(1) Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) has been investigated in the context of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study contributes to the field by assessing short-term HRV during primary percutaneous coronary intervention...

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) encompasses morphofunctional anomalies in the heart and circulatory system present at birth, which may not become apparent until later in life. In Ethiopia, there needs to be more understanding of the preval...

The flow path of vertebrate hearts has a looped configuration characterized by curved (sigmoid) and twisted (chiral) components. The looped heart design is phylogenetically conserved among vertebrates and is thought to represent a significant determi...

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysms and peripheral artery disease pose significant health risks, ranking third after heart attacks and cerebral strokes. Surgical interventions often involve temporary aortic clamping, leading to ischemia–repe...

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common major congenital anomaly, affecting one in every 100 live births. Whereas over 90% of children born with CHD in low- and middle-income countries cannot access the care they need, early detection, adva...

The clinical significance of measuring vessel wall thickness is widely acknowledged. Recent advancements have enabled high-resolution 3D scans of arteries and precise segmentation of their lumens and outer walls; however, most existing methods for as...

Bariatric surgery is an approach used to treat patients with obesity in a small minority of eligible patients. Non-pharmacological therapies are important to maintain decent health status post-bariatric surgery. We performed a systematic review with...

Both chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and stroke contribute to a high burden of disease in the majority of low- and middle-income countries. Epidemiological studies yield conflicting results on the association between CHB and stroke, and the causal relation...

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with poor prognosis in acute respiratory failure (ARF). Our study evaluates the efficacy of RV strain in detecting RV dysfunction in ARF patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) compare...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a major global health challenge, leading to significant morbidity and mortality while straining healthcare systems. Despite progress in medical treatments for CVDs, their increasing prevalence calls for a shift t...
