Recent guidelines state that improving the survival rate of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) requires a protocol or algorithm for the emergency management of these patients. We aimed to ...
As a new obesity-related index, the weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) appears to be a good predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in East Asian populations. This study aimed to validate the association betw...
Diabetes is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to an elevated incidence of diastolic dysfunction in the early stages of CKD. Intracardiac vortex is a novel hemodynamic index for ...
Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) has been associated to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and heart failure (HF) severity. We aimed to investigate the clinical correlates and prognostic value of intact FGF2...
New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is a common adverse outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and is closely correlated with hospital stay and ...
Left ventricular free wall rupture, particularly the blowout type, is still one of the most lethal complications of myocardial infarction and can cause catastrophic cardiac tamponade. Extracorporeal membrane o...
While understanding the impact of mental health on health perception improves patient-centered care, this relationship is not well-established in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined the rel...
Few case reports have mentioned the aortic sinus aneurysm invading ventricular septum and dissection caused by Behcet’s disease. Here, we reported a 36-year-old male patient with an aortic sinus aneurysm invad...
