Abstract
IntroductionWith the ongoing evolution of ever faster and more sophisticated multi–detector row Computed Tomography (CT) technologies, CT of the heart has evolved into an examination that is applied to a broad variety of clinical situations [1]. With the advantage of the latest iterations of multi-detector CT technology, both the temporal re View moreCase Report

Healing myocarditis from a hypertrophied heart with multifocal fibrosis mimicking cardiomyopathy
Abstract
IntroductionSudden cardiac death is one of the most common causes of death in the practice of forensic pathology. It refers to an unexpected and sudden death where sudden cessation of cardiac activity occurred with the hemodynamic collapse due to ventricular tachycardia, or ventricular fibrillation [1]. This ventricular arrhythmia usually occur View moreResearch Article

Endothelial Cells Strengthening: Improving Functions in Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (A Double Blind Randomized Interventional Control Trial)
Tarun Saxena, Sanjay Patidar, Shailesh Verma, Azeema Ozefa Ali and Manjari Saxena
Abstract
IntroductionEndothelial dysfunction/injury is the prime reason for the development of atherosclerosis and its sequel (vulnerable plaque) which likely results into Acute Coronary Syndrome [1-5]. Till date, therapy is directed towards antiplatelet, lipid-lowering and thrombus removal by drugs or intervention in ACS [6,7]. Healthy endothelium has View moreReview Article

Current Evidence for the Use of Aspirin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and a CHA2DS2-Vasc=1
Abstract
BackgroundAspirin was once the mainstay of stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. However, the development of Vitamin K Antagonists (VKAs) and the evolution and availability of Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs), has left aspirin (ASA) therapy by the wayside, based on the results of the BAFTA, ARISTOTLE, RE-LY and ROCKET-AF trials. Both AS View moreReview Article

Peri-Myocardial Infarction Pericarditis: Current Concepts
Gharacholou S Michael, Vaca-Cartagena F Bryan, Parikh P Pragnesh, Pollak M Peter and Bruce J Charles
Abstract
Pericardial AnatomyThe pericardium is functionally a dual layer sac of outer fibrous and inner serosal (visceral) layer that contains the heart and normally less than 50 mL of pericardial fluid [1]. The outer fibrous layer is in continuity with the great vessels above and with the diaphragm below and is in direct contact with many mediastinal View moreResearch Article

Abstract
IntroductionCongenital heart disease is a spectrum of structural problems of the heart or its major blood vessels which are present at birth due to failure of embryological development of fetus in the womb. VSD accounts for about 14-16% of all cases of congenital cardiovascular defects [1]. About eight of every 100 infants or 1% of live births View moreReview Article

Vasomotor Center? A Possible Role in the Treatment of Hypertension
Tarun Saxena, Ashutosh Saxena, Azeema Ozefa Ali and Manjari Saxena
Abstract
IntroductionThe global burden of essential hypertension and associated co-morbidities (cardiac failure, renal failure) is rising continuously [1]. Despite the availability of newer drugs for hypertension, the epidemic is not under control especially in developing countries [2,3]. Hypertension is a state of vascular system where the whole body v View moreCommentary
