Oct 9th, 2021 - Despite significant improvements in reperfusion strategies, acute coronary syndromes all too often culminate in a myocardial infarction (MI). The consequent MI can, in turn, lead to remodeling of the left ventricle (LV), the development of LV dysf...

May 15th, 2020 - The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge to healthcare worldwide. The infection can be life threatening and require intensive care treatment. The transmission of the disease poses a risk to both patients an...

Feb 2nd, 2023 - In the STOPDAPT-2 ACS trial (NCT03462498), ischemic events (especially myocardial infarction) was significantly increased with 1-month DAPT followed by clopidogrel monotherapy, as compared to 12-month DAPT in patients with acute coronary syndrome ...

Feb 1st, 2023 - RATIONALE: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is known to improve cardiac performance and to reduce morbidity and mortality in reduced-ejection fraction heart failure (HFrEF) despite optimal medical therapy (OMT). Several studies have shown t...

Feb 1st, 2023 - Rationale: Two-thirds of intracoronary thrombi causing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) result from rupture of lipid-rich plaques (LRP). After treatment of the culprit lesion in ACS patients, additional LRPs are found in approximately 50% of patients...

Jan 13th, 2023 - Replacing dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel alone 1 month after percutaneous intervention (PCI) offers a lower risk of bleeding with comparable protection against cardiovascular events, according to two subgroup analyses of the Jap.

Dec 20th, 2022 - In the quest to catch myocarditis earlier during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy for cancer, researchers have found a potential role for routinely measured biomarkers. Of 2,606 consecutive ICI recipients at Michigan Medicine, the 1% who ...

Nov 22nd, 2022 - FDA sent warnings to seven companies selling dietary supplements with unlawful claims of treating or preventing cardiovascular disease. A study from Taiwan showed that there was an increased risk of interstitial lung disease in people using oral a...

Nov 6th, 2022 - Routine early, expeditious use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a common strategy in patients with severe cardiogenic shock, but a less aggressive initial approach may be just as effective, a randomized trial suggests. In the study...
