The efficacy of convolutional neural network (CNN)-enhanced electrocardiography (ECG) in detecting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated HCM (dHCM) remains uncertain in real-world applications. This retrospective study analyzed data from …

Tamoxifen, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, was initially used to treat cancer in women and more recently to induce conditional gene editing in rodent hearts. However, little is known about the baseline biological effects of tamoxifen on …

Although the treadmill and cycle ergometer are commonly used for exercise stress electrocardiography (ECG) testing, they are often difficult to perform with children. We herein evaluated the utility and safety of the 2-minute jump test (2MJT) as a …

Growth hormone (GH) has a profound effect on the structural and functional maintenance of a normal adult heart. For normal cardiac function in adults, there should be neither a deficiency nor an excess of GH [ 1 ]. It has been shown in previous …

Hypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and is one of the leading cause of mortality worldwide [ 1 ]. Cardiovascular system is the main target of increased blood pressure (BP) and myocardium is the most sensitive cardiac …

The comprehensive assessment of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a complex process, with each step concurrently focusing on confirmation of the diagnosis, differentiation between sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric disease (phenocopy), and …

Electrocardiography electrodes have expiration dates that are foreshortened once the manufacturer’s packaging is opened. A system is described for storing and dispensing these perishable electrodes while tracking their new expiration date for …

Hemodialysis patients with hypercalcemia are less likely to manifest the usual electrocardiographic changes associated with hyperkalemia than in those with normal renal function. This study was conducted to determine whether electrocardiography …

The submitted manuscript is a “Letter to the Editor” with reference to the “Evaluation of electrocardiography, echocardiography and cardiac T2* for cardiac complications in beta thalassemia major” by Fadime Ersoy Dursun et al. (The International …

Cardiac complications such as heart failure and arrhythmias caused by “iron-induced” cardiomyopathy are considered as the primary cause of death in the patients with β-thalassemia major. The aim of this study was to evaluate electrocardiography …
