High body mass index (BMI) and hypertension are quite prevalent in women of childbearing age (WCBA) and are also common risk factors for ischemic heart disease (IHD). However, there are few studies globally ev...
The triglyceride‒glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI) has been recognized as a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease risk and plays a crucial role in assessing insulin resistance. However, the correlati...
Echocardiography is the standard tool for the evaluation of mitral regurgitation (MR). Although Two-dimensional echocardiography is the most recommended tool, it has some limitations. Three-dimensional echocar...
Angio-based microvascular resistance (AMR) was proposed as a tool to quantitatively assess coronary microvascular based on single angiographic projection. The aims of this study are to assess the diagnostic ac...
Early repolarization pattern (ERP) on electrocardiogram (ECG) was long considered benign, but recent data suggest a potential association with fatal arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Its relevance in pediat...
Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare cardiac condition that is often difficult to diagnose. Although endocardial myocardial biopsy is considered the gold standard for diagnosis, sampling errors can lead to ...
