Angina pectoris can occur in up to 40% of patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). There is limited data assessing whether the type of stent implanted during revascularization can predict p...
The American Heart Association (AHA) recently defined a new concept of cardiovascular health-Life’s Essential 8 (LE8). We sought to examine whether LE8 score is associated with a risk of all-cause and cardiova...
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a prevalent form of ischemic heart disease, significantly contributing to heart disease-related deaths worldwide. This condition is primarily caused by myocardial ischemic-reperfu...
Cardiac catheterization is an invasive diagnostic and treatment tool for congenital heart disease (CHD) with potential complications.
Aortic arch disease is a major cause of acute dissections. Surgical replacement is the current curative treatment for aortic arch disease. While traditional aortic cannulation ensures lower body perfusion, axi...
This study aims to identify a morphological indicator of aortic dissection (AD) based on the geometrical characteristics of the thoracic aorta.
:The hypothesis of the study was the assumption that the serum levels of soluble ST2 (sST2) and growth differentiation factor (GDF-15) can be predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in long-term peri...
The ankle–brachial index (ABI) is the ratio of the ankle and brachial systolic blood pressures. In the clinical setting, low ABI (< 0.9) is an indicator of peripheral atherosclerosis, while high ABI (> 1.4) is...
Inflammation and immunity play important roles in the formation of coronary collateral circulation (CCC). The pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) is a novel marker for evaluating systemic inflammation and immu...
