Link between Yoga and Heart Rate Variability: Can Yoga Enhance the Cardiac Resonance.

Cardiac resonance is a complicated phenomenon involving the coordinated oscillations of numerous circulatory system components, such as electrical activity, contraction and relaxation, and blood flow. It is critical for the normal functioning of the heart and for maintaining blood flow throughout the body. Cardiac resonance is defined as a series of tiny waves produced by the heartbeat and overlaid on flow data and airway pressures.

Association between homocysteine and coronary artery disease-trend over time and across the regions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The association of homocysteine with coronary artery disease (CAD) has been explored previously with mixed findings. The present Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (SRMA) has assessed the pooled estimate of association between homocysteine (Hcy) and CAD, and its variation over the period and geography.

Methods: Systematic literature search was done in PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane to identify the observational studies that have reported mean Hcy among cases (CAD) and control.

ENVINet5 deep learning change detection framework for the estimation of agriculture variations during 2012-2023 with Landsat series data.

Remote sensing is one of the most important methods for analysing the multitemporal changes over a certain period. As a cost-effective way, remote sensing allows the long-term analysis of agricultural land by collecting satellite imagery from different satellite missions. Landsat is one of the longest-running world missions which offers a moderate-resolution earth observation dataset.

An Unusual Case of Post-partum Native Tricuspid Valve Infective Endocarditis.

Native valve infective endocarditis during pregnancy or the peripartum period is a rare entity with significant morbidity and mortality. Rheumatic heart disease was previously considered a significant risk factor, changing to intravenous drug abuse in recent decades. We hereby report a case of tricuspid native valve endocarditis complicating the peri-partum period in a young female without underlying traditional risk factors, who improved with medical therapy alone.

Successful Endovascular Rescue Using the Brockenbrough Needle Following Inadvertent Stent-Graft Deployment in the False Lumen.

Inadvertent deployment of stent grafts into the false lumen during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is rare and is associated with catastrophic consequences. We present a case of accidental stent-graft deployment from the true lumen into the false lumen during TEVAR, resulting in hemodynamic collapse and visceral malperfusion. We successfully performed a bailout using the Brockenbrough needle to create new access from the true lumen to the false lumen and implanted another overlapping stent graft.

Major Aortopulmonary Collaterals From Coronary Arteries and Dual Left Anterior Descending Artery in an Adult With Tetralogy of Fallot.

Major aortopulmonary collaterals (APCs) are more common with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with pulmonary atresia. Collateral arteries, when present, arise most commonly from the descending thoracic aorta, less commonly from the subclavian arteries, and rarely from the abdominal aorta or its branches or from the coronary arteries. Collaterals arising from the coronary arteries can cause myocardial ischemia due to coronary steal phenomenon.

Long-term hepatic and cardiac health in patients diagnosed with Sheehan's syndrome.

Purpose: Sheehan's syndrome (SS) is characterised by chronic pituitary insufficiency following a vascular insult to the pituitary in the peripartum period. There is a lack of substantial evidence on the long-term hepatic and cardiac consequences in these patients, following hormone replacement.

Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of SS were recruited for the study.

Changing spectrum of infective endocarditis in India: An 11-year experience from an academic hospital in North India.

Objective: Several studies have demonstrated a shift in the spectrum of infective endocarditis (IE) in the developed world. We aimed to investigate whether demographic and microbiologic characteristics of IE have changed in India.

Design: A retrospective analysis of patients with in north India between 2010 and 2020.

Real-World Clinical Outcomes of Indigenous Biodegradable Polymer Drug-Eluting Stents.

Introduction The durable polymer has been shown to cause neoatherosclerosis, and chronic local inflammation, predisposing individuals to in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis (ST). The biodegradable polymer stents, which degrade after the desired function of drug release is achieved, allow for endothelial healing. Indigenous coronary stent manufacturing and its use are on the rise nowadays, and their safety and efficacy have been studied in well-structured clinical trials.

Idiopathic right ventricular pseudoaneurysm presenting with ventricular tachycardia: a case report.

Right ventricular (RV) pseudoaneurysm is very rare and is seen after penetrating chest trauma, cardiac surgery, infective endocarditis, myocardial infarction, syphilis, endomyocardial biopsy, lead extraction. Idiopathic right ventricular pseudoaneurysm is even rarer. They have varied presentations depending on the etiology.

Real world perspective of coronary chronic total occlusion in third world countries: A tertiary care centre study from northern India.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, angiographic profile and predictors of outcome for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) in a tertiary referral centre of north India.

Background: There is no data on the prevalence and very few reports on clinical characteristics, angiographic profile and outcome of PCI in CTO from India.

Methods: Retrospective analysis was done for the data of 12,020 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) between January 2018 to January 2019 at our centre.

Submitral aneurysm of varied aetiologies: a case series.

Background: Submitral aneurysm is a rare disease initially described in the African population. It is usually considered congenital in origin, due to a defect in the posterior portion of the mitral annulus. However, it can be seen in other diseases like ischaemic heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, infective endocarditis, tuberculosis, and syphilis.

Awareness and adherence to primary and primordial preventive measures among family members of patients with myocardial infarction-the unmet need for a "Preventive Clinic".

Cardiovascular diseases remain the most common cause of sudden death and cause significant morbidity. We planned this study to assess awareness of cardiovascular risk factors among kin of myocardial infarction patients. We assessed 382 individuals for their knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors.

Giant right atrial myxoma presenting as right heart failure: a rare manifestation.

A 37-year-old man was presented in outpatient clinic of cardiology department with symptoms of easy fatigability and progressive increasing generalised anasarca since 5 months. Echocardiogram showed large mass of 9.8×7.
