This systematic review is aimed to identify, evaluate and summarize the role of oral Coenzyme Q10 supplementation in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). CoQ10 is concentrated primarily in the cellular mitochondria where it functions as a co-factor transferring electrons from Complex I to Complex II, III ultimately resulting in the formation of energy in the form of ATP. Coenzyme Q10 an endogenous antioxidant declines in our body because of various factors like aging, diseases and use of certain drugs like statins, beta-blockers which exacerbate its deficiency. Deficiency of this important endogenous antioxidant CoQ10 results in energy depleted state. Published data and research have suggested that Coenzyme Q10 an endogenous antioxidant has a potential for being used in the prevention and treatment of CVDs, in particular in Heart failure and Ischemic heart disease. Supplementation with CoQ10 not only corrects the deficiency of CoQ10 by improving t...

Hybrid and Robotic-Assisted Coronary Artery Revascularization Compared to Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Revascularization by R Todd Drexel in Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Therapy in Juniper Publishers Data were evaluated to compare hybrid and robotic revascularization procedures with conventional coronary artery bypass grafting for the treatment of multi vessel coronary artery disease. https://juniperpublishers.com/jocct/JOCCT.MS.ID.555559.php For more journals please click on:  https://juniperpublishers.com/ For more articles please click on:  https://juniperpublishers.com/jocct/index.php

Heart Failure by Mahmoud Abdelsabour Abdallah in Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Therapy in Juniper Publishers Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. The cardinal manifestations of HF are dyspnea and fatigue, which may limit exercise tolerance, and fluid retention, which may lead to pulmonary congestion and peripheral edema [1]. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice, accounting for approximately one third of admissions resulting from cardiac rhythm disturbances. https://juniperpublishers.com/jocct/JOCCT.MS.ID.555558.php For more articles in Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Therapy please click on https://juniperpublishers.com/jocct/index.php For more journals in Juniper Publishers Please click on https://juniperpublishers.com/index.php

Impact of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy on Cardiac Electric Remodeling and its Clinical and Echocardiographic Correlation by Shaimaa A Mostafa in Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Therapy in Juniper Publishers Impact of cardiac resynchronization therapy on cardiac electric remodeling and its clinical and echocardiographic correlation. 50 patients candidate for CRT were included and assessed before and 3 months after implantation by history taking, clinical examination, transthoracic echocardiogram, ECG and six minutes walk test.

The Deleterious Effect of Atrial Fibrillation and Its Association with Mortality in Non-Responders to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy by Osmar Antonio Centurion in Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Therapy in Juniper Publishers The well known complexity of the mechanism for developing atrial fibrillation (AF) accounts for the failure and relative success of the different therapeutic maneuvers in the management of AF. Despite medical improvements made in recent years, patients with heart failure (HF) are at increased risk of developing AF [1-3]. AF is known to worsen the clinical course of HF through multiple mechanisms including rapid ventricular response, irregularity of ventricular rhythm, loss of organized atrial contribution to cardiac output, and in some cases, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. The prevalence of AF, in patients with HF, increases with the severity of the disease reaching up to 50% in advanced cases. In these patients with HF, AF is an independe...

Retrieval of a Broken Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Migrated in the Right Pulmonary Artery in a Young Girl: a Case Report by Wen Zhang in Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Therapy in Juniper Publishers We report a case of successful endovascular technique using a snare to retrieve a migrated, broken, peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in a 12-year-old girl treated with chemotherapy for lymphocytic leukemia. This patient received chemotherapy through a PICC line implanted into her left antecubital vein 9 months previously. Computed Tomography (CT) after admission showed migration of a broken PICC into the right pulmonary artery. The broken PICC was retrieved successfully through the right femoral vein using a snare. The endovascular technique is useful and should be considered initial procedure for retrieving migrated catheters. https://juniperpublishers.com/jocct/JOCCT.MS.ID.555555.php

Pilot Study on Prevalence of Rheumatic Heart Disease in Urban and Rural Angola by Echocardiography by Michelle Kwokc in Journal of Cardiology & Cardiovascular Therapy in Juniper Publishers Rheumatic heart disease is an important cause of death and disability in young people in sub-Saharan Africa. Prevalence of rheumatic heart disease has been studied in many African countries, but no such report for Angola. The objective of this pilot study is to address rheumatic heart disease prevalence in Angola. Echocardiography has been shown to be much more sensitive than clinical detection of rheumatic heart disease. Portable and handheld echo devices were used to screen for prevalence in urban and rural areas. Five sites with no previous rheumatic heart disease screening were chosen and classified according to levels of healthcare access (Table 1). At each site children between ages 4-20 who consented were screened. Two cardiologists performed onsite echo and diagnosed rheumatic hea...
