Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common performance limiting arrhythmia in racehorses. High dose exercise and airway disease promote AF in humans. Few studies have investigated epidemiological fac...

Abstract Background The protozoal parasite Trypanosoma cruzi causes myocarditis in dogs. Objectives To describe the cardiac diagnostic test results and outcomes of dogs naturally infected with T. cruzi. Animals Forty‐f...

Carbamazapine is a commonly used antiepileptic agent. Neurological abnormalities which can progress to coma, arrhythmias, respiratory depression and eye abnormalities such as nystagmus are seen in an intoxication setting...

Anemia is one of the common chronic renal failure (CRF) complications. Reduced renal erythropoietin (EPO) production and a shortened life span of erythrocytes due to uremic environment and iron deficiency are the main ca...

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a cosmopolitan parasitic zoonosis that can promote myocarditis and heart rate changes in canine and human hosts. Thus, histopathological aspects of the myocardium and clinical, hematologica...

Abstract Background Cardiac cachexia, loss of muscle mass associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), is associated with increased morbidity and shorter survival times in people, but an association between cardiac ca...

Abstract Background Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a common primary cardiomyopathy of cats. However, little information is available regarding prognostic variables in large populations of cats with RCM. Objectives T...

Xiaodong Feng,1 Yuqing Miao,2 Chenhai Zheng,3 Shuai Yuan,3 Jie Qin3 1Department of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Spleen Thyroid Surgery, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Shenyang, 110016, People’s Republic of C...

We show that TANGO2 in mammalian cells localizes predominantly to mitochondria and partially at mitochondria sites juxtaposed to lipid droplets (LDs) and the endoplasmic reticulum. HepG2 cells and fibroblasts of patients...

Background: Wearable electrocardiography (ECG) devices such as smartwatches offer a novel means for detecting cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF), and ST-segment abnormalities. Their role in comple...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the ECG fi ndings in asymptomatic HD patients for CVD, and to determine related factors with these fi ndings. MATERIAL and METHODS: 545 maintenance HD patients treated at 10 different HD...

Abstract Background Cardiac disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Irish Wolfhounds (IWs), but its prevalence and clinical characteristics in North American IWs are incompletely described. Hypothesis...

Abstract Background Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke–heart syndrome, triggered by acute cerebral ischemia, causes autonomic dysfunction that can result in myocardia...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias. Other than comorbidities like diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, factors like acidosis, uremia and electrolyte...

OBJECTIVE: End-stage kidney disease and advanced cirrhosis are sometimes seen concomitantly. Our purpose was to compare hemodialysis (HD) sessions in critically ill cirrhotic patients from ICU versus stable cirrhotic pat...

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...

The occurrence of late potentials in dogs under doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy and their relationship with the development of ventricular arrhythmias or sudden death were studied. Seven adult mongrel dogs of both sex...

Abstract Left atrial appendage (LAA) aneurysm is a rare structural abnormality that can predispose to significant complications, including systemic embolism and complex supraventricular arrhythmias. Here, we report a 44-...

Abstract Background As of 2025, cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains a major threat to human life. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is still considered life-threatening and therefore prompt diagnosis and immediate int...

Oropharyngeal infection has long been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), specifically valvular disease and endocarditis. However, the relationship between periodontal disease (PD), with associated infection an...

Abstract Background Cardiac catheterizations in horses are mainly performed in the right heart, as access to the left heart traditionally requires an arterial approach. Transseptal puncture (TSP) has been adapted for hor...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an enlargement of the left ventricle caused by chronically increased hemodynamic load, such as arterial hypertension or aortic stenosis. In the initial stages, LVH has a protective n...

Background. Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary cardiac channelopathy that predisposes individuals to malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. In athletes, physiological cardiac adaptations can mask or mimic L...

Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia in chronic kidney disease patients. When compared to warfarin, new oral anticoagulants are found to be non-inferior or superior in safety and eff...
