In this retroprospective study, patients who presented with the clinical features of OIS or who had a history of OIS and who had visited the Department of Ophthalmology or who were referred by the Department of Cardiology were considered for inclusion. The patients of OIS were included according to

Patients admitted to the Cardiology Hospital, National Medical Center Century XXI, will be included and a permanent pacemaker will be installed due to alterations in atrio-ventricular conduction that meet the selection criteria. They will be explained what the research consists of and they will be

- All sites were monitored randomly every year. Trained monitors were designated to monitor the process, compliance of enrollment criteria and accuracy of original data by visiting every site. - In order to make sure the accuracy of data collected, we make some restrictions (range or format) and

Clinical background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter (POAF) is the most common complication after cardiac surgery requiring intervention or prolonged hospital stay . Affecting 10-65% of patients , this arrhythmia is associated with increased mortality, considerable morbidity

Background Clinical Background Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease and an important public-health problem. It is present in approximately 25% of all adults aged >65 years. Decisions about surgical or interventional aortic valve replacement are based on symptoms and measures of

Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is a complex mechanism that serves the essential and vital purpose of controlling cerebral blood flow and metabolism. A stable and optimal brain blood flow is imperative for normal brain function; therefore normal function of CA is crucial for brain health. Diabetes

Background : Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, sporadic progressive neurodegenerative disorder, rapidly leading to severe disability and impairment of quality of life. MSA is characterized by a variable combination of a poor levodopa parkinsonism and /or cerebellar ataxia and autonomic

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging involves injection of radioactive tracers (small amounts of biologically active molecules with radioactive atoms attached) and scanning the body to see where the tracers localize, and how intensely they "stick" there. The tracers are used in such small

Dysautonomia resulting in decreased HRV and impaired BRS, which may be accompanied by supine hypertension, is known to play a role in the development and progression of hypertension, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease including left ventricular hypertrophy and congestive heart failure as

The study is designed as a single escalating dose with cohorts of five subjects. Escalation to the next cohort was based on the presence of no more than one subject with a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). The first cohort is to receive 27 mg/m2 intravenous infusion of of CA4P, 36mg/m2 to the second

This is an observational, prospective three-year longitudinal study. The investigators will enroll participants with primary neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. All participants will undergo an extensive neurological and cardiovascular evaluation, including detailed autonomic testing and quality of

Systolic blood pressure is transiently and minimally decreased in healthy individuals upon standing. Normal physiologic feedback mechanisms work through neurally-mediated pathways to maintain the standing blood pressure, and thus maintain adequate cerebral perfusion. The compensatory mechanisms that
