Arrhythmias: Its Occurrence, Risk Factors, Therapy, and Prognosis in Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Background: Patients with acute coronary syndrome may lead to various metabolic and electrophysiological changes that induce both asymptomatic and symptomatic life-threatening arrhythmias, which increases morbidity and mortality.

Methods: This observational retrospective study was conducted at Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Center, Institute of Medicine, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, Nepal. Three hundred ninety-five patients with a diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome were enrolled in the study.

Prevalence of Myocardial Bridging in Angiography Study.

Background: Myocardial bridging is a congenital anomaly in which a segment of epicardial coronary artery takes an intramyocardial course, the systolic compression of which could be asymptomatic or may lead to major hemodynamic changes such as myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. The prevalence is highly variable depending upon different investigational modalities to diagnose it. Here we have aimed to study the prevalence through invasive coronary angiography.

Wafer-scale controlled growth of MoSby magnetron sputtering: from in-plane to inter-connected vertically-aligned flakes.

Recently, Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) has attracted great attention due to its unique characteristics and potential applications in various fields. The advancements in the field have substantially improved at the laboratory scale however, a synthesis approach that produces large area growth of MoSon a wafer scale is the key requirement for the realization of commercial two-dimensional (2D) technology. Herein, we report tunable MoSgrowth with varied morphologies via radio frequency magnetron sputtering by controlling growth parameters.

Echocardiographic Findings in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in a Tertiary Care Center of Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent supraventricular arrhythmia responsible for the large morbidity and mortality burden worldwide. There are various causes of atrial fibrillation that may affect the prognosis of patients. This study was intended to determine different echocardiographic findings in patients with atrial fibrillation in a tertiary care center.

Preventing renal and cardiovascular risk by renal function assessment: insights from a cross-sectional study in low-income countries and the USA.

Objective: To assess the prevalence of microalbuminuria and kidney dysfunction in low-income countries and in the USA.

Design: Cross-sectional study of screening programmes in five countries.

Setting: Screening programmes in Nepal, Bolivia, the USA (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2008) Bangladesh and Georgia.
