Chest pain, associated with diverse aetiologies and management strategies, is a common diagnostic challenge in the emergency department (ED). This study aimed to compare dispatch based on current disposition practices after ED diagnosis with expected
Acute or chronic heart failure is one of the most important entites among cardiac diseases. The treatment of heart failure become to be more and more disease - specific as new treatment options develop over
Ventricular assist devices are increasingly used in the hemodynamic management of the postoperative period of cardiac surgery, either as bridging therapy to transplantation or until recovery from ventricular dysfunction. However, the use of these right-only
In patients presenting at the emergency room with ambivalent vascular symptoms of unclear origin it may be difficult to get a fast and precise diagnosis. However, this may be crucial to reach successful therapy in
Thrombocytopenia (TP) after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is not uncommon and can be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. TP is a recognized complication of treatment with Glycoprotein GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) inhibitors in Acute Coronary
Foetal echocardiography is the ultrasonic evaluation of the human foetal cardiovascular system. Improved operator skill amongst physicians performing general antepartum obstetrical ultrasound, in combination with increased sensitivity of present day ultrasound systems, has resulted in
Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is an established invasive procedure in which samples of myocardial tissue are obtained for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Generally, it is used for cardiac allograft rejection surveillance and evaluation of restrictive
High blood pressure induces pathological changes in arterial conduction and contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and increased cardiovascular risk. The progression of these changes involves both functional and structural components. Still, an increase
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is approved for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis deemed high risk for open replacement. Subclavian approach is the most common alternative to femoral arterial vessel access in patients with
Terlipressin is a vasoconstrictor with effect on vascular smooth muscles in the portal and splanchnic circulation, thereby decreasing blood pressure in esophagus varices. Therefore, terlipressin is recommended as first-line of pharmacological therapy in patients with
If time is critical and if you want your results to be published as soon as possible, we have the policy to expedite the review process. The current average times for the journals are:- submission to first decision - 16 days and submission to final decision - 30 days.
