INTRODUCTION: Preventing ischemic strokes in patients with atrial cardiopathy is particularly challenging due to the elevated risks associated with the condition. While numerous studies have established the efficacy of anticoagulants in preventing stroke, their benefits for patients with atrial cardiopat...

INTRODUCTION: Early neurological deterioration (END) is an adverse outcome of acute ischemic stroke that affects up to one-third of patients and is linked to poorer functional outcomes. Tirofiban, a nonpeptide glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blocker, is widely used in the treatment of atherosclerotic hear...
BACKGROUND: Cryptogenic strokes, accounting for 40% of acute ischemic strokes, are linked to patent foramen ovale (PFO). Despite research efforts, uncertainties remain about optimal prevention strategies. OBJECTIVES: Therefore, we aimed to review RCTs and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) Studies comparing...

INTRODUCTION: Cancer therapy-induced cardiac dysfunction is a significant adverse effect of chemotherapeutic agents, particularly anthracyclines (ANT). High-potency statin therapy, such as atorvastatin, appears to exert a protective effect against this condition. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to perform a meta-ana...

BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation has emerged as an effective treatment option for atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population. However, limited data exist on the outcomes of catheter ablation in patients infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV+) with concomitant AF.
OBJECTIVES: This syste...

BACKGROUND: Some studies suggest a potential benefit of hybrid ablation for patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), but its efficacy and safety remain debated. OBJECTIVE: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of hybri...
BACKGROUND: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is a nonlacunar ischemic stroke with no clear cause, having a 4%-5% annual recurrence rate. The potential benefits of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) relative to aspirin in patients with ESUS remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to perform a syst...
BACKGROUND: Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody medication used as standard treatment for different types of cancers, one of them is glioblastoma, which is the most common primary brain tumor. PURPOSE: We aimed to assess bevacizumab and its effects on inducing hypertension in patients with glioblastoma....
BACKGROUND: The leadless pacemaker has emerged as a promising alternative for patients requiring artificial cardiac stimulation. Advanced atrioventricular block (AVB) is the primary indication for leadless pacemaker (LP) implantation in patients who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement (...

INTRODUCTION: Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic heart disease that predisposes individuals to malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and quinidine are primary treatments, recurrent BrS-triggered cardiac ventricular arrhy...
