Unmasking Arterial Stiffness A Key to Detecting Cardiovascular Complications in Hypertensive Patients
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death globally, and hypertension—aptly called the “silent killer”—is a significant contributor. In a compelling new study, researchers delve into the relationship between arterial stiffness and vital cardiovascular parameters such as the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). The findings suggest a crucial diagnostic…

Linking Myocardial Fibrosis to Sudden Cardiac Death in HCM
Introduction: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most prevalent cardiac genetic disorder, affecting approximately 0.2% of the general population. It is characterized by myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis, and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). This systematic review investigates the role of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging as a predictor of…

Late Discovery of a Traumatic Cardiac Injury A Case Report
Introduction Penetrating cardiac injuries are rare and often fatal due to significant hemorrhage leading to cardiac tamponade. However, in some cases, these injuries go unnoticed and are diagnosed later through complications. This case study highlights a neglected cardiac injury discovered 45 days after the initial trauma in a young patient presenting with signs of heart…

The Role of Histidine in Cardiac Contractility Insights from Myocardial Studies
Introduction:Histidine, a naturally occurring amino acid, has been widely studied for its role in modulating beta-adrenoceptor activity and myocardial contractility. Recent research published in the Journal of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine investigates how histidine influences cardiac contractility and adrenaline’s inotropic effects in the right ventricular myocardium of nonpregnant and pregnant rats. This study provides valuable…
