Latest Research

Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Sick Sinus Syndrome (SSS)
  • Journal: Reviews in cardiovascular medicine
  • Treatment Used: Theophylline vs Cilostazol
  • Number of Patients: 80
  • Published —
This study compared the effects of theophylline and cilostazol in patients with sick sinus syndrome (disease in which the heart's natural pacemaker located in the upper right heart chamber becomes damaged and is no longer able to generate normal heartbeats at the normal rate) who have declined permanent pacing.
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Intermittent Angina and Myocardial Infarction after Large Proximally Occluded Left Anterior Descending (LAD) Artery
  • Journal: BMJ case reports
  • Treatment Used: Primary Angioplasty after Distal Intracoronary Infusion of Nicorandil Solution Mixed with Contrast Media
  • Number of Patients: 1
  • Published —
This case report describes a 50-year-old woman diagnosed with large proximally occluded left anterior descending (LAD) artery treated with primary angioplasty after distal intracoronary infusion of nicorandil solution mixed with contrast media.
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Sick Sinus Syndrome and Chronotropic Incompetence
  • Journal: International heart journal
  • Treatment Used: Closed-Loop Stimulation (CLS)
  • Number of Patients: 1
  • Published —
This article evaluated the effectiveness of closed-loop stimulation (stimulation that automatically adjusts to the patient’s situation within just a few minutes; CLS) in a patient with sick sinus syndrome (inability of the heart's natural pacemaker to create a heart rate that's appropriate for the body's needs) and chronotropic incompetence (the inability of the heart to increase its rate commensurate with increased activity or demand) with hypotension (low blood pressure) during dialysis (process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally).
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Heart Tumor
  • Journal: The heart surgery forum
  • Treatment Used: Surgery
  • Number of Patients: 6
  • Published —
In this study, researchers evaluated the outcomes of undergoing surgery for heart tumors in children that cause rhythm disturbances.
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Mitral Valve Surgery
  • Journal: Journal of cardiac surgery
  • Treatment Used: Left Atriotomy (LA) vs Superior Trans-Septal (STS) Approach
  • Number of Patients: 319
  • Published —
This study compared the effectiveness of left atriotomy (surgical opening of an atrium; LA) versus superior trans-septal (STS) approach in mitral valve surgery (surgery to either repair or replace the mitral valve in the heart).
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia/Neuropathy
  • Journal: World neurosurgery
  • Treatment Used: Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
  • Number of Patients: 1
  • Published —
In this study, researchers sought to determine the best treatment for glossopharyngeal neuralgia/neuropathy with cardiac symptoms in an elderly man.
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Atrial Fibrillation
  • Journal: Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology
  • Treatment Used: Second-Generation Cryoballoon (CB)
  • Number of Patients: 806
  • Published —
This study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of superior vena cava (SVC) isolation using second-generation cryoballoon (CB) ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (heart quivering).
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Heart Failure (HF) in People with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
  • Journal: The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
  • Treatment Used: Pharmacological Interventions
  • Number of Patients: 43374
  • Published —
This review of the literature looked at the benefits and harms of pharmacological interventions for heart failure (HF) (i.e., antihypertensive agents, inotropes, and agents that may improve the heart performance indirectly) in people with heart failure and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Kawasaki Disease (KD)
  • Journal: Medicine
  • Treatment Used: Rotational Atherectomy and Drug Coated Balloon
  • Number of Patients: 1
  • Published —
This case report discusses a patient with coronary sequelae of Kawasaki disease (KD) treated with rotational atherectomy and drug coated balloon (DCB).
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Complex Non-Occlusive Coronary Artery Disease
  • Journal: The American journal of cardiology
  • Treatment Used: Chronic Total Occlusion Recanalization Versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
  • Number of Patients: 2396
  • Published —
The study compared the effects of chronic total occlusion recanalization versus percutaneous coronary intervention for complex non-occlusive coronary artery disease.
Latest Advance

  • Treatment Used: Paranasal sinus air suction
  • Number of Patients: 50
  • Published —
The study researched the effects of paranasal sinus air suction (suction through a tube in the nose) for acute migraine.
Latest Advance
Study
  • Condition: Neonates and Infants Requiring Life-Long Cardiac Pacing
  • Journal: International journal of cardiology
  • Treatment Used: Epicardial Leads
  • Number of Patients: 71
  • Published —
