Clinical and Angiographic Profiles of Myocardial Infarction in a Young South Indian Population.

Introduction Myocardial infarction (MI) in young South Indians presents a shifting epidemiological landscape, challenging traditional perceptions of cardiovascular diseases. This study investigates the clinical and angiographic profiles of MI in this subgroup of the population in detail, emphasizing the interaction between lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that contribute to the incidence of MI in younger people. Methodology Utilizing a descriptive observational design, the study analyzed data from 70 young adults (aged 18-45 years) admitted to Frontier Lifeline Hospital, Chennai, with acute MI over six months.

Therapeutic adherence in hypertension: Current evidence and expert opinion from India.

Hypertension (HTN) is a globally prevalent non-communicable disease contributing significantly to cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. In achieving control of HTN, therapeutic adherence plays a crucial role. Studies from India identify varying rates of adherence to antihypertensive medications.

Cardiovascular risk profile and management of atrial fibrillation in India: Real world data from RealiseAF survey.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia with high risk for many cardiovascular (CV) complications. Adherence to recommended management guidelines is important to avoid complications. In India, there is little knowledge on how AF is managed in real world.

Off-pump trans-apical trans-catheteraortic valve implantation: first successful case report in India.

Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation has emerged as an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement for patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis considered to be at very high or prohibitive operative risk. We report the first successful Off-pump trans-apical trans-catheter aortic valve implantation in India for a case of severe calcific aortic stenosis with a Logistic Euroscore of 20%.

Congenital Long QT Syndrome presenting as epilepsy.

Epilepsy can sometimes be mimicked in children by other organic conditions. We present a 11 year old boy with the congenital long QT syndrome who had recurrent "seizures" for five years which had been treated as epilepsy.
