Geriatric cardiology has been recognized as an area of study dedicated to issues in cardiovascular health in geriatrics and complications and problems arising from aging. CVDs have recently become a major cause of morbidity and mortality for this generation of people due to the elderly population. There is, thus, a great need for the understanding […]

Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery involves all surgeries undertaken on conditions that relate to the heart, lungs, and other contents of the chest. Generally, various diseases involved include coronary artery disease, disorders of heart valves, thoracic tumors, and aortic aneurysms. All these can be open or minimally invasive procedures. One of the common types of cardiovascular […]

Management of strokes is important in the prevention of long-term disability and has good outcomes for the stroke victim. The two types of strokes include ischemic stroke, caused by blockage of blood flow through blood vessels that supply the brain, and hemorrhagic due to bleeding in or near the brain. In time, because brain tissue […]

Heart Transplantation A very complex surgery where a patient’s diseased or failing heart is replaced by the healthy heart of a deceased donor. The lifesaving intervention is made only in those cases of end-stage heart diseases, in which the patients have experienced other failures. Common indications for heart transplantation include ischemic heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, […]

Resuscitation in emergency medicine can be the difference between life and death when timed well and performed effectively. Resuscitation, which commonly focuses on restoring vital functions, often rests on emergency infusions to keep a patient’s condition stable. Emergency infusions are defined as fluids, blood products, or medications administered through intravenous access. This may be required […]

This is a very exciting field in cardiology, working on the repair and regeneration of damaged heart tissues with a focus on myocardial infarction, as the heart is not known to repair damaged muscle, usually irreversibly scarred. This is aimed to overcome this limitation by introducing cells that could replace lost or damaged cardiac tissue […]

Cerebral blood flow and metabolism are required to keep the brain’s function intact, healthy, and responsive. The human brain represents just 2% of total body weight but utilizes around 20% of body oxygenation and energy when at rest. High dependency on an uninterrupted supply of oxygen and glucose, both carried to the brain via cerebral […]

Clinical case reports in cardiology serve as a useful tool for diagnosing and therapy unusual or complex cases of cardiovascular conditions. They document unusual presentations, rare conditions, unexpected complications, or new approaches to patient care. It could serve as a practical reference for practicing clinicians based on real-life issues and solutions. Case reports are helpful […]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology is one of the specialist areas in cardiovascular medicine about the mechanisms concerning blood vessel health and disease. This encompasses arteriosclerosis as the thickening of the walls within the arterial tree that makes it stiff so that blood cannot easily move across the walls of blood vessels to reach tissues […]

Modern cardiology is an imaging and image analysis technique that provides a very detailed look at the heart and its blood vessels to diagnose, monitor, and manage cardiovascular diseases. Technologies include echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear imaging, which allow clinicians to directly visualize cardiac structures, study blood flow, and functionally […]
