Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from pulmonary (ARCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly, with an uncertain prevalence and often diagnosed incidentally. This case report presents 62-year-old male ARCAPA during evaluation for chest surgery. The patient had history colon cancer active tuberculosis, complicating clinical management. He reported pain, shortness breath, palpitations, atrial fibrillation observed on 24 h Holter ECG. Coronary angiography revealed robust collateral...
Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare congenital anomalies, presenting in 0.05–0.9% of cases, characterized by an aberrant connection between a coronary and cardiac chamber or great vessel. Clinical manifestations can include heart failure, myocardial ischemia due to steal, arrhythmias, infective endocarditis. We report case 39-year-old man initially evaluated 2016 for peripheral edema suspected right ventricular (RV) abnormality. Earlier assessments indicated left anterior descending...
Background/Objectives: Congenital heart disease (CHD), affecting approximately 1% of live births, has transitioned to a chronic condition due advances in diagnostics and surgery, resulting an increasing adult congenital (ACHD) population. This study characterizes the clinical demographic profiles ACHD patients Serbia, focusing on anomalies, mortality rates, key factors identify opportunities for improving care outcomes. Methods: observational single-center was conducted at Cardiovascular...

Removal the electromyographic (EMG) noise is particularly challenging due to its spectral overlap with QRS complex.

Background and Objectives. Distinct pressure curve differences exist between akinetic (A-LVA) dyskinetic (D-LVA) aneurysms. In D-LVA, left ventricular (LV) ejection decreases relative to the aneurysm size, whereas A-LVA does not impact curves, indicating that decrease in stroke volume (SV) cardiac output is proportional size of dyskinesia. This study aimed assess frequency determine parameters (volume surface area), evaluate predictive using echocardiography D-LVA. Furthermore, it compare...
Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF), a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, significantly impacts the quality of life those affected. The preferred treatment for symptomatic AF, particularly when pharmacological methods fall short, is catheter ablation with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). While common (PV) anatomical variants, such as right accessory ostium left veins (LCPV), have been studied extensively, their impact on long-term outcome PVI known to be minimal. However, data less...
Abstract Microinflammation is a non-traditional risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases in patients on hemodialysis. It occurs 30-50% these patients, and its main causes are: uremic toxins, oxidative stress, metabolic acidosis, vitamin D deficiency, overhydration, altered intestinal microbiome, impaired epithelial barrier integrity, increased translocation endotoxin from lumen into systemic circulation, occult infection vascular approach hemodialysis, periodontal disease,...
Background and Objectives: Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is associated with a decline in cardiac function, evidenced by lower ejection fraction (EF), due to the reduction proportion of functional myocardium. The left end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), (LVAV), LVAV/LVEDV ratio show strong correlation EF. aim this study was determine LVA characteristics post-myocardial infarction (basal vs. apical) evaluate impact diastole (LVAVd), area (LVAAd), their respective ratios LVEDV (LVEDA) on EF, order...
Introduction: Schwannomas are benign peripheral nerve tumors, more often localized in soft tissues than bones. Out of about 200 recorded cases schwannoma bone, only three scapula have been described to date. Case report: We present the case a 73-year-old female patient with an asymptomatic schwanno-ma scapula. Physical examination revealed solid, fixed, well-defined walnut-size tumefaction right area. CT chest confirmed 2.33 x 0.96 cm diameter tumor at junction upper-third and middle-third...
ECG measurements at rest are susceptible to different kinds of noise which may affect clinical interpretation. Unlike the low-frequency body movements or spectrally well-defined power line interference, broadband electromyographic (EMG) coincides with QRS complex, makes its removal particularly challenging. While a number algorithms have been developed, their evaluation and comparison long remained challenging due lack database EMG-contaminated genuine noise-free signals. We recently...
