Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. It is estimated that 17.9 million people died from CVDs in 2019, which represents 32 % of all deaths worldwide.

Elevated Na/Cl ratio has shown to be independently associated with all-cause death in acute HF. We evaluated changes in serum chloride concentrations and Na/Cl ratio in correlation with various clinical factors during 12 months of follow-up in patients in whom SGLT2is were initiated as part of HF therapy.

In order to evaluate the type and prevalence of perfusion defects, we performed a longitudinal analysis of combined perfusion single-photon emission and low-dose computed tomography (Q-SPECT/CT scan) in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Methods: Consecutive patients with severe COVID-19 (B.
Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of key factors causing heart failure. We performed a comprehensive analysis of expression of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) genes in heart failure.
Methods: Myocardial samples were obtained from patients with ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy in a terminal stage of heart failure and donors without heart disease.
Background: An application of a novel method of a quantifier elimination in epidemiology was presented in this paper.
Objective: We investigated the existence of the endemic equilibrium for the SEIRS model by QE method and gave a short review of the epidemic prediction models for covid-19.
Methods: A new method for quantifier elimination for the theory of real closed fields.
