: Although ranolazine has been available for years as a second-line treatment to reduce angina attacks in patients with stable angina pectoris, real-world data on the effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of ranolazine are limited. : A non-interventional, prospective study was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of ranolazine. Patients eligible for enrolment had a baseline assessment between one and fourteen days after initiating ranolazine for the first time and a follow-up visit three months later.

- The study evaluates left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) and left atrial (LA) strain in cirrhotic patients to understand cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) and its link to liver disease severity.
- It involved 135 patients and used standard echocardiography and advanced techniques to measure heart function and fat mass, defining CCM based on specific cardiac dysfunction criteria.
- Findings indicated that higher MELD scores, which assess liver disease severity, correlated with an increase in LV-GLS, and both MELD score and LA reservoir strain were significant predictors of patient outcomes.
Objectives: Optimal regulation of modifiable risk factors has been proposed as the standard of care both for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to assess primary and secondary cardiovascular risk management received before admission for an acute coronary event.
Methods: Data were analyzed for 185 consecutive hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the Cardiology department of a University hospital during an annual period (1/7/2019 until 30/6/2020).
The association of insulin resistance measured through the estimated glucose disposal rate with predictors of micro-and macrovascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Background And Aim: Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with a higher rate of type 1 diabetes (T1D) complications. We aimed to examine the relationship between estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a readily available marker of IR in clinical practice and early predictor biomarkers of macrovascular and microvascular complications in patients with T1D.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Antihypertensive drugs are among the most documented regimens worldwide with an overall survival and cardioprotective benefit. However, there is evidence that they cause symptoms of orthostatic hypotension (i.e.
