Study about Afterload-Mismatch: An Approach to Its Importance in Surgical Decision Making
The current research focuses on hemodynamic stresses and their impact on ventricular function. Heart failure caused by intrinsic myocardial injury causes high surgical mortality in valvular heart disease. When a patient survives surgery, his or her functional class frequently deteriorates, and intermediate-term mortality is significant. When heart failure is...

Sleep Disorders and Their Relationship with Cardiovascular Diseases: A Review
Sleep is a physiological process that happens to everyone. Approximately one-third of a person’s life is spent sleeping. Sleeping for 7-9 hours a day, falling asleep effortlessly and staying asleep without interruption, waking up feeling refreshed, and remaining awake during the day are all signs of restorative sleep. Sleep...

A Study of the Correlation between Brain-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) Levels & Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) in Heart Failure
Background: A large number of patients with heart failure have a maintained ejection fraction. It’s difficult to tell the difference between heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction. The study’s goals are as follows: BNP levels were measured in patients...

Rheumatic Mitral Valve Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis of 1025 Cases
The purpose of this study is to highlight the unique features of rheumatic mitral valve disease as well as surgical treatment options. We’ll look at which prognostic factors influenced long-term mitral valve repair and replacement results. The researchers looked at 1025 patients who underwent mitral valve surgery at the...

Decoding the Cardio-vascular Pathophysiology in COVID-19
The global pandemic caused by Coronavirus 19 (SARS-CoV-19) spread quickly and affected the entire world, with the most cases reported in the United States, India, and Brazil. According to WHO data as of September 24, 2020, Coronavirus 19 (SARS-CoV-19) infected 31,664,104 people and killed 972,221 [1]. Globally, the age-normalized...

Usefulness of Echocardiography in the Management of Heart Failure
Morbidity and mortality from heart failure is on the increase globally due to rising prevalence rates and lack of appropriate evaluation and therapy. Approximately 50% of heart failure patients present with evidence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. This is manifested as low left ventricular ejection fraction and is also...

Restrictive Cardiomyopathies: Diagnosis and Management
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is the least common among cardiomyopathies, it can be idiopathic, familial (autosomal or X-linked, dominant or recessive) or secondary to systematic disorders. Patients commonly present with symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure (HF). Electrocardiographic findings are non-specific and include supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, atrioventricular conduction...
