https://www.selleckchem.com/products/bozitinib.html We assessed the Right Ventricular (RV) systolic function using two dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) in Mitral valve disease before and after intervention. 90 patients divided into 3 groups of Mitral stenosis [MS], Mitral regurgitation [MR] and MS with MR were the study subjects. All the patients were subjected to conventional echocardiography and measurement of Right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS). Prior to intervention, subjects who demonstrated normal RV function by conventional methods, it was found that RVGLS was impaired significantly in the MS and MS with MR groups but normal in the MR group. After intervention, the RVGLS improved significantly in the MS group but not in the other groups. Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) had a significant negative correlation to RVGLS in all 3 groups.We studied awareness, treatment and control of hypertension and factors associated with hypertension prevalence in Barmer district, Rajasthan. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 adults aged ≥ 30 years. Data were collected using a modified World Health Organization STEPs tool. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were done to find the factors associated with hypertension prevalence. Hypertension and pre-hypertension prevalence were 22.0% and 50.7% respectively. A quarter (27%) was aware, 25% were on treatment and 9% achieved adequate control of hypertension. Hypertension prevalence was significantly higher among men, older adults, overweight adults and those reported higher income compared to their counterparts. Accurate estimation of fluid status is paramount in patients with heart failure. We hypothesized that bedside ultrasound assessment of the internal jugular vein (IJV) and subclavian vein (SCV) could reliably estimate right atrial pressure (RAP). Prospectively enrolled patients were positioned supine. IJV was imaged at the apex of the right sternocleidomastoid mu
