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 …

Cardiotoxicity Associated with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors in Philadelphia Chromosome-Positive Leukemias: An Overview of Mechanisms, Clinical Implications, and Management Strategies
Abstract: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have greatly enhanced the outlook for individuals diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias, including chronic myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, these therapeutic agents are associated with Cardiotoxicities and can manifest as left ventricular dysfunction, which may progress to heart failure, along with electrocardiographic abnormalities, dysrhythmias, hypertension, myocardial ischemia, and thromboembolic events. The unclear frequency of drug-induced cardiovascular complications, coupled with uncertainties regarding their reversibility and long-term …

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 …

Muscle vs. Heart: A Comprehensive Review of Anabolic Steroid-Induced Cardiovascular Risks
Abstract: Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are widely used by athletes and bodybuilders to enhance muscle mass and performance. However, their misuse is associated with serious and often underrecognized cardiovascular risks. Despite their popularity, particularly among young adults, the long-term consequences of AAS abuse on cardiovascular health remain insufficiently explored in the literature. This review aims to: 1. Analyze the cardiovascular implications of AAS use. 2. Elucidate the molecular and physiological mechanisms contributing …

Determining the Root Causes of Complications in Hemodialysis Maintenance Therapy
Abstract: As with peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation, hemodialysis has been considered one of the most effective therapies for the replacement of kidney function. While this helps to save patients with the disease by decreasing morbidity /mortality/ rates, this medication has some side effects. These may manifest during the dialysis process alongside the ongoing treatment. Avoiding these barriers becomes crucial for improving the patients’ prognosis in this context.We are going to …
