Identification and reporting of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in Sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review of diagnostic approaches, echocardiographic assessment, and evidence gaps

Abstract Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly recognized as a major heart failure phenotype globally; however, its diagnosis is complex and is recommended to require integrated assessment of clin...

The Effects of N-acetylcysteine on Inflammatory Markers and Homocysteine: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Recently a number of trials investigated the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration on inflammatory markers and homocysteine (Hcy). However, their findings are controversial. The aim of this paper is to present a meta-a...
