Acute myocardial infarction is the major cause of death and disability worldwide, with an ongoing increase in incidence every year. Therefore, diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction should be made early and accurately to decrease the associated mortality and morbidity. The current gold standard cardiac biomarkers (Troponin and CKMB) for rapid rule in and rule out for acute myocardial infarcti...

OBJECTIVE To assess children with myocarditis, the frequency of various presenting symptoms, and the accuracy of different investigations in the diagnosis. METHODS This was an observational study of 63 patients admitted to PICU with non-cardiac diagnosis. Cardiac enzymes, chest-X ray, echocardiography, and electrocardiogram were performed to diagnose myocarditis among those patients. RESULT...

We evaluated the analytical and clinical performances of a new radial partition immunoassay for measuring the mass concentration of creatine kinase (CK)-MB in serum. All pipetting, washes, incubations and data reduction were performed in 8 min by the Stratus (Dade) fluorometric analyzer. Within-assay and between-assay CVs were respectively 5.5% and 8.4% at 21 micrograms/L, and 4.2% and 3.4% at ...

Objective: To test the hypothesis that myocardium specific proteins may be useful markers for evaluating the severity of congestive heart failure. Methods: Serum concentrations of myosin light chain I (MLC-I), heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), and troponin T (TnT) and plasma concentrations of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were determined in 48 pa...

Tart cherry supplementation has been shown to enhance recovery from strenuous exercise due its antioxidant properties. The majority of these studies used tart juice, with a significant calorie content. primary purpose this study was assess whether powdered extract minimal content reduces oxidative stress and enhances following intense resistance exercise. Thirteen men (mean age: 26.2 ± 5.3 year...

Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Place and duration: This study was performed from 2nd April 2020 to October the Department Cardiac Surgery Punjab Institute Cardiology, Lahore. Methodology: After informed consent, all were enrolled divided into two group...

Pendahuluan: Hipertensi emergensi adalah peningkatan tekanan darah secara substansial dan dihubungkan dengan adanya hypertensive mediated organ damage (HMOD) akut. Kondisi ini sering memerlukan intervensi menurunkan segera tetapi hati-hati, biasanya intravena. Kasus: Perempuan, usia 75 tahun, mengeluh tiba-tiba nyeri dada 4 jam sebelum masuk rumah sakit. Nyeri seperti ditindih menjalar hingga k...

BACKGROUND There is intense interest in the use of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) for risk assessment. Elevated hsCRP concentrations early in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), prior to the tissue necrosis, may be a surrogate marker for cardiovascular co-morbidities. OBJECTIVE Therefore we aimed to study different follow up measurements of hsCRP levels in acute coronary syndrome pati...

BACKGROUND The use of doxorubicin (DOX) an anthracycline antineoplastic agent is withdrawn due to its cardio-toxic side effects. Oxidative stress has been recognized as the primary cause of DOX induced cardiotoxicity. We have investigated whether polyphenol rich ethyl acetate extract of Acacia hydaspica (AHE) can attenuate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via inhibition of oxidative stress. ...
