As the cardiovascular system ages, it becomes more vulnerable to the effects of oxidative stress and inflammation. The aging process, along with external factors such as radiation exposure a...
P2Y12 receptors on platelets have long been the main target of antiplatelet drugs. However, a growing number of studies have revealed that P2Y12 receptor activation on microglia and vascular...
MicroRNA plays an integral role in the development of atherosclerosis. Our study aimed to investigate the roles of miR-599 in LPS-induced endothelial damage in human umbilical vein endotheli...
Although the standard mode of classification and reporting of cancer—Tumor, Node, Metastases (TNM) classification—is efficient in categorizing cancer, it has limited prognostic capabilit...
Evidence suggests that the complex nature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) makes it difficult for clinicians to diagnose the autoimmune disease. With two SLE classification criteria c...
Guidelines recommend that healthcare providers (HCPs) assess and teach inhaler technique during all encounters with patients who have obstructive lung diseases like asthma or COPD, but rec...
Hypertension is a well-established heart failure (HF) risk factor, especially in the context of adverse left ventricular (LV) remodelling. We aimed to use myocardial flow reserve (MFR) and g...
Free floating thrombus (FFT) is a rare condition. The optimal treatment strategy is yet to be determined although medical management with anticoagulation is the mainstay. This article repor...
Currently there is lack of data regarding the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to depict the hemodynamic relevance of coronary stenoses in diabetic patients. We sought to assess the...
Lithuania has one of the highest mortality rates from coronary heart disease (CHD) among European countries. Most CHD are preventable, but when they occur, the management of these patients i...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) patients had a higher risk of first-ever stroke than general population even when they were on antiplatelet treatment. It was unknown whether more potent antipl...
