The incidence generally increases as the patient ages, with multifactorial predisposing features that may include congenitally malformed or displaced conduction systems, altered hemodynamics, mech...

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) has been recognized as one of the most commontypes of thrombophilia (1). Its main clinical features are arterial/venous thrombosis and pregnancy loss associated with placenta thrombosis. However, other heterogeneous clinical manifestations may be associated with APS, such as thrombocytopenia, haemolytic anemia, neurological impairment and pulmonary hypertension (...

JUSTIFICATION The indications and doses of most drugs used for heart ailments in children are extrapolated from data in adult patients. Separate guidelines are needed for neonates, infants and children because of the differences in underlying heart diseases and metabolic clearance of some of these drugs. PROCESS Consensus emerged following expert deliberations at the National Meeting on Manag...

Disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis is a hallmark of cardiac diseases. Therefore, maintenance of mitochondrial integrity through different surveillance mechanisms is critical for cardiomyocyte survival. In this review, we discuss the most recent findings on the central role of mitochondrial quality control processes including regulation of mitochondrial redox balance, aldehyde metabolism, p...

Cardiac myxomas are rare benign tumors in childhood. They most commonly occur left atrium. Irregular surface of atrial is associated with a high risk embolic events. The majority cardiac myxoma patients diagnosed symptoms. In the literature, there limited number case reports on neurological symptoms childhood which after detailed examination.

conclusions these studies will enable physicians to diagnose and follow up many cardiac diseases when this software is interfaced within echocardiographic machines. results myocardial fibers initiate from the posterior basal region of the heart, continue through the left ventricular free wall, reach the septum, loop around the apex, ascend, and end at the superior-anterior edge of the left vent...

This article reviews the current progress and research indications in the application of natural plant compounds with the potential for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Our understanding of how to apply natural plant compounds to enhance mechanisms of inherited cardiac regeneration, which is physiologically pertinent to myocyte turnover or minor cardiac repair, for substantial cardiac ...
