signaling Pathway of NF?B, OPG, Runx2, and P-selectin in Heart

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Shortness of breath and syncope are common symptoms of right ventricular failure caused by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which is the result of blockage and increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. There is a significant amount of evidence supporting the idea that inflammation and vascular calcification are important factors in PAH pathogenesis.

Wide QRS-complex tachycardia – elucidating mechanism by atrial pacing maneuvers.

HeartRhythm

A 44-year-old man with a structurally normal heart presented with a history of regular palpitations. He was not on any medication and his baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) was normal. During the electrophysiologic study, diagnostic catheters were placed in coronary sinus (CS), His bundle - right bundle (HB-RB) region and right ventricular apex (RVA).
