Journal of Heart Lung and Circulation

About Journal of Heart Lung and Circulation

Journal of Heart Lung and Circulation is a newly started international peer reviewed journal dealing with cardiovascular science, cardiac surgery, clinical cardiology, pulmonary circulation, pneumonia and various lung diseases.

Journal of Heart Lung and Circulation aims to publish both clinical and medical materials on all aspects of Cardiac diseases, Pulmonary circulation and Medicine. We publish all types of write ups like Research articles, Review, Clinical and Medical Case Reports, Short Communications, Commentary, Images, Video articles, Technical Evaluations and Thesis etc.

Heart failure

Heart failure or congestive heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs.
Signs and symptoms commonly include shortness of breath, excessive tiredness, and leg swelling

Valvular heart disease

Refers to dysfunction of the valves in two forms-
either regurgitation, where a dysfunctional valve lets blood flow in the wrong direction
or stenosis, when a valve is narrow.

Pulmonary Circulation

It is the portion of the circulatory system which carries deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle of the heart, to the lungs, and returns oxygenated blood to the left atrium and ventricle of the heart.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

It is a disease in which a portion of the myocardium (heart muscle) is enlarged without any obvious cause, creating functional impairment of the heart.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

COPD is a type of obstructive lung disease characterized by long-term poor airflow.
Symptoms-shortness of breath and cough with sputum production.

Echocardiogram

Cardiac Echo or Echocardiogram is a Sonogram of Heart - uses standard two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Doppler ultrasound to create images of the heart.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)

CAD or Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is group of diseases which includes stable angina, sudden cardiac death, unstable angina and myocradial infraction.

Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiogram is a process of recording the activity of a heart for period of time by placing the electrodes on the skin, these electrodes detects the variations occurring in the heart muscles. This is performed commonly by cardiology test.

Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung, primarily affecting the alveoli.
Symptoms include some combination of productive or dry cough, chest pain, fever, and trouble breathing.

Heart Transplantation

Cardiac transplant, is a surgical transplant procedure performed on patients with end-stage heart failure or severe coronary artery disease when other medical or surgical treatments have failed.

Asthma

Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs.
It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm.

Pulmonary Fibrosis

It is a respiratory disease in which scars are formed in the lung tissues, leading to thickening of the walls and causes reduced oxygen supply in the blood.

Respiration

Respiration is defined as the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.

Cystic Fibrosis

Long-term issues include difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus as a result of frequent lung infections.
