Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for managing inflammation, but they are associated with gastrointestinal and renal toxicity upon long-term use. Selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, or coxibs, were developed to...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is rapidly emerging as the leading treatment for severe aortic valve stenosis, especially in elderly and high-risk or inoperable patients. Prosthetic embolism is a rare but serious complication of transcatheter...

Arterial hypertension (HTN) is a global public health problem with three distinct subtypes: isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), and systodiastolic hypertension (SDH), each with unique clinical implications. Th...

Transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) is used for treating severe mitral valve regurgitation in patients deemed unsuitable for open-heart surgery. However, delays between preoperative workup and therapy can lead to changes in the clinical co...

We present a case of recurrent takotsubo syndrome with contemporary brady- and tachyarrhythmic presentation, a rare clinical pattern for which the correct treatment is still a matter of debate.

We present a challenging case of a patient with an isolated right ventricular myocardial infarction (iRVMI) caused by the spontaneous occlusion of a right ventricular branch mimicking an anterior myocardial infarction on the electrocardiogram. A high...

Cardiac arrhythmias are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac rhythm management devices (CRMDs) are used to diagnose and treat heart rhythm abnormalities. Many prospective randomized trials over the past decade have established the effica...

The interpretation of the surface electrocardiogram and intracardiac recordings is key for the appropriate diagnosis and interventional treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. This report describes a patient with both a focal atrial tachycardia (AT) and an...
