Cardiac Structural and Functional Changes in Anaemia: A 2D Echocardiographic Study in an Indian Population
Abstract: Anemia is a widespread global health concern, particularly prevalent in developing countries, like India, where it contributes significantly to cardiovascular morbidity. This study aimed to evaluate cardiac structural and functional changes in anaemic patients using 2D echocardiography and to assess correlations between haemoglobin levels and echocardiographic parameters. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 125 anaemic patients (defined as haemoglobin <13 g/dL in males and <12 g/dL in females) at …

Systolic-Predominant Hypertension and the Aging Heart: A Cross-Sectional Study on LVH and Cardiovascular Riskss
Abstract: Background: Systolic-predominant hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg with diastolic pressure <90 mm Hg, is the most prevalent form of hypertension in the elderly. It arises primarily due to age-related arterial stiffening and baroreceptor dysfunction. Once considered a benign outcome of aging, systolic-predominant hypertension is now recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Aim and Objective: To evaluate the cardiac status and …
