Blood cell-derived indices are potential predictors of clinical outcomes in coronary artery disease. This study assessed the prognostic value of the pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV) for predicting 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs)...
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects over 236 million people globally, with endovascular treatment as the predominant mode of revascularization. While pre-procedural lesion assessment typically relies on non-invasive Doppler measurement, invasiv...
Background: An acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a highly lethal condition that demands immediate medical intervention. Survivors often face significant long-term challenges. While immediate survival remains a critical focus in acute care settings, li...
Background: To date, little is known about correlations between liver dysfunction and circulatory and cardiac abnormalities (e.g.,: mitral valve, MV) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). This study aimed to assess a potential parallelism bet...
The diagnosis of chronic total occlusion (CTO), characterized by the complete obstruction of a coronary artery for at least three months, remains challenging and can be entirely asymptomatic. Since the indications for performing a recanalization proc...
AIM: Higher exercise blood pressure in adults correlates with many cardiometabolic markers. The aim of this study was to investigate the main determinants of longitudinal variations in exercise blood pressure in young athletes. METHODS: A longitudina...
Introduction: Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a syndrome characterized by unexpectedly fast and prolonged sinus rates at rest or with minimal physical activity. Epidemiologic characteristics are uncertain, but most patients are young and fem...
Percutaneous treatment of highly thrombotic coronary lesions is demanding, due to worse acute and long-term clinical outcomes. In this report, we describe a case series of six patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and high-thrombus...
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is characterized by structural abnormalities, arrhythmias, and a spectrum of genetic and clinical manifestations. Clinically, ARVC is structurally distinguished by right ventricular dilation due...
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a tool that allows for the analysis of otherwise unobservable blood flow patterns. In the context of medicine, CFD enables researchers to better understand acute and chronic pathophysiology as well as utilize mod...
