Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular heart disease among older adults and a major cause of heart failure, hospitalization and death. For decades, watchful waiting until symptom onset or left ventricular systoli...
Cardiovascular surgery, particularly when involving cardiopulmonary bypass, is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammation. We have reviewed the potential benefit of supplementation with...
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, with traditional management paradigms increasingly revealing their limitations.
Objective: This article analyzes the updates in the...
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in Vietnam, yet integrating cardiovascular risk assessment into routine clinical practice remains challenging. Since 2021, the Vietnam National Heart Ass...
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) is a rare but catastrophic obstetric emergency with high maternal mortality. Diagnosis is mainly clinical because no specific diagnostic test is available. Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is o...
Objectives: To investigate factors associated with early in-hospital outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Me...
Perioperative management of cardiovascular medications, particularly antithrombotic agents, plays an important role in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 229...
Background: Electrocardiographic characteristics and diagnostic value of supplementary leads in patients with acute myocardial infarction due to left circumflex artery occlusion.
Objectives: To describe the electrocardio...
Objective: To evaluate changes in left ventricular (LV) electrocardiographic (ECG) voltage after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and to identify factors associated with ECG improvement.
Methods: An observational...
This retrospective cross-sectional study aimed to describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics and evaluate in-hospital treatment outcomes among 80 patients with definite infective endocarditis treated at the C...
Objective: To describe aortic valve and root anatomy on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and analyze its association with transcatheter heart valve size and platform selection.
Methods: This single-center retrosp...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with progressive left atrial (LA) remodeling - electrical, structural, and mechanical - that perpetuates the arrhythmia in a self-reinforcing cycle classically described as “AF bege...
Objective: Evaluate coronary artery lesions and analyze related factors in diabetic patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Subjects and methods...
Objective: To describe clinical characteristics and evaluate pregnancy outcomes among women with heart disease from 22 weeks of gestation at Thanh Hoa Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital during 2023-2025.

Objective: To assess right ventricular function and right ventricular-pulmonary arterial (RV-PA) coupling by echocardiography in patients prior to mitral valve surgery.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was co...
Objective: To describe upper-limb vascular abnormalities detected by preoperative Doppler ultrasound mapping, identify factors associated with an unsuitable radial artery and forearm cephalic vein, and evaluate the radia...
