Introduction:  In order to assess echocardiographic left ventricular functional indices in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), after L-T4 withdrawal (short-term overt hypothyroidism) and during TSH suppressive therapy, we have evaluated cardiac hemodynamics in a single cohort study. Methods: 24 patients with DTC were studied in two phases: 1: at least 4 weeks after L-T4 withd...

Turner syndrome is well known to be associated with significant cardiovascular abnormalities. This paper studied the incidence of cardiovascular abnormalities in asymptomatic adolescent patients with Turner syndrome using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) instead of echocardiography. Twenty subjects diagnosed with Turner syndrome who had no cardiac symptoms were included. Blood pressure ...

Cardiac disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases can be prevented if an effective diagnostic made at initial stages. The ECG test referred to as assistant tool for screening cardiac disorder. research purposes a disorder detection system from 12-lead-based Images. healthcare institutes used various equipment that present results in nonuniform formats images. stud...

The clinical manifestations of Guillain Barre syndrome are usually confined to the nervous system, however in 20% cases there can be cardiovascular involvement in patients with dysautonomia contributing to the mortality. The cardiovascular manifestations of Guillain Barre syndrome are electrocardiographic changes, cardiac enzyme abnormalities and reversible left ventricular dysfunction. The ter...

Recent studies have powerfully demonstrated that women with depression, whether treated with SSRIs or skip treatment, report double risk of cardiovascular malformations. Yet, physicians and epidemiologists continue to terrify women who are at serious life threatening risks if not treated pharmacologically, with non evidence-based information. This paper calls for immediate stop of such practice.

Intrauterine growth restriction is a condition fetus does not reach its growth potential and associated with perinatal mobility and mortality. Intrauterine growth restriction is caused by placental insufficiency, which determines cardiovascular abnormalities in the fetus. This condition, moreover, should prompt intensive antenatal surveillance of the fetus as well as follow-up of infants that h...
