cardiotoxicity/potassium

Introduction Methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) is one of the modalities to prevent HIV transmission among injected drug users, particularly in opioid-dependent users. However, methadone-associated cardiotoxicity is one of the fatal adverse events that limit the widespread usage in certain groups

Overdose or poisonings with cardioactive drugs can have serious consequences. In recent years, intravenous lipid emulsion has emerged as a possible treatment option in otherwise treatment-resistant cardiovascular collapse caused by poisonings with cardio-active drugs. Experimental evidence obtained

1. Background During the past 30 years, survival of breast cancer patients has improved substantially due to earlier diagnosis, improved surgical techniques, introduction of new combination of chemotherapy, new hormonal treatment, introduction of targeted treatment, and refinement of radiation

1.0 Background While atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring therapy, it is also associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, dementia, and death.

Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited haemoglobinopathy caused by a point missense mutation (GAG to GTG) in the beta globin gene that resulted in the substitution of an acidic amino acid ( glutamic acid) with a neutral and hydrophobic amino acid (valine) in the codon 6 of the beta globin chain. This

Prospective, randomized pharmacological intervention study Primary objectives: - to determine whether concurrent ATII-antagonist treatment can prevent trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity, defined as a decline in LVEF of more than 15% or a decrease to an absolute value <45% Secondary objectives: - To
