Hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor is a recently introduced oral agent to treat renal anemia, but its clinical implications on renal functioning in patients with heart failure remains unknown. We studied an 81-year-old man...
In this case report, we describe a complex case of a 67-year-old patient who was suffering from acute heart failure with electrical storm. Clinical case management was based on an integrated approach comprising two different procedures that were comp...
Cognitive impairment (CI) represents a common but often veiled comorbidity in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) that deserves more clinical attention. In the AHF setting, it manifests as varying degrees of deficits in one or more cognitive doma...
The aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with impaired vascular function in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (DM2) with and without overt cardiovascular disease (CVD). Ninety-five patients with DM2 and poor glycemic c...
Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a rare finding and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. However, prognostic factors are not well studied and no prognostication tool is available. In a derivation set comprising 729 consecutive CAE patients betw...
Takayasu Arteritis (TA) is characterized by granulomatous panarteritis, vessel wall fibrosis, and irreversible vascular impairment. The aim of this study is to explore the usefulness of the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis score (ELF), procollagen-III aminote...
Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels are an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs10455872, rs3798220) and number of KIV-2 repeats in the gene encoding Lp(a) (LPA) are associated with Lp(a) and CAD...
Laser balloon (LB) has emerged as an interesting strategy for pulmonary vein isolation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). A third-generation LB has recently been developed, allowing a continuous ablation set. We aimed to compare the results from...
The median survival of patients with heart transplants is relatively limited, implying one of the most relevant questions in the field—how to expand the lifespan of a heart allograft? Despite optimal transplantation conditions, we do not antici...
Background: Optimal heart rate (HR) that associates with higher cardiac output and greater clinical outcomes in patients with cardiac amyloidosis remains unknown. Methods: Consecutive patients with sinus rhythm who were diagnosed with cardiac amyloid...
