The effects of low-dose anthracycline-based chemotherapy on the levels of serum NT-proBNP level and left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunctions: A prospective observational study

Fatemeh Mohammadi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum NT-proBNP levels and LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients who received low-dose anthracycline chemotherapy. The results showed that the levels of NT-proBNP and LV function remained within the normal range, with no significant differences observed.

McConnell's sign: Echocardiography in the management of acute pulmonary embolism

Vishal I. Patel et al.

Summary: Management of acute pulmonary embolism relies on rapid diagnosis and early intervention, with transthoracic echocardiography playing a role in scenarios where CT angiography is not feasible. McConnell's sign, a highly specific echocardiographic finding, can guide therapeutic intervention in cases of acute pulmonary embolism.

What are the echocardiographic findings of acute right ventricular strain that suggest pulmonary embolism?

Stephen Alerhand et al.

Summary: This manuscript reviews ten echocardiographic findings of right ventricular strain that may suggest a diagnosis of PE. Physicians must recognize and understand these findings and associated pathophysiology in order to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of PE.

Colchicine effectively attenuates inflammatory biomarker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial

Arash Gholoobi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of colchicine on hs-CRP levels in NSTEMI patients. The results showed that colchicine significantly reduced hs-CRP levels in NSTEMI patients, with a stronger effect compared to placebo. However, neither colchicine nor placebo treatment could achieve hs-CRP levels lower than 2 mg/L.
