Approaches to rhythm control: Impact of electrical cardioversion versus pharmacological management on left atrial size and systolic performance in atrial fibrillation and flutter
Aim To compare the impact of electrical cardioversion (ECV) and pharmacological cardioversion (PCV) on left atrial size (LA) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), as well as to identify predictors of rhythm disorder recurrence in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL).Methods A prospective observational cohort study...

Heart and kidney crosstalk: risk factors, clinical features, and short-term outcomes associated with acute kidney injury in patients suffering acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
Aim Acute kidney injury (AKI) presents a high mortality complication in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Yet, its correlation with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) remains neglected in the literature. This study aims to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, clinical features, and short-term outcomes associated wit...
