Triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), a surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR), could be a potential prognostic marker in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We evaluated the effect of the TyG index...
This study aims to assess the performance of various scoring systems in predicting the 28-day mortality of patients with aortic aneurysms (AA) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
The halo-shape technique (HST) is an emerging approach for implanting a leadless pacemaker in scoliosis patients in recent years. Severe scoliosis and humpback made it challenging to push the tip of the delive...
The optimal timing for the initiation of oral beta-blockers after acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear within the context of current primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice.
This study investigated the relationship of serum homocysteine (Hcy) and cystatin C (Cys C) levels with the prognosis of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
To identify risk factors correlated with atrioventricular block (AVB) in the general population.
The prognosis of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a validated surrogate marker for insulin resistance, in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)...
