Background: The tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) is an indirect estimate of right ventricular-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) coupling that has been shown to ...
Occasionally,incessant ventricular tachycardia(VT)exhibits a narrow QRS complex pattern that could be misdiagnosed as supraventricular tachycardia.In this case,a 66-year-old woman was referred to the emergency departm...
BACKGROUND Ventricular diverticula are a rare congenital cardiac disorder presenting with an extremely low incidence.The presence of an apical diverticulum of the right ventricle has been associated with other congeni...

Pressure overload–induced cardiac hypertrophy is a common cause of heart failure(HF),and emerging evidence suggests that excessive oxidized lipids have a detrimental effect on cardiomyocytes.However,the key regulator...
Salmonella meningitis is an uncommon condition in neonates, and when it does occur, it is often linked to serious complications, such as subdural collections and abscesses. We present a case involving a 23-day-old neo...
Objective To explore the relation between long term glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA_1c) variability and indicators of cardiac function as well as left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) p...
