Its prevalence has been reported to be low, and there are limited data about the diagnostic strategy, management, and outcome. Initial manifestation of myocarditis can be new-onset heart failure, acute coronary syndrome-like presentation, life-threatening arrhythmia, or even sudden cardiac death. Echocardiography with two-dimensional speckle-tracking mode and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging have pivotal roles in diagnosis and management of the disease. The present study is based on a research on “myocarditis preserved ejection fraction (EF)” or “ myocarditis with normal EF” mainly in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Embase databases. The search focused on the aspects of the disease which is not usually mentioned clearly. In contrast to the myocarditis as a general concept, the total number of clinical studies or case reports in the context of myocarditis with preserved EF is really low. Most treatment strategies have been based on the patient's initial presentation, and there are not enough clinical trials or long-term follow-up studies to confirm the most accurate diagnostic and therapeutic approach. In conclusion, although MCpEF has been known as a subgroup of myocarditis with specific clinical and imaging features, there are still a lot of questions about the diagnosis, management strategy, and patient prognosis which require further studies to be investigated.","PeriodicalId":21031,"journal":{"name":"Research in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44768925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grey literature database and websites of WHO, UNDRR, and PreventionWeb were also searched. After removing duplicate articles, abstracts of the relevant titles were reviewed, and eligible articles were included for full-text review. Finally, the study variables were extracted from selected articles. Results: The search strategy resulted in eight final relevant articles from 48,980 articles. All final articles noted meaningful effect of flood on high blood pressure. There was a positive correlation between anxiety level, property loss, financial loss, physical activity, use of alcoholic beverages, interruption of medication, and medical cares with HTN. Different studies have also reported long-term effects of flooding on blood pressure. Conclusions: The flood has significant effect on high blood pressure in affected population. However, cases of unknown HTN in the affected population should also be considered, so screening is recommended in the affected community.","PeriodicalId":21031,"journal":{"name":"Research in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42362454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When we deploy a balloon over the calcium spur, the tip of the stent does not hit the edge of the calcium spur and the stent gently slides over the hydrophilic slippery balloon forward with ease. We describe a rare case of intervention in anomalous anterior origin of right coronary artery where we were not able to pass the stent across two 90° bends which were harboring calcium spur. In spite of we adopted buddy wire and triple wire technique to make the bend straight, we were not able to move the stent forward, each time it was hitting at the edge of the calcium spur. We put a 2 mm × 10 mm noninflated semicompliant balloon each time while crossing the right-angle bend with calcium spur which covered the calcium spur and over the balloon we were easily able to slide the stent forward, deployed the stent across the lesion, and achieved distal TIMI III flow. We describe this simple novel technique of “sliding the stent over the balloon technique” to cross the calcium spur remaining at 90°-angle bend causing difficulty in forward negotiation of the stent.","PeriodicalId":21031,"journal":{"name":"Research in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46860444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, we have reported the rate of discharged against medical advice (DAMA) among patients referred to chest pain unit (CPU) of a tertiary cardiovascular center and compared their clinical outcomes with whom admitted or managed conservatively. Methods: Patients with modified HEART risk score ≥4 referred to the CPU were included in the present study. Population requiring CPU admission due to positive serial troponin were divided into admitted and DAMA groups. Patients with negative serial troponin were managed as outpatient (conservative treatment group). 30-day major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and all-cause mortality were compared between the study groups. Results: A modified HEART risk score (≥4) was calculated for 440 of 5490 patients visited our CPU. One hundred and one (22.9%), 80 (18.1%), and 249 (56.5%) patients were categorized as DAMA, admitted, and conservative treatment groups, respectively. Myocardial infarction was significantly higher in the DAMA versus admitted group (2 vs. 0; P ≤ 0.001). MACE and all-cause mortality were significantly higher in the DAMA group than that in the conservative treatment group (5 vs. 2; P = 0.02 and 4 vs. 2; P = 0.055, respectively). Conclusion: In the present study, we have demonstrated a considerable rate of DAMA in patients with high modified HEART risk score referring to CPU during the COVID-19 outbreak. Importantly, the DAMA group experienced a higher incidence rate of 30-day MACE and all-cause mortality compared to patients who were admitted or managed conservatively.","PeriodicalId":21031,"journal":{"name":"Research in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44020921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This study was done on 22 COVID-19 patients with ST segment elevation in ECG and high troponin level. COVID-19 was confirmed using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction test. The ECG variables were evaluated by an expert cardiologist. Statistical analyses were carried out on ECG variables where the significance level of 0.05 was assigned. Results: Of 22 patients, 17 cases (77.3%) were male and 6 cases (27.3%) had a history of coronary artery disease. The most common myocardial involvement was extensive anterior type (31.8%), followed by anterior type (22.7%). Sinus rhythm was observed in 95.5% of patients and 54.5% had low voltage ECG in limb leads. No significant correlation was found between low voltage ECG and demonstrable etiologies of low voltage. Conclusion: The prevalence of low voltage ECG was significantly high in limb leads of patients with myocardial injury due to COVID-19 which was considerably greater than that of myocarditis or myocardial infarction patients.","PeriodicalId":21031,"journal":{"name":"Research in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42706663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cardiovascular complication in Type 2 diabetes is often assessed by the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Aim: This study aimed to observe and to find any correlation between LVEF and AIP in newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, we recruited 140 (male 81, female 59) newly diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients from a tertiary care hospital. Plasma lipids were measured from venous blood after 12-h fasting. The LVEF was measured by echocardiography. Data were presented as mean, standard deviation, and statistically tested by Chi-square and Pearson correlation coefficient in IBM SPSS Statistics 20. Results: The mean age of the participants was 53.95 ± 11.63 years (male 53.85 ± 11.12 years, female 54.08 ± 12.39 years, unpaired t-test P = 0.91). The mean LVEF was 0.59 ± 0.06 and 0.6 ± 0.05 (unpaired t-test P = 0.17) in males and females, respectively. The AIP was 0.57 ± 0.07 and 0.57 ± 0.07 (unpaired t-test P = 0.97) in males and females, respectively. There was a negative correlation (r = −0.56, P < 0.001) between LVEF and AIP. Conclusion: Newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients showed a high AIP. Hence, serum lipid profile may be tested early in these patients. Patients with a higher AIP may have lower LVEF. Hence, diabetic patients with a high AIP may be screened for LVEF periodically for early detection and management of heart failure.","PeriodicalId":21031,"journal":{"name":"Research in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41331553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
