12 Thus, is it likely that elevated cardiac troponin concentrations during COVID-19 in many patients do not reflect significant new myocardial injury and fibrosis ... by entry through the cell surface ...

Aldosterone escape and non-ACE pathways for angiotensin II production may explain, at least in part, the continued high mortality rates in heart failure patients despite the advances made in ...

A pioneer of cardiac surgery Dr KM Cherian, credited with performing the country’s first heart bypass surgery in 1975, died on Saturday. He was 82. He is remembered for performing challenging heart ...

The circadian rhythm of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains disputable and no studies have directly evaluated the relationship between nocturnal hypoxemia ...

MI is a common cause of heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction, each of which places patients at high risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. [16] Postinfarction, ACE inhibitors ...

Several years ago, my dad was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. The news was a shock. At 84 years old, Daddy had been dedicated to his physical health for decades. He played tennis twice a week, ate ...
