Comparison Between the In-Hospital Outcomes of Patients Presented With Acute Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction With and Without a Right Bundle Branch Block.

Background: Although a right bundle branch block (RBBB) complicates anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AW-STEMI), its independent prognostic significance remains understudied.

Material And Method: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore, over a period of 18 months from January 2022 to June 2023. A total of 349 patients presenting with acute AW-STEMI were enrolled.

Cognitive Decline and Psychological Distress in Chronic Cardiovascular Patients: The Interplay of Mental Health, Cognition, and Disease Severity.

Aim Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the global population and cause notable psychosocial and psychological repercussions, including psychological distress and cognitive impairment. This research examines the correlation between psychological distress, cognitive impairment, and disease severity in patients with chronic CVD. The study seeks to establish interrelations between these factors and functional activity, quality of life, and general health by comparing specific demographic and clinical variables.

Impact of Silymarin Supplementation on Liver Function and Enzyme Profiles in Diverse Chronic Liver Disease Etiologies.

Aim And Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of silymarin in improving liver function and reducing liver stiffness in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. Silymarin, a hepatoprotective agent, has shown potential benefits in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis, but evidence in CLD with varied etiologies remains limited. This study addresses the gap by assessing its impact across diverse etiological subgroups.
