The Relationship Between Impulse Control, Emotional and Cognitive Regulation Mechanisms and Heart Rate Variability Open
Contrary to our hypothesis, HRV is found to be similar between BPD patients and healthy subjects. HRV was not associated with impulse control, affect regulation or cognitive functions.

Suppression of Recurrent Ventricular Fibrillation Associated with J-Wave Syndrome Using Cilostazol-Uncorrected Proof Open
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) survivors should be carefully evaluated for primary electrical diseases of the heart, including early repolarization syndrome (ERS). Early repolarization patterns in some patients may be hindered by depolarizatio…

Late Effects After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Among Childhood Transplant Survivors with Fanconi Anemia Open
A risk-defined multidisciplinary approach for the long-term follow-up of children with FA undergoing HSCT is essential for early detection and management of late effects.

Electrocardiographic and biochemical predictors of left ventricular remodeling early after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction Open
Aim: We aimed to assess low to mid-range left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) predictors at one-month follow-up in STEMI patients using baseline electrocardiography (ECG) and standard laboratory tests.Methods: In this retrospective cr…

An Uncommon Coronary Anomaly: A Single Right Coronary Artery With a Conus Branch Supplying the Left Anterior Descending Artery Open
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are usually asymptomatic and have a good prognosis. Single coronary artery anomaly (SCA) is a very rare CAA. Its true incidence is unknown. They are usually detected incidentally during coronary imaging and…
