It is well known that acting quickly in the event of a cardiac arrest is important, but what does a quick initial shock with a defibrillator mean exactly for patients' chances of survival? Researchers from Amsterdam UMC analyzed the data of 3,723 patients who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and concluded that for the first shock, every minute reduces the chance of survival by 6%.

On October 29th, the global community observes World Stroke Day , an occasion dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most formidable threats to global health: stroke. Often called the "silent killer," stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Its insidious nature often occurring without warning has profound implications for patient outcomes, underscoring the need for proactive prevention, rapid response, and advanced treatment strategies.

Resistant hypertension is a condition where blood pressure levels remain elevated above target despite changes in lifestyle and concurrent use of at least three antihypertensive agents, including a long-acting calcium channel blocker (CCB), a blocker of the renin-angiotensin system (ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker) and a diuretic. To be diagnosed as resistant hypertension, maintaining adherence to therapy is required along with confirmation of blood pressure levels above target by

In an era of rapidly expanding use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the management of patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is far less well established than in those with trileaflet anatomy.
