In normal circumstances, AT secretes anti-inflammatory adipokines (AAKs) which regulates lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, vascular hemostasis, and angiogenesis. However, during obesity AT dysfunction occ...
The occurrence of major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs) is infrequent in patients with D-transposition of great arteries (D-TGA) with intact ventricular septum (IVS). Hemodynamically significant MA...
Despite the spontaneous regression of many cases of coronary artery fistulas (CAFs), symptomatic patients or cases with severe shunting may require therapeutic interventions. In the present study, we aimed to ...
Cardiotoxicity is a major concern following doxorubicin (DOX) use in the treatment of malignancies. We aimed to investigate whether deferoxamine (DFO) can prevent acute cardiotoxicity in children with cancer w...

Hemolysis after Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) device closure is rare. Although in most cases, hemolysis settles on its own; however, in some cases it may not settle spontaneously and may require additional pr...
Knowledge of the frequency of precipitating factors for acute heart failure (AHF) is important (either new-onset heart failure [NOHF] or worsening heart failure [WHF]), as this can guide strategies for prevent...
