Dermatomyositis: Dermoscopic features and a short review.
BACKGROUND: Dermoscopy has demonstrated utility in several connective tissue diseases. However, in dermatomyositis, it has been poorly studied for both cutaneous and nailfold involvement. RESULTS: We ...
Assessment of the aortic root and ascending aorta in swine using CTA.
PURPOSE: Swine are widely recognised as an essential experimental platform for evaluating prosthetic heart valves and testing novel catheter-based deployment methods. Our study aimed to establish base...
Atrial linear lesion sets are commonly performed as adjunctive ablation to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia (AT). Long...
The prevalence and clinical correlates of extra-aortic vascular disease in Marfan syndrome remain incompletely defined, and current surveillance strategies primarily target the thoracic aorta.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia associated with an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and mortality. While catheter ablation is increasingly used for early rhythm control,...
Despite advances in acute care, stroke remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide, with limited treatment options to improve recovery after stroke. Traditionally, the manageme...
Atherosclerosis, an inflammatory driver of coronary artery disease, manifests as unstable atheromatous plaques and stable fibrous plaques. Although atheromatous plaques have been extensively studied, ...
Ischemic cardiomyopathy remains a major contributor to chronic heart failure despite optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). HEAT HF (HBOT and EECP as Adjuvant Therapy in Heart Failure) is ...
Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening vascular disorder characterized by medial degeneration and phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). While integrin subunit alpha 5 (IT...
Early anthracycline cardiotoxicity in adolescents and young adults with sarcoma: a prospective echocardiographic study.
BACKGROUND: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with sarcomas often receive high-dose doxorubicin (Dox), but data on early cardiotoxicity in this population are limited. OBJECTIVES: To prospectively e...
