Background: Autonomic dysfunction plays an essential role in dementia, however, it is not known whether electrocardiogram autonomic dysfunction-related indicators are associated with the severity of dementia. In this study, we attempted to investigate whether these indicators are correlated in patients with vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease compared with normal health individuals. For this purpose, we measured and analyzed the predictive value of heart rate deceleration capacity (DC), heart rate deceleration runs (DRs), heart rate acceleration capacity (AC) along with the plasma levels of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2).

Recent research has demonstrated the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and its active compounds in combating cancer, leading to an increasing utilization of TCM as adjunctive therapy in clinical oncology. However, the optimal dosage of TCM remains unclear, and excessive use may result in cardiotoxicity, which poses a significant health concern for patients undergoing systemic treatment. Therefore, elucidating the underlying mechanisms of cytotoxicity induced by TCM can provide valuable insights for clinical management.

Background: Delays in diagnosing rare genetic disorders often arise due to limited awareness and systemic challenges in primary care. This case highlights the importance of a holistic approach to patient care, encompassing timely detection and comprehensive evaluation of clinical features.
Methods: We report the case of a 21-year-old Ecuadorian male with facial and hand dysmorphias, cardiomegaly, pulmonary hypertension, and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).

Background: Identifying asymptomatic patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a challenge, and their optimal management is less certain, despite similar outcomes to symptomatic AF patients. The 'Atrial fibrillation Better Care' (ABC) pathway has been recently proposed as a holistic or integrated care approach for the comprehensive management of symptomatic patients with AF. We aimed to determine the use of the ABC pathway on clinical outcomes in asymptomatic patients with AF.

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly detracts from health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Despite the promotion of exercise interventions for managing AF, the effectiveness of different exercise modalities remains to be clearly defined. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of various modes of exercise interventions on HRQoL in AF patients.
