Gaston K Kapuku, Michelle L Brown, Shin Suzuki and Steven Coughlin

Article Type: Original Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 6

Hypertension is associated with impaired left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. However, the impact of stress on LV filling of treated hypertensive individuals is unclear. Fourteen hypertensive patients (mean age 55 years) and 14 age-sex matched normotensive controls underwent Doppler echocardiographic studies at rest and one minute following supine ergometer bicycle. The evaluations were done before and under treatment with diltiazem (180 mg/ day) during 24 weeks. Resting blood pressure cont...

Paula Marcela Cuéllar-Pinzón, MD, María Paula Montes-Lozano, MD, Marco Antonio Suárez- Fuentes, MD, Miller Jesús Melo-Mora, MD and Michael Gregorio Ortega-Sierra, MD

Article Type: Editorial | Indexed Archive: Volume 6

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated numerous questions about the pathophysiology of the acute phase of this disease, and as time goes by, also of the chronic phase, known as post-COVID-19 syndrome. Although the neurological phenotype (post-COVID 19 neurological syndrome) is the most debated, the evidence points to the fact that the main manifestations of post-COVID 19 patients, regardless of disease severity, are dyspnea, fatigue, tachycardia, and difficulties in performing activities of daily l...
