Comparison of dual therapies for hypertension treatment in India: a randomized clinical trial Open
Evidence is lacking for guiding optimal combination hypertension therapy in South Asian patients. Here we investigated the blood pressure (BP)-lowering efficacy and safety of three commonly recommended antihypertensive dual combinations in…
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement or surgical aortic valve replacement: Establishing a middle ground Open
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an established standard of care for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), irrespective of their surgical risk. However, despite the continuous advancements over last two dec…
Genetic and Gender Influences on Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Comprehensive Population-based Study of Clinical Outcomes and Implications Open
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, can lead to significant morbidity. Given the hereditary association, identifying population-specific genetic markers and gender disparities could …

Visceral adiposity index and cardiorespiratory fitness: Unmasking risk of impaired fasting glucose among adolescents Open
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing among adolescents, but paediatric risk predictors are relatively underdeveloped. This study aimed to establish the associations of visceral adiposity index (VAI) and cardiorespiratory fitness (…
Issues related to grooming among postmastectomy patients: An Indian perspective Open
BACKGROUND: The surgical management of breast cancer results in the alteration of breast volume and clothing style, including designs of dresses, brassiere wearing, and use of breast prosthesis among the patients. It is important to unders…
Known yet underdiagnosed: Invasive assessment of coronary microvascular disease and its implications Open
Coronary microvascular disease (CMD) is one of the commonest causes of cardiac chest pain. The condition is more prevalent in women, and incidence is known to increase with age, hypertension, and diabetes. The pathophysiological pathways a…
Optimizing dialysis modalities for diabetic end-stage kidney disease: A focus on personalized care and resource-limited settings Open
Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. While both haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) are commonly used treatment options for ESKD, the choice of dialysis mo…
Therapeutic Modulation of Gut Microbiome in Cardiovascular Disease: A Literature Review Open
The cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a primary global health concern with significant mortality and morbidity. Recent findings suggest that gut microbiota, through its complex interactions with host metabolism, immune response, and infla…
