Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists, and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors, and Risk of Hospitalization

Feb 19, 2022 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors, Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists, and Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors, and Risk of Hospitalization

Clinical trials have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA). However, their impact on all-cause and cause-specific hospitalization in real-world practice remains…

Frequency of Electrocardiographic Alterations and Pericardial Effusion in Patients With Uncomplicated Malaria

Feb 19, 2022 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Frequency of Electrocardiographic Alterations and Pericardial Effusion in Patients With Uncomplicated Malaria

Studies have proposed that malaria may lead to electrocardiographic (ECG) changes and pericardial inflammation. We aimed to investigate the frequency of ECG alterations, determined by ECG and Holter monitoring, and…

Rate of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers Use and the Number of COVID-19–Confirmed Cases and Deaths

Feb 19, 2022 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Rate of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers Use and the Number of COVID-19–Confirmed Cases and Deaths

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 uses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor as an entry point to the cell. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a risk factor for COVID-19 with poor outcomes. We…

Ventricular Function in Physiologically Repaired and Unrepaired Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

Feb 19, 2022 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Ventricular Function in Physiologically Repaired and Unrepaired Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

In patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and hemodynamically significant concomitant lesions, physiologic repair may be undertaken, in which the circulation is septated but the morphologic…
