Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an umbrella term that includes various pathologies involving the heart and vasculature system of body. CVD leading cause death worldwide, accounting for estimated 32% all deaths. More than 40% annual deaths in Jordan are due to CVD; this number further expected rise, particularly Eastern Mediterranean region where located. Due chronic nature CVD, presence a caregiver who can help mitigate challenges patients face essential, their level knowledge determines...
Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome with different signs and symptoms that present in chronic acute forms. This study aimed to compare HF (AHF) (CHF) regarding demographics, baseline characteristics comorbidities, outcomes. sub-analysis of the Jordanian registry (JoHFR). A total 21 medical centers representing diverse range facilities participated study. The studied data included history, risk factors, involved 2151 patients. Patients AHF were more likely be have diabetes (P=0.001),...

Background: Due to the strong relationship between stress and heart disease, particularly acute myocardial infarction (MI), this study investigated complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) among Syrian refugee patients referred Jordan University Hospital its relation war-related stressors. Methods: This is a retrospective that utilized SYNTAX I score in order evaluate all refugees underwent catheterization at during period May 2014 December 2017. Results: There was significant association...
Thyroid disease is a well-established risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, only handful of studies examined its impact on treatment. This study aims to report the prevalence rate thyroid in patients with AF and demonstrate effect treatment.We retrospectively analyzed Jordanian Atrial Fibrillation Study (JoFib). Among Jordan Palestine, were evaluated their sociodemographic, clinical, pharmacological characteristics.A total 2000 (53.3% males, mean age 67.6 ± 13.1 years) enrolled...
(1) Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia causing an increased risk of mortality and morbidity. It classified into paroxysmal non-paroxysmal AF depending on duration frequency episodes. (2) Aims: Our goal was to investigate compare clinical profiles, co-morbidities, use oral anticoagulation, outcomes patients with in inpatient outpatient settings. (3) Methods: Data were extracted from 28 different hospitals centers Jordan a total 2160 enrolled study using...
Background: A recanalizing-process might decrease the incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO) at a late assessment postcatheterization opposed to an early assessment. In this study, we evaluated rate RAO period. Materials & methods: retrospective case-control design was adapted including 148 patients who underwent trans-radial cardiac catheterization 7 18 months ago. The primary outcome assess mentioned period while secondary outcomes were risk factors and symptoms associated with...
Background and Objectives: Patients with AF are at increased risk for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) owing to their shared etiologies factors. This study aimed assess the prevalence, cardiovascular factors, used medications of CAD in patients. Materials Methods: retrospective, case-control utilized data from Jordanian Atrial Fibrillation (Jo-Fib) registry. Investigators collected clinical features, history co-existing comorbidities, CHA2DS2-VASc, HAS BLED scores all patients aged >18...
Objective: This study evaluates the rate of vascular complications following diagnostic cardiac catheterization and percutaneous intervention (PCI) at Jordan University Hospital. Methods: We reviewed records 1000 consecutive patients who underwent or PCI. Vascular including: minor hematoma > 5 cm in diameter, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula major bleeding with a hemoglobin drop ≥3 gm/dl requiring transfusion, limb ischemia death related to complication. In addition, clinical variables...
The aim of this study is to investigate whether gated single photo emission tomography (gSPET) can be used detect subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in obese diabetic type II patients.We retrospectively reviewed gSPET images 190 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM II) (137 females and 53 males) normal myocardial perfusion ejection fraction (EF). Standardized twenty segment polar maps thickening motion were generated. Correlation between body mass index (BMI) for each...
Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are one of the most common side effects statins. This study aimed to explore significance SAMS among statin users by comparing with a control group. To achieve our aims, propensity score matching retrospective cohort was conducted in single center tertiary hospital. The were assessed using Proposed Statin Myalgia Index Score, whereas patient's adherence medications evaluated Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8. We included 743 patients study; them,...
The pathophysiology of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is under investigated and not well understood. Atherosclerosis considered as the main etiologic factor for CAE in adults where more than 50% patients have atherosclerosis. Recently, lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) has emerged a powerful risk atherosclerosis disease (CAD). Serum levels Lp(a) with been investigated. We assumed that may play role pathogenesis CAE. Principally, our study aims to identify whether an independent CAE.Our prospective...

Practitioners were aware their apron’s weight but...
Studies on the impact of hypertension (HTN) outcome patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in Middle East are scarce. The aim this contemporary multicenter study is to evaluate effect coexisting HTN baseline clinical profiles and 1-year prognosis a cohort Eastern AF. Consecutive AF 29 hospitals cardiology clinics were enrolled Jordan (May 2019-December 2020). Patients prospectively followed up for 1 year, had no influence their treatment, which was at discretion treating physician. We...
Echocardiography is widely used in the evaluation of patients with chest pain and can provide important information regarding left ventricular function, valvular competency, structural defects. The authors report a patient whom transesophageal echocardiography confirmed presence sinus Valsalva aneurysm (SVA), an uncommon congenital defect proximal aorta that may be associated high morbidity mortality. Aneurysm results from separation aortic media annulus. It often result cardiac but also...
Abstract Introduction Anticoagulation has been shown to be highly effective in stroke prevention patients who have atrial fibrillation (AF). Many with AF do not symptoms and may seek medical attention. In this study we evaluated the clinical profiles of asymptomatic (AAF) compared them symptomatic ones find what factors are associated absence symptoms. Methods We analyzed data 2000 enrolled prospective multicenter Jordan from May 2019 October 2020. Symptoms included palpitations (43%),...
