Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is important problems in both developing and developed countries. Currently, non-invasive methods for diagnosis of CVD, especially myocardial infarction (MI), is an interesting subject in the cardiology field. Some evidence showed left bundle branch block (LBBB) is more prevalent among patients with MI. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the frequency of LBBB and their contributing factors in patients with MI.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 150 patients with ST elevation or non-ST elevation on their admission electrocardiography who referred to Boo-Ali and Amir-Al-Momenin hospitals, Tehran from January 2016 to June 2017 entered the study. Frequency of LBBB and right bundle branch block (RBBB) in participants and the contributing factors were determined.
Results: In this study, of 150 cases (mean age: 60.35±12.88 years), 109 (72.7%) were male, and 41 (27.3%) were female. Out of 150 cases, 12 (8%) had LBBB, 5 (3.3%) RBBB, and 133 (89.7%) had not RBBB or LBBB. Contributing factors were family history, hypertension, and history of ischemic heart disease (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Eight percent of patients with myocardial infarction would develop LBBB, which is related to hypertension, and self and family history of ischemic heart disease.

Introduction: This study evaluates various formulae used to correct the QT interval in patients with wide QRS complexes to calculate corrected QT (QTc) following Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT).
Methods: We included patients with severe heart failure and left bundle branch block, presenting with a QRS duration of at least 120 milliseconds, who underwent successful CRT implantation. Patients were excluded if they had non-lateral left ventricular lead placement, metabolic disorders, atrial fibrillation, atrial tachycardia, or high-degree atrioventricular block prior to implantation.

Celery () can be considered as a model plant for studying pectin-enriched primary cell walls. In addition to parenchyma cells with xyloglucan-deficient walls, celery petioles contain collenchyma, a mechanical tissue with thickened cell walls of similar composition. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of these tissues at both early and late developmental stages, integrating data on polysaccharide yield, composition, localization, and transcriptome analysis.

The trained heart adapts through geometric changes influenced by concentric and eccentric hypertrophy, depending on the predominance of the isometric or dynamic components of the exercise performed. Additionally, alterations in heart rhythm may occur due to increased vagal system activity. Cardiological evaluation with an electrocardiogram (ECG) aims to identify cardiac conditions that could temporarily or permanently disqualify an athlete from competition.
