Background: AF is a global health concern, with systemic complications including renal dysfunction. This systematic review and meta-analysis compares the effects of rivaroxaban, a Factor Xa inhibitor, and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) on renal outcomes in AF patients.
Methods: The study protocol is registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023462756).
Background: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), or more recently known as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), is an heritable disorder of the myocardium characterized by progressive fibrofatty replacement the heart muscle and risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). We report a case study to demonstrate the role of gene mutation detection in risk stratification for primary prevention of SCD in a young patient diagnosed with ARVC.
Case Presentation: A 15-year-old Asian (Vietnamese) male patient with no history of documented tachyarrhythmia or syncope and a family history of potential SCD was admitted due to palpitations.
Background: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a rare genetic disease that causes sudden cardiac death (SCD) and arrhythmia. SCN5A pathogenic variants (about 30% of diagnosed patients) are responsible for BrS.
Aims: Lack of knowledge regarding molecular characteristics and the correlation between genotype and phenotype interfere with the risk stratification and finding the optimal treatment in Vietnam.
Background: Hypertension (HTN) significantly contributes to global disease burden, and its prevalence varies amongst different countries and regions. This work is aimed to characterize the hypertensive prevalence and identify risk factors for HTN among the residents in five locations (four communes and one town) of Moc Chau district (Son La province, Vietnam).
Methods: A cross-sectional study with a cross-sectional methodology was done in selected places from August 2018 to December 2018.
