Compressive Vascular Syndromes

This series of Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy examines a heterogeneous group of vascular syndromes characterized by extrinsic compression and stenosis affecting the extremities, abdominal viscera, and the cardiopulmonary system. A common thread among these disorders is that both diagnosis and therapeutic intent are driven by symptoms and secondary signs, rather than degree of stenosis or occlusion. With this in mind, we aim to provide a framework for a comprehensive clinical assessment specific to each condition.

Heart Failure in the Young and Old: Insights into Various Therapies

This is a special series focused on various treatment strategies in heart failure. Chronic heart failure is presently the most prevalent heart pathology complex, primarily because of its increasing incidence with an ever-aging population. This could be attributed to successful treatment of acute heart failure by interventional, operative, or instrumental interventions, thus delaying death to a later time. Such aforementioned interventions do not solely apply to the adult population with heart failure but also to newborns, infants and children with congenital heart diseases, who, through interventions, can reach adolescence and/or even adulthood until the “still somewhat” abnormal circulation comes to its functional limits.  Read More>>
