COVID-19 can potentially lead to fatal cardiac events
Coronaviruses are defined as a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases.
How PM2.5 air pollution potentially induces cardiovascular disease
In Thailand, particularly in Bangkok and metropolitan region, a massive cloud of ultra-fine dust particles known as PM2.5 has recently returned. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the concentration of PM2.5 pollutants should not exceed the safe threshold of 10-25 µg/m³.
Healthy food for healthy heart
Excessive cholesterol can develop fatty deposits in blood vessels, leading to serious health problems such as cardiovascular disease. A healthy diet and lifestyle changes are the best weapons to fight against cardiovascular disease. Making the simple steps for long-term benefits to the heart is highly recommended.
“Pneumothorax” a medical urgency that has to be treated
A pneumothorax (collapsed lung) occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air pushes on the outside of the lung and makes the lung collapse.
Knowing the warning signs and symptoms of congenital atrial septal defect (ASD)
The statistical data reveals that the average incidence rate of congenital heart defects reported in different studies is 1 up to 8 per 1,000 live births.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) can be effectively treated by transcatheter closure.
An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart (atria). The condition might present in newborns (congenital defects) and adults.
A minimally invasive procedure to treat aortic valve stenosis: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Apart from aortic valve regurgitation and rheumatic heart disease, degenerative valvular heart disease is one of the most common and most serious valve disease problems.
6 vegetables and fruits for your healthy heart
Some types of cholesterol are essential to perform important functions such as producing hormones and building cells.

DASH diet: Healthy eating to control blood pressure
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.
Radial artery approach for performing coronary catheter procedures in patient with coronary artery disease
“Coronary artery disease” is the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries which is mainly caused by atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis, known as hardening of the arteries, is the buildup of cholesterol and fatty deposits called “atherosclerotic plaques” on the inner walls of the arteries. The obstruction of coronary arteries decreases blood flow to the heart. Eventually, the reduced blood flow may cause angina (or chest pain) and shortness of breath. A complete blockage can result in a fatal heart attack.
