Cardiac Complications and COVID-19: A Review of Life-threatening Co-morbidities
Curr Cardiol Rev. 2024 Feb 20. doi: 10.2174/011573403X279782240206091322. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe novel 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported in the last days of December 2019 in Wuhan, China. The presence of certain co-morbidities, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), are the basis for worse outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Relevant English-language literature was searched and retrieved from the Google Scholar search engine and PubMed database up to 2023 using COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, Heart failure, Myocardial infarction, and Arrhythmia and Cardiac complication as keywords. Increased hemody...

Peripheral Microvascular Dysfunction in Children and Adults with Congenital Heart Disease: A Literature Review
Curr Cardiol Rev. 2024 Feb 21. doi: 10.2174/011573403X278440240209064408. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough there is a continually growing number of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) due to medical and surgical advances, these patients still have a poorer prognosis compared to healthy individuals of similar age. In patients with heart failure, microvascular dysfunction (MVD) has recently emerged as a crucial modulator of disease initiation and progression. Because of the substantial pathophysiological overlap between CHD and heart failure induced by other etiologies, MVD could be important in the pathophysi...

Pharmacological Triggers of Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: An Updated Review of Evidence and Recommendations
CONCLUSION: The recent 75 drugs provided additional evidence linking to TCM development. The updated list predominantly includes drugs that induce sympathetic overstimulation, although some drugs on the list have unclear associations with sympathetic nervous system activation.PMID:38367261 | DOI:10.2174/011573403X273613240125072754 (Source: Current Cardiology Reviews)

Ignored Role of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in the Pathophysiology of Cryptogenic Stroke in Patients with Patent Foramen Ovale and Atrial Septal Aneurysm
Curr Cardiol Rev. 2024 Feb 1. doi: 10.2174/011573403X267669240125041203. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe association between cryptogenic stroke (CS) and patent foramen ovale (PFO) with or without atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) has been a debate for decades in terms of pathophysiologic processes and clinical courses. This issue has become more interesting and complex, because of the concerns associating the CS with so-called normal variant pathologies of interatrial septum, namely ASA and PFO. While there is an anatomical pathology in the interatrial septum, namely PFO and ASA, the embolic source of stroke is not clearly de...
