Article Synopsis
- - Pulmonary edema occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs' alveoli, and can be classified as either cardiogenic (related to heart issues) or noncardiogenic (not related to heart problems).
- - Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is often linked to congestive heart failure (CHF) and is typically treated with loop diuretics, with torsemide and furosemide being effective options due to their ability to reduce heart pressure levels.
- - Torsemide may be preferable over furosemide because it has better absorption and efficacy, showing good results when given intravenously for cardiogenic pulmonary edema, but further studies are necessary to evaluate its effectiveness in non-cardiogenic cases.
Background: Non stent-based local drug delivery with drug-coated balloon (DCB) is an alternative to drug-eluting stent with favorable clinical applicability in the treatment of selected coronary lesions. Our purpose was to report the initial performance, safety and efficacy evaluations of a novel sirolimus-coated balloon in the treatment of coronary lesions.
Methods: This was a phase I (first-in-man), prospective, multicenter, single-arm trial evaluating the novel SELUTION SLR™ DCB (M.
Heart rate (HR) is strongly associated with both peripheral and central blood pressures. This association has implications in hypertension (HTN) prognosis and management. Elevated HR in HTN further elevates the risk of adverse outcomes.

Inflammatory processes play an important role in atherosclerosis, which is intimately related to AMI. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines ratios and AMI.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey of a random sample of the population aged >/=40 years old in the Municipal Corporation area of Siliguri. Study variables were age, sex, occupation, addiction, food habit, physical activity, body mass index, blood pressure, and electrocardiogram change.
Background: Worldwide coronary heart disease (CHD) is estimated to be the leading cause of death. Current knowledge about prevention of CHD is mainly derived from developed countries. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the association of CHD with ratios of different lipoproteins and apolipoproteins, LDL particle size, as well as different traditional risk factors in Asian Indian population in Eastern part of India.

One hundred consecutive confirmed MI patients were selected as a case group. One hundred age-, sex- and income-matched controls were selected from visitors other than relatives who attended these patients.
