Compliance of Atrial Fibrillation Treatment with the Atrial Fibrillation Better Care (ABC) Pathway Improves the Clinical Outcomes in the Middle East Population: A Report from the Gulf Survey of Atrial Fibrillation Events (SAFE) Registry
(2020)
Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with substantially increased risk of cardiovascular events and overall mortality. The Atrial fibrillation Better Care (A—Avoid stroke, B—Better symptom management, ...
Effect of Common Medications on the Expression of SARS-CoV-2 Entry Receptors in Kidney Tissue
(2020)
Abstract: Besides the respiratory system, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was shown to affect other essential organs such as the kidneys. Early kidney involvement during the course ...
SARS-CoV-2 Whole Genome Amplification and Sequencing for Effective Population-Based Surveillance and Control of Viral Transmission
(2020)
BACKGROUND:
With the gradual reopening of economies and resumption of social life, robust surveillance mechanisms should be implemented to control the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike RT-qPCR, SARSCoV- 2 whole genome ...
Regulation of Angiotensin- Converting Enzyme 2 in Obesity: Implications for COVID-19
(2020)
Abstract:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Age, smoking, obesity, and chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes have been described as risk factors for severe ...
Multiple early introductions of SARS‑CoV‑2 into a global travel hub in the Middle East
(2020)
Abstract:
International travel played a significant role in the early global spread of SARS-CoV-2. Understanding transmission patterns from different regions of the world will further inform global dynamics of the pandemic. ...
One-year all-cause mortality risk among atrial fibrillation patients in Middle East with and without diabetes: The Gulf SAFE registry
(2020)
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a great risk of mortality, especially when associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate the rate and risk factors for mortality among AF patients ...
Clinical presentation and outcomes of peripartum cardiomyopathy in the Middle East: a cohort from seven Arab countries
(2020)
Aims:
Published data on the clinical presentation of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) are very limited particularly from the Middle East. The aim of this study was to examine the clinical presentation, management, and ...
Mortality and Morbidity in HFrEF, HFmrEF, and HFpEF Patients with Diabetes in the Middle East
(2020)
Objectives: We sought to estimate the mortality and morbidity in diabetic acute heart failure (AHF) patients stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction.
Methods: We analyzed the data of patients with AHF from ...
Saliva as an Alternative Specimen for Molecular COVID-19 Testing in Community Settings and Population-Based Screening
(2020)
Purpose:
With the easing of restriction measures, repeated community-based sampling for tracking new COVID-19 infections is anticipated for the next 6 to 12 months. A non-invasive, self-collected specimen like saliva ...
Geographical and temporal distribution of SARS-CoV-2 clades in the WHO European Region, January to June 2020
(2020)
Abstract:
We show the distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic clades over time and between countries and outline potential genomic surveillance objectives. We applied three ...
