Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by irreversible airflow limitation in the lungs. COPD frequently coexist with Heart Failure (HF) but most patients go undiagnosed because of similarity symptoms. Data on prevalence HF are discrepant and scarce.

Risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) are often modifiable and overlap with risk factors for coronary artery disease. Encouraging our patients to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle by abstaining from cigarettes, maintaining lean weight, limiting red meat intake, and controlling hypertension might lower the risk of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), although a cause-effect r...

Cardiopulmonary function in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension can almost be normalized by pulmonary endarterectomy. The procedure involves the removal of organized and incorporated fibrous obstructive tissue from the pulmonary arteries during circulatory arrest under deep hypothermia. Mortality rates reported for patients who have undergone pulmonary endarterectomy ran...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is an obstructive pulmonary vasculopathy and the RV considered a major determinant of survival in patients with precapillary hypertension. The transition from adaptive to maladaptive phenotype remains poorly understood clinically unpredictable. Several mechanisms having been suggested right heart disease but causes cardiac remodeling remain unknown require furthe...

right-sided heart thrombus is a life-threatening condition that necessitates immediate therapy. detection of right-sided heart thrombus is usually via transthoracic echocardiography. generally, thrombolysis is considered a treatment of choice, but there is currently no consensus about the optimal therapeutic choice. we present a case of multiple right atrial thrombi with concurrent mobile and b...

the majority of coronary artery fistulas (cafs) are congenital. the anomaly accounts for 0.4% of congenital heart defects and approximately 50% of pediatric coronary vasculature anomalies. twenty percent of people with congenital cafs have other concomitant cardiac anomalies, most frequently aortic and pulmonary atresia and patent ductus arteriosus. it is worthy of note that caf with the tetral...

The influence of nitroglycerin, postextrasystolic potentiation, and rapid ventricular pacing on total and regional ventricular function was studied in 32 patients with normal ventricular function and in 44 patients with left ventricular asynergy caused by obstructive coronary artery disease. Total ventricular function was assessed by ventriculography and regional ventricular function was analys...

BACKGROUND Right-sided heart failure has high morbidity and mortality, and may be caused by pulmonary arterial hypertension. Fractal dimension is a differentiated and innovative method used in histological evaluations that allows the characterization of irregular and complex structures and the quantification of structural tissue changes. OBJECTIVE To assess the use of fractal dimension in car...

Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) can particularly affect the respiratory and cardiovascular systems cause serious mortality. Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a mitral valve pathology associated with cardiac We aimed to evaluate effect of MAC on myocardial injury (MI) mortality, which develop secondary COVID-19 infection. 
 Materials Methods: After applying exclusion crit...
