Oct 5th, 2022 - Artificial intelligence (AI) has high diagnostic accuracy for coronary artery disease (CAD) from myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). However, when trained using high-risk populations (such as patients with correlating invasive testing), the diseas...

Oct 5th, 2022 - Preexisting cardiovascular disease (CVD) is perceived as a risk factor for poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. We sought to determine whether CVD is associated with in-hospital death and cardiovascular events in critically ill patients with C...

Oct 4th, 2022 - Studies on the susceptibility of vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms to coronary artery disease (CAD) reached controversial results. We performed this study for a more accurate evaluation between the VDR polymorphisms and CAD susceptibility. Pu...

Oct 4th, 2022 - Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) concomitant with coronary artery disease (CAD) may increase the risk of thromboembolism. Antithrombotic therapy for NVAF patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains contradictory and challe...

Oct 4th, 2022 - Stent implantation-induced neointima formation is a dominant culprit in coronary artery disease treatment failure after percutaneous coronary intervention. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent regulated cell death, has been associated with various cardi...

Sep 18th, 2022 - Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) was created to standardize reporting system for patients undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and to guide possible next steps in patient management. The goal of this updated 2022 C...

Aug 26th, 2022 - Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy for detecting coronary artery disease (CAD) and a key role in the management of patients with low-to-intermediate pretest likelihood of CAD. However, the clinical information pro...

Jul 22nd, 2022 - Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) was created to standardize reporting system for patients undergoing coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and to guide possible next steps in patient management. The goal of this updated 2022 C...

May 14th, 2022 - Management of patients with chronic chest pain in the setting of high probability of coronary artery disease (CAD) relies heavily on imaging for determining or excluding presence and severity of myocardial ischemia, hibernation, scarring, and/or t...

Dec 14th, 2021 - The guideline for coronary artery revascularization replaces the 2011 coronary artery bypass graft surgery and the 2011 and 2015 percutaneous coronary intervention guidelines, providing a patient-centric approach to guide clinicians in the treatme...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Over the past two decades, the number of subjects with cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and diabetes have been rising. Characterizing these disease states reveals...

Sep 29th, 2022 - The current proposal addresses the compelling problem of cardiometabolic disease risk and functional decline in persons with disability from spinal cord injuries and disease (SCI/D). 'Obesity/overweight' addressed in this project - a major compone...

Sep 29th, 2022 - The previous studies have reported the associations among cardiovascular disease, periodontitis, and gut microbiome dysbiosis. However, there is a lack of evidences about the axis of association from oral-gut-cardiovascular disease. The investigat...

Sep 29th, 2022 - The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of inclisiran compared to placebo on top of maximally tolerated statin therapy in reducing total coronary atheroma volume assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography from baseline to m...

Sep 29th, 2022 - This study is designed to investigate in blacks the relationship of risk for diabetes and heart disease from obesity plasma glucose and triglyceride concentrations and the triglyceride related risk factors of small dense low density lipoprotein (L...

Sep 30th, 2022 - Updated clinical guidelines for managing patients with ventricular arrhythmias and preventing sudden cardiac death were published in August 2022 by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), in the European Heart Journal.[1] In patients presenting ...

Sep 29th, 2022 - A retrospective study that analyzed sex disparities in patients with COVID-19 and rheumatoid arthritis found that men had more baseline comorbidities and increased risk of COVID-19–related outcomes, compared with females. “Differences in genetics ...

Sep 29th, 2022 - A growing number of Americans with cardiovascular disease (CVD) have limited or uncertain access to food, results of a new study suggest. An analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) representing more than...

Sep 23rd, 2022 - Editor's Note: The Case Challenge series includes difficult-to-diagnose conditions, some of which are not frequently encountered by most clinicians but are nonetheless important to accurately recognize. Test your diagnostic and treatment skills us...

Sep 23rd, 2022 - Despite a promising start, extended follow-up from the SUGAR trial found that the Cre8 EVO drug-eluting stent could not maintain superiority over the Resolute Onyx DES at 2 years in patients with diabetes undergoing revascularization for coronary ...
