Specifically, pre-clinical models of migraine demonstrated that, a key role in its pathophysiology is played by the trigemino-vascular system activation, which typically induces a local neurogenic inflammation involving dural and pial vessels. This causes (i) a plasma protein extravasation due to an...
In broad terms, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy is myocardial injury leading to arrhythmia, ventricular dysfunction, and HF that is not directly associated with AMI.158Causes of NICM are complicated and varied including drug toxicity, genetic predisposition, infection, haemodynamic pathology, and immunologic ...
Symptoms depend on the arrhythmia but may include fatigue, dyspnoea, dizziness, and syncope; sudden death may occur. Palpitation is a term used to describe an unacceptable awareness of the beating heart by the patient. This may occur normally in circumstances such as emotion, exercise, or stress...
