Artificial intelligence-enhanced management system for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease: a randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND: Secondary prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) remains suboptimal due to fragmented care and therapeutic inertia. While digital health interventions offer a promising strategy, few e...

Genetic Variants in HSP70 Family and BAG Co-Chaperone Genes: Associations with Coronary Artery Disease Risk and Potential Regulatory Effects.

Heat shock proteins of the HSP70 family and their BAG co-chaperones regulate responses to oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and ischemia, all central to coronary artery disease (CAD) pathogen...

Influencing Factors and Prediction Model Construction of Anxiety and Depression in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease Undergoing In-Stent Restenosis.

BACKGROUND: In-stent Restenosis (ISR) represents a major challenge in interventional cardiology, and psychological distress is known to worsen coronary heart disease outcomes. However, the prevalence ...

Association Between Baseline Soluble ST2 Levels and Long-Term Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background and Objectives: Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) is a biomarker associated with myocardial stress, inflammation, and fibrosis. Although elevated sST2 levels have demonstrated ...

Association of PON1 Haplotypes (Q192R and L55M) with the Severity of Coronary Atherosclerosis.

Enzyme paraoxonase 1 (PON1) plays a protective role against atherosclerosis by preventing the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Polymorphisms in the PON1, particularly Q192R and L55M, have ...

Non-HDL-C to HDL-C ratio and risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Results from NHANES 2005 to 2018.

Dyslipidemia is a major contributor to adverse outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density ...

Effect of dual antiplatelet therapy on prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: The diverse pathogenic mechanisms of myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) result in therapeutic difficulties. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to...

[Switch from STEMI to OMI].

Following up on a previous article written by Lindow et al, this article aims to further discuss a switch from STEMI to Occlusion Myocardial Infarction (OMI). The article explains how OMI can be diagn...

Comparison of Staged and Concomitant Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

AIM: This study aims to compare the clinical outcomes of concomitant versus staged percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with severe aortic valve disease and significant coronary artery...

Integrative multi-omics analysis of metabolite-protein interaction networks across different stages of coronary heart disease.

To elucidate the molecular characteristics of synergistic interactions across the clinical stages of coronary heart disease (CHD)-specifically stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (U...

Complete versus incomplete coronary revascularisation in patients undergoing PCI after TAVI.

BACKGROUND: The optimal revascularisation strategy for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains undefined. In particula...

Impact for Treatment Decision-Making and Clinical Outcome of Angiography-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve.

BACKGROUND: Pressure wire-based fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the reference standard for physiologic lesion assessment but remains underutilized owing to the need for hyperemia, procedural complexi...

Photon-counting CT iodine maps for late iodine enhancement: a retrospective feasibility study of image quality and reader confidence.

OBJECTIVE: Myocardial scar assessment is clinically relevant in advanced coronary artery disease, but late iodine enhancement (LIE) CT remains limited by image contrast and validation requirements. Th...
