Background22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DS) is the second most common cause of congenital heart disease (CHD) and a multisystem disorder that contributes to substantial overall disease burden. Additionally, 22q11.2DS is the...

ABSTRACT Background According to global projections, by the year 2050, ischemic heart disease will remain the leading cause of cardiovascular deaths with hypertension as a leading modifiable risk factor for mortality. Im...

Abstract Background Focused cardiac ultrasound examination (FoCUS) is rapidly emerging for point‐of‐care cardiac assessment using hand‐carried ultrasound (HCU) devices. A specific FoCUS protocol for horses and adeq...

Abstract Background Nonhemorrhagic ascites (NHA) can be caused by cardiac diseases (cNHA) and noncardiac diseases (ncNHA). N‐terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP), cardiac troponin‐I (cTnI), and point‐of...

Abstract Background Point‐of‐care (POC) N‐terminal pro B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) ELISA test has been evaluated for screening cats for cardiac disease in the referral veterinary setting but less is ...

BackgroundComplex congenital heart disease (CHD) has long been a significant cause of infant mortality and severe morbidity. However, pediatric cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is gaining recognition, and evidence regarding p...

Abstract Introduction Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) under veno-arterial ECMO (VA-ECMO) is frequently complicated by severe vasoplegia and microcirculation failure. Conventional resuscitation relies heavily on catec...

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR), a multi-modal program centered around supervised exercise, is considered the standard of care for secondary cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. The primary goals of CR are managing CVD r...

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of cardiac problems, including myocardial iron deposition, pericarditis, and valvular abnormalities, among people with β-thalassemia and to shed light on the distribution of β-thal...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia with a rising global incidence. Advances in ablation techniques have led to same‐day discharge (SDD) protocols, reducing hospital res...

Abstract One in two cardiac patients fear having another heart event or their cardiac condition worsening. Assessment of fear of recurrence and progression (FoRP) is critical to effective clinical care and chronic diseas...

Bilateral isolated cerebral peduncle infarction is a rare stroke, previously reported only in adults. This report describes a paediatric burns patient with preceding cardiac arrest who developed subtle neurology. Imaging...

Avaliou-se, prospectivamente, a existência de relação entre o controle glicêmico materno, na primeira metade da gestação, com a ocorrência de anomalias cardíacas fetais, em gestantes com diabetes mellitus. O nív...

Kounis syndrome (KS), also known as allergic angina syndrome, is a potentially life-threatening perioperative condition that may be underrecognized under general anesthesia. Management is challenging because anaphylaxis ...

Abstract The present report describes a case of complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) diagnosed at 25 weeks of gestation in a pregnant woman with Sjögren's syndrome and positive anti-Ro/SSA antibodies. Fluorinated ster...

Current risk stratification for Post-cardiac Arrest Syndrome (PCAS) relies mainly on static admission variables and may fail to capture the dynamic systemic evolution. This study aimed to identify trajectory-defined thro...

BackgroundPoor oral health is associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), largely due to shared risk factors such as smoking, diabetes and socioeconomic disadvantage. Integrating oral health into primary and speciali...

Objective: To describe circadian disruptions in septic patients and their relation to clinical outcome. Methods: In this work we performed an individual analysis of hemodynamic variables (cardiac frequency and mean blood...

Background and aimCardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a high rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Mechanical power (MP) represents energy per breath multiplied by re...

Abstract Background Adrenaline is an emergency medication used in critical situations. However data on its early adverse events after intravenous injection are limited. Therefore, the goal of this study is to describe th...

IntroductionKabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare, complex, multisystem, neurodevelopmental congenital disorder with characteristic phenotypic anomalies and pathogenic genetic variants of the KMT2D or KDM6A genes. KS is highly ...

Introduction: Low-voltage electrical injuries are generally considered low risk but can cause significant thermal injury when current is concentrated through conductive materials. Circumferential neck burns from mobile p...

Introduction: The neonatal period is one of the most critical phases in an individual’s life. During this time, newborns undergo significant physiological changes as they adapt from the intrauterine to the extrauterine...
