BACKGROUND: Evaluation of whether dyspnea has a cardiac cause is essential. Guidelines from 2016 were reported to result in a ...

BACKGROUND: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has a variable incidence, and the development of left ventricular dysfunction is preceded by elevations in cardiac troponin concentrations.

The surgical procedure was completed successfully. Pulsed field energy can travel through the fatty tissue to form a lesion in the cardiomyocytes (Figure [D and E]).The mean depth of the lesion in the ...

Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally, and in the United States, most strokes are ischemic. To date, therapeutic options for ischemic stroke in the hyperacute phase are limited to ...

Figure. Scientific questions that can be addressed using the Cardiovascular Disease Knowledge Portal. A, The phenotype page, illustrated for the atrial fibrillation (AF) phenotype, illuminates the ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) substantially increases the risk of stroke, 1 making stroke prevention a central tenet of AF management. Clinical guidelines emphasize anticoagulation with warfarin or direct ...

In this issue, Glotzbach et al 11 report the heritability and risk estimates of BAV, TAA, and aortic dissection in a large population-based study of almost 4 million individuals in the Utah Population ...

BACKGROUND: r-tPA (recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator) and its variant, TNK (tenecteplase), are the currently approved thrombolytic drugs for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, but ...

Results: Between 1999 and 2020, 14,309,991 cancer-related deaths occurred in the US out of which 612,346 were associated with cancer and heart failure. The overall AAMR per 100,000 for cancer-related ...

Background: The voltage-gated potassium ion channel KV11.1 plays a crucial role in cardiac repolarization. Genetic variants in KV11.1 lead to Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), a condition associated with fatal ...
