Social Determinants of Health/Health Equity and Hypertension Prevalence Among Mississippi Adults.
More than one million adults in Mississippi have hypertension. We examined the association between a summary measure of social determinants of health (SDOH) and health equity (SDOH/HE) and hypertensio...
Detection of Vaccine-Derived Spike Protein Associated with Immune Cell Infiltration in the Heart and Liver: A Report of Two Cases.
The rapid development and deployment of COVID-19 genetic vaccines have raised significant concerns regarding their safety and potential to trigger immune reactions against self-tissues. This paper pro...
Efficacy and safety of Ongericimab in patients with hypercholesterolemia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: Hypercholesterolemia represents abnormally elevated cholesterol levels and constitutes a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Low-density lipoprotein cholestero...
The oblique vein of the left atrium: an overlooked vein in anatomical education with emerging clinical importance in atrial fibrillation ablation.
The oblique vein of the left atrium (Vein of Marshall) is frequently underemphasized in anatomical education and classical texts, often regarded as a minor or vestigial structure. However, contemporar...
Diagnostic evaluation of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries in a young patient: suspected coronary embolism from a calcified bicuspid aortic valve.
Coronary artery embolism is a relatively infrequent cause of myocardial infarction (MI). This case report presents a case of acute ST-segment elevation MI in the anterolateral wall consistent with sus...
Towards Neoatherosclerosis: A Porcine Model for Enhanced Device Testing.
The porcine in-stent stenosis model has been essential for developing drug-coated devices but does not replicate the hyperlipidemic, pro-atherogenic conditions driving neoatherosclerosis. We aimed to ...
Early-life determinants of cardiometabolic outcomes and accelerated biological ageing in Colombia.
BACKGROUND: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are critical early-life determinants of long-term health, yet their association with biological ageing and cardiometabolic risk remains poorly understo...
Identification of multi-omic pleiotropy factors for peripheral artery disease.
BACKGROUND: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is prevalent and frequently co-occurs with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD). Although shared genetic factors-pleiotropy-may contribut...
After acute coronary syndrome (ACS), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels have been associated with risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Whether t...
Redefining Primary Aldosteronism.
Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies are cellular immunotherapies that improve survival in patients with relapsed haematologic malignancies. However, their association with major adverse...
A size-adjustable cryoballoon (SACB, POLARxFIT), switching between 28-mm and 31-mm diameters, was introduced for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation; however, its efficacy and safety compared with conve...
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has reshaped atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation landscape, yet the relative advantages and limitations of currently available catheter ablation energy modalities-radiofreque...
Prevalence, Risk Factors, and Preventive Strategies of Hypertension Among Young Adults in the United Arab Emirates.
Background: Hypertension is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases. Objectives: This research assessed the magnitude of hypertension among young adults, identified its key determinants, and e...
Molecular Basis of Synergistic Causal Effect of Dual GLP-1R and GIPR Agonists for Risk Reduction in Diabetic Retinopathy, Alzheimer Disease, and Coronary Artery Disease in Diabetic Patients.
Background: The dual agonism of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) becomes a groundbreaking treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D) ...
Atrial Fibrillation in Infiltrative Cardiomyopathies: From Atrial Cardiomyopathy Imaging to Targeted Management-A Narrative Review.
Infiltrative cardiomyopathies comprise a heterogeneous spectrum of hereditary and acquired diseases characterised by the accumulation of pathological substrates within the myocardium, ultimately resul...
[Advances in the application of manganese dioxide nanomaterials in the treatment of glioblastoma].
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor of the central nervous system. Its treatment is greatly limited due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB),...
Targeting Autoimmune Myocarditis with Lemon Balm Extract: In Vivo Molecular Approach.
Due to the complex pathophysiology and serious outcomes of autoimmune myocarditis, we sought to determine whether ethanolic lemon balm extract (LBE) could attenuate disease progression and development...
Vascular Aging and Atherosclerosis: The Modulatory Impact of Selenium-A Comprehensive Review.
Selenium (Se), a vital trace element, plays a significant role in maintaining vascular health and may offer protective effects against atherosclerosis. Its actions are mediated through Se-dependent se...
