    Accuracy of The Clinical Diagnosis of Heart Failure Among General Practitioners in a Resource-Constrained Setting.
    (World Heart Federation, 2018) OGUNMODEDE, James Ayodele; Kolo, P.M.; Katibi, I.A.; Adekeye, K.A.; Bojuwoye, M.O.; Omotoso, A.B.; Aderibigbe, A
    Accurate and early diagnosis of Heart failure (HF) is imperative for effective treatment to reduce mortality especially in a resource constrained setting. Very frequently , the first diagnosis and indeed subsequent management of HF is done by general practitioners The objective was to determine the accuracy of the clinical skill of GPS practising in Nigeria in making a correct diagnosis of HF using echocardiography as the gold standard

    The Impact of HIV/AIDS on The Cardiovascular System - A Review of Current Trends.
    (College of Health Sciences, University of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2017) Ogunmodede, James Ayodele; Kolo, P.M.; Katibi, I.A.; Omotoso, A.B.O; Adekeye, K.A.
    he Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is undoubtedly one of the most significant pandemics the world has known with its effect spanning over three decades now. Initial emphasis in the management of the condition was on opportunistic infections, but the introduction of Highly Active Anti Retroviral Therapy (HAART) has led to longer survival times for HIV patients and converted the infection to a chronic manageable illness like systemic hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Hence, unlike the situation at the emergence of the pandemic, patients now live long enough to develop organ-related complications and it is believed that managing these will soon dominate the care of patients. We review the literature on current knowledge and trends in the involvement of the heart in HIV infection.

    Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: A rare but fatal condition.
    (Nigerian Cardiac Society, 2017) Ogunmodede, James Ayodele; Kolo, P.M.; Adeoye, P.O.; Adekeye, K.A.
    Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm (PA) is rarely seen and it is the result of free-wall myocardial rupture contained by overlying adherent pericardium, fibrous tissue without myocardial tissue. When it occurs, it is usually associated with myocardial infarction and is potentially prone to complications such as thromboembolic phenomenon and rupture with resultant cardiac tamponade. LV pseudoaneurysm is potentially fatal, and early detection with prompt treatment is important to prevent mortality. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate LV pseudoaneurysm from true aneurysm. It is, therefore, very important to use a combination of imaging modalities to evaluate the affected patients to confirm the diagnosis. We report the case of a fatal LV PA in a middle-aged man who had no history suggestive of prior myocardial infarction, diagnosed on two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan.
