Impact of Cardiovascular Disease on the Bone-Vascular Axis: A Systematic Review of Musculoskeletal Deficiencies and Therapeutic Implications

Saichaitanya R. Nallajennugari and Viraj Y. Amin

Article Type: Systematic Literature Review | Indexed Archive: Volume 9

Recent advances in medical research reveal how cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide, have substantial effects on other body systems. Cardiovascular diseases like arteriosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD) are caused when coronary arteries are blocked by a buildup of atherosclerotic plaques, leading to reduced blood flow, ischemia, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Traditionally, CAD and arteriosclerosis are researched for their prevalent effects on the cardiovas...

Article Type: Case Series and Systematic Review | Indexed Archive: Volume 8

The disease caused by Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) was initially described in December 2019. Severe acute respiratory syndrome type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for an important multisystem inflammatory spectrum. Cardiovascular conditions have been reported with an estimated frequency of 8-28%. In this context, transthoracic echocardiography associated with the analysis of the two-dimensional Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS) of the left ventricle derived from Speckle Tracking emerges as a promis...

Article Type: Case Series and Systematic Review | Indexed Archive: Volume 8

Left ventricular dysfunction in an independent predictor of mortality in Chagas disease. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an emerging echocardiographic modality with possible incremental value in early detection of cardiac involvement. Compare left ventricular function with multiple echocardiographic parameters between patients with the indeterminate and chronic forms of Chagas and perform a literature review....

A Randomized Control Study of Moderate Procedural Sedation and Opioid Analgesia during Trans-Radial Coronary Interventions to Prevent Spasm

N. Arvind Yuvaraj, Ganesh Narayan, M. Chokkalingam and S. Saradha

Article Type: Original Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 8

A Prospective randomized controlled study conducted in the department of Cardiology in a tertiary care hospital in South India. The study included patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with trans-radial access. Patients were randomized to either administration of sedation and analgesia (Treatment group) or no procedural sedative/analgesic (Control group). In the treatment group, Inj. Fentanyl 0.5 mcg/kg and Inj. Midazolam 1 mg slow intra...

Successful Use of Radial Artery Graft in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Case Report

Nabeel Al-Madwahi, MD, PhD, Abeer Shaia'a Naji Sa'adan, MD, Ali Fadhel, MD, PhD, Nbil Al-Gaadabi, MD and Alezz Aljunaid, MD

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 8

Angiography revealed significant lesions in the left main, left anterior descending, and left circumflex arteries, while the right coronary artery showed diffuse atherosclerosis but no significant stenosis. Echocardiography confirmed acute ischemic changes. Due to the extensive CAD and high-risk profile, percutaneous coronary intervention was deemed unsuitable, and CABG was performed using a radial artery graft....

Cardiovascular Disease as a Chronic Sequel to COVID-19: A Case Report

Oscar Rene Vazquez Melo, Ramon Eduardo Garcia Cahuich, Jose Julián Sosa Rodriguez and María Valeria Jiménez Báez

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 7

COVID-19 infection has shown cardiovascular involvement, particularly when it has a moderate to severe presentation. This alteration has been manifested in arrhythmias, myocarditis, and acute myocardial infarction, among others; persistence of these cardiovascular alterations in the short and medium term has been documented. In Latin America there are no reports of long-term cardiovascular sequelae. We present the case of a 46-year-old female with no previous history of cardiovascular disease wh...

Persistence of Stress Related Left Ventricular Filling Abnormality in Treated Hypertensive Patients

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...
