Background: Coronary artery diseases remain the leading cause of death in the world. The management of this condition has improved remarkably in the recent years owing to the development of new technical tools and multicentric registries.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the in-hospital and 1-year clinical outcomes of patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in Tunisia.

Article Synopsis
- * The study found a 1-year all-cause mortality rate of 22.8% for acute heart failure (AHF) patients and 10.6% for CHF patients, with various factors like age and diabetes influencing these rates.
- * Results indicated that AHF has a poor prognosis, while outcomes for CHF patients are improving, highlighting potential variations based on different healthcare systems and patient characteristics.
Article Synopsis
- * The study included 915 patients, primarily middle-aged, where about 22.4% were found to have valvular AF, and only half of the patients with low embolic risk were prescribed oral anticoagulants.
- * Findings highlighted that the management strategies for AF in Tunisia were inadequate, with concerns over low anticoagulation quality, as evidenced by a 1.64% thromboembolism rate and a notable number of patients not receiving proper antithrom

The purpose of this study was to quantify the proanthocyanidin content of pecan () pericarp extract (PPE) and to assess its useful impacts against carbon tetrachloride (CCl)-induced hepatotoxicity. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: Group 1: received intraperitoneal injection of saline solution, Group 2: was injected with PPE (25 mg/kg body weight) for 10 consecutive days, Group 3: received CCl (0.5 ml/kg, subcutaneous injection), Group 4: was coadministred with PPE + CCl.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important health problem in Tunisia. A significant change in the epidemiological pattern of heart disease has been seen in the last 3 decades; however, no large prospective multicenter trial reflecting national data has been published so far. Robust data on the contemporary epidemiological profile and management of AF patients in Tunisia are limited.
