It associated with significant extrapulmonary effects among which cardiovascular complications are most common. Echocardiography evaluation mainly focused on right heart function a salient tool to evaluate presence of degree hypertension also identify those group patients who need more early aggressive therapy for underling lung . We aimed prospectively study diagnosed COPD...
Lipid-lowering is an important intervention to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality after ST-Elevation myocardial infarction. This study aimed assess the proportion of such patients achieving guideline-directed therapeutic low-density lipoprotein cholesterol targets while on lower-range high-intensity statin treatment. a cross-sectional conducted in Shahid Gangalal National Heart Centre, tertiary cardiac center Kathmandu, Nepal, from November 2021 July 2022 among admitted acute...
