Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality; however, there are limited randomized data evaluating the association between sex and clinical outcomes in patients with CS. Patients with CS...
Proteotoxicity from insufficient clearance of misfolded/damaged proteins exacerbates cardiac functional decline following a myocardial infarction (MI). Estrogen is known to play a crucial role in the survival rate of...
The healthy heart comprises immune cells, mainly macrophages of differing class and origin. While these myeloid cells remain an area of continuous investigation, we have come to appreciate that a subset of tissue residing...
Further research is needed to refine risk prediction models for adverse cardiovascular outcomes following stroke in contemporary clinical practice, such as incident atrial fibrillation (AF), recurrent stroke, and cognitive...
We examined whether baseline depression is associated with myocardial infarction (MI) within a 2-year period among middle-age and older adults in China and whether the association varies by sociodemographic characteristics....
While multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are available, their results may not be generalizable to older, unhealthier or less-adherent patients. Observational data can be used to predict outcomes and evaluate...
Although several epidemiologic studies have shown the association between gout and cardiovascular outcomes, specific risk factors for developing cardiovascular diseases in Asian patients with gout are undisclosed. Thus, the...
Liver diseases and cardiovascular diseases are closely associated. Noninvasive tests (NITs), such as the FIB-4 score, have been recommended by different guidelines to rule out advanced fibrosis and estimate the risk of...
For patients with oral anticoagulants (OAC) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), European guidelines have recently changed their recommendations to dual antithrombotic therapy (DAT; P2Y inhibitor and OAC) without...
Although several studies have investigated the long-term association of respirable particulate matter (PM ≤ 10 µm) with the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI), this association is inconclusive or even contradictory. This...
Streptokinase is an enzyme that can break down the blood clots in some cases of myocardial infarction (heart attack), pulmonary embolism, and arterial thromboembolism. Demand for streptokinase is higher globally than production...
The objective of this study was to assess the risk of arterial thrombosis in patients who harbor the allele burden ≥1% detected during workup for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). We conducted a large cross-sectional analysis...
