The Association Between the rs2200733 SNP and Atrial Fibrillation Among Arabs: A Study from Jordan.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common disorder featured by an irregular and fast heartbeat. The etiology of AFib is complex and involves genetic and environmental factors. The rs2200733 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is located in close proximity to the promoter of paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 (PITX2) which plays a role in heart development.

Coexistence of Standard Modifiable, Other Classical, and Novel and Classical Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Middle Eastern Young Women.

Background: The coexistence of multiple standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs),classical and novel risk factors (RFs) for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is common in the Middle East (ME). There is a paucity of data on the coexistence of these RFs in ME young women.

Aim: Comparing the prevalence and the statistical patterns of the SMuRFs, classical and novel RFs in target population.

Association of Body Mass Index with Outcomes in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Analysis from the (JoFib) Registry.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) accounts for the majority of arrhythmias affecting adults. It is associated with an increased mortality and various complications. Obesity being a major risk factor of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases including AF has always been connected to the overall burden of AF, but its role in the development of AF complications remains unclear.

Statin Eligibility according to 2013 ACC/AHA and USPSTF Guidelines among Jordanian Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: The Impact of Gender.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate statin eligibility among Middle Eastern patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who had no prior use of statin therapy, according to 2013 ACC/AHA and 2016 USPSTF guidelines, and to compare statin eligibility between men and women. This was a retrospective multicenter observational study of all adult patients admitted to five tertiary care centers in Jordan with a first-time AMI, no prior cardiovascular disease, and no prior statin use between April 2018 and June 2019. Ten-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk score was estimated based on ACC/AHA risk score.

An observational study of the occurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) among jordanian patients: Identifying the influence of Ramadan Fasting.

Introduction: Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) tend to face several health issues during the Holy month of Ramadan, due to the change in dietary patterns. This study aims to investigate the influence of fasting during Ramadan on the occurrence of ACS.

Methods: The study followed a retrospective observational design, and was conducted in King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) of Jordan, during the period of June 06, 2016 to Aug 08, 2016 and May 27, 2017 to July 27, 2017.

The effectiveness of early position change postcardiac catheterization on patient's outcomes: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Nurses play a substantial role in maintaining patient homeostasis postcardiac catheterization. Patients frequently complain of back pain and discomfort as a result of the prolonged bed rest postcatheterization.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early position change postcardiac catheterization on reducing patients' pain and discomfort.

Coronary artery bypass as a treatment of stent dislodgement: A case report.

Introduction: Stent dislodgement is a known complication during coronary angiography. Different methods are used to retrieve it including open heart surgery.

Case Presentation: A 71 year-old male with stable angina was scheduled for elective coronary angiography.
