Observational studies have described associations between multiple sclerosis (MS) and heart diseases, but the results were mixed.Medline, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL were searched up to 5 October 2020 according to a protocol...
To evaluate the prognostic value of left ventricular strains by cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) in patients with re-perfused myocardial infarction (MI).The study enrolled 58 patients with re-vascularized MI...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of excess premature mortality among patients with serious mental illness (SMI), mainly because of higher cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome compared to the general...
An echocardiography-derived calcium score (ECS) has been shown to predict CV mortality in the general population but has not been utilized in the dialysis population.We conducted a prospective cohort study including 125...
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MIR) injury is a major cause of adverse outcomes of revascularization after myocardial infarction. To identify the fundamental regulator of reperfusion injury, we performed metabolomics profiling...
p38 mitogen activated kinase (MAPK) mediates the response to pro-inflammatory cytokines following myocardial infarction (MI) and is inhibited by losmapimod.LATITUDE-TIMI 60 (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02145468) randomized patients...
This study aims to investigate whether statin use is associated with a reduction in CVD and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes without CVD.A propensity score-matched cohort analysis using retrospective data was created....
Heart failure (HF) remains a common complication for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), especially after acute myocardial infarction. Although left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is conventionally used to assess...
Onco-cardiology is the emerging field, and the concept of shared risk factor holds an important position in this field. The increasing prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in young adults is a critical epidemiological issue....
Ischemic heart diseases (IHDs), including myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathies, are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Cardiac-derived stem and progenitor cells have shown promise as a therapeutic for...
The devastating Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is associated with a high prothrombotic state. It is unclear if the coagulation abnormalities occur because of the direct effect of SARS-CoV-2 or indirectly by the cytokine...
