Objective: To assess the frequency of unrecognized myocardial infarction and identify additional ischemic conditions, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in risk groups, comparing the imaging findings with electro-cardiographic (ECG) and laboratory data in patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, also known as end-stage renal disease.
Materials And Methods: This was a prospective single-center study involving 20 patients who were referred to our radiology department to undergo CMRI between June 2010 and December 2011. Resting left ventricular functions and (early and late) myocardial contrast enhancement were assessed in all patients.

Heart rate turbulence (HRT) is a non-invasive technique that can be used to evaluate autonomic nervous system (ANS) function and cardiac arrhythmia. The objective of this study is to investigate whether COVID-19 can lead to long-term blunted HRT following recovery. This retrospective cohort study included 253 individuals with a confirmed history of COVID-19, referred to as the recovered COVID-19 group, along with 315 healthy participants who had no history of the virus.

Background: Second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs) can cause corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation as a side-effect. This may limit their clinical use and pose safety concerns for patients.
Aims: To analyse the risk of QTc prolongation associated with eight second-generation antipsychotics and observe the timing characteristics of QTc prolongation events and subsequent changes in medication strategies.

Background: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetic myocardial disease characterized by progressive myocyte loss and fibrofatty (fibrous and adipose) tissue replacement to predispose these patients to fatal ventricular arrhythmias and impairment of ventricular systolic function. The relationship of ACM and myocarditis has gained significant attention.
Case Presentation: This case presented a 28-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital with complaints of recurrent lower limb edema and palpitations for 6 months.
