The following is a summary of “Echocardiographic Assessment of Cardiac Remodeling According to Obesity Class,” published in the November 2024 issue of Cardiology by Prajapati et al. Obesity is linked ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is considered a beneficial and disease-modifying treatment in appropriately selected heart failure (HF) patients. It reduces morbidity and mortality, reverses ...

Background: Myocardial fibrosis is a key indicator of cardiac remodeling caused by pressure overload, involving a complex interplay of mechanical, inflammatory, and neurohormonal factors. Our recent ...

The severe cardiac events are often fatal, and while Abrunzo's father survived, it inspired him to take his heart health seriously, since family history is one of the strongest indicators for ...

This handbook contains a comprehensive collection of protocols to streamline imaging workflows and ensure reproducible ...

In patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the effectiveness of drugs such as epinephrine is highly time-dependent. An intraosseous route of drug administration may enable more rapid drug ...

progressive ventricular remodeling may be the critical mechanism leading to an impairment of ventricular function already at rest. Worsening of cardiac contractile function by both processes leads ...

A cardiac electrophysiologist is a cardiologist who has 2 years of extra training to learn about heart rhythms and how to diagnose problems with them. Training to become certified as a cardiac ...
