In France, cervical spine trauma frequently results in systematic prehospital immobilisation with a cervical collar, despite a low incidence of clinically significant injuries. This practice may lead ...
Enhanced Anti-Atherogenic Effects of Epicatechin and Hydroxytyrosol in THP-1 Macrophages: An Integrated In Silico and In Vitro Study.
Atherosclerosis is caused by inflammatory processes that alter the permeability of arterial wall cells and leucocyte recruitment, leading to oxidation of low-density lipoproteins in the artery. The us...
Association of Serum Calprotectin and the C-Reactive Protein-Triglyceride-Glucose Index with SYNTAX Score in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Coronary Artery Disease.
Background and Objectives: Systemic inflammation is a key driver in the progression and complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Serum calprotectin and the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose ...
Whether digoxin withdrawal is safe in patients with heart failure (HF) optimized on contemporary guideline-recommended medical therapy remains unknown. This prespecified analysis of the DECISION trial...
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a progressive infiltrative cardiomyopathy associated with conduction disease and arrhythmias, although their true burden and relationship with disease phenotype remain inco...
RT-AFNet: A Hybrid ResNet-Transformer Architecture with Multi-Scale Fusion for Atrial Fibrillation Detection.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia associated with an elevated risk of severe complications, including stroke and heart failure. Due to its paroxysmal nature and the inherent c...
MASLD and Atherosclerosis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review.
Background/Objectives: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is highly prevalent among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and has been increasingly recognized as a potentia...
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome are interrelated conditions with shared pathophysiological features; however, the ge...
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) shares core genetic and immunological features with type 1 diabetes (T1D) but is frequently misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes (T2D). With few biomarkers for i...
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is an increasingly recognized inflammatory cardiomyopathy that can present with ventricular arrhythmias and progressive heart failure (HF). Despite advances in various imaging...
Primary care engagement in hidradenitis suppurativa: Influence of disease severity, cardiometabolic risk, and access barriers.
BACKGROUND: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is linked to cardiometabolic disease (CMD), and guidelines recommend annual primary care visits. This study examined predictors of primary care utilization am...
Dermatomyositis: Dermoscopic features and a short review.
BACKGROUND: Dermoscopy has demonstrated utility in several connective tissue diseases. However, in dermatomyositis, it has been poorly studied for both cutaneous and nailfold involvement. RESULTS: We ...
Dual antiplatelet therapy is an effective treatment method after coronary artery endarterectomy: a single-centre retrospective study.
AIM: It was aimed to investigate the patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting with coronary endarterectomy (CABG-CE) and postoperative dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in terms of acute ...
Assessment of the aortic root and ascending aorta in swine using CTA.
PURPOSE: Swine are widely recognised as an essential experimental platform for evaluating prosthetic heart valves and testing novel catheter-based deployment methods. Our study aimed to establish base...
Atrial linear lesion sets are commonly performed as adjunctive ablation to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia (AT). Long...
The prevalence and clinical correlates of extra-aortic vascular disease in Marfan syndrome remain incompletely defined, and current surveillance strategies primarily target the thoracic aorta.
