Background: Cardiovascular events are a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The risk of recurrence after a first cardiovascular event has been documented in the international literature, although not as extensively in a Mediterranean po...

Ischemic event in one arterial territory increases the risk of a subsequent ischemic event. Circulating microRNAs (miRs) emerge as a potential clinical tool to assess risk of subsequent atherothrombotic events such as cardiovascular death (CVD), myoc...

There is little known about the prognostic value of serum microRNAs (miRs) in diabetic patients with symptomatic internal carotid artery disease (ICAS) who underwent stent supported angioplasty (PTA) for ICAS. The present study aimed to investigate e...

Background: The benefit of beta-blockers (BBs) for myocardial infarction (MI) patients with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is uncertain. While beneficial for a reduced LVEF, their efficacy with a preserved LVEF, especially with...

Background/Aims: Conflicting results have been reported regarding the interaction between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and clopidogrel. We investigated whether concomitant PPI use influenced the risk of recurrence in patients with stroke and myocard...

Although lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels following acute myocardial infarction (MI) is the cornerstone of secondary prevention, the attainment of recommended LDL-C goals remains suboptimal in real-world practice. We sought...

We evaluated the 3-year clinical outcomes of early invasive (EI) and delayed invasive (DI) strategies in older and younger adults with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) undergoing successful new-generation drug-eluting stent (DE...

Background/Objectives: Self-recognition of recurrent myocardial infarction (re-MI) may be essential for reducing prehospital time contrast to awareness of re-MI symptoms. However, data on the current status and clinical impact of self-recognition of...

Background: Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as potential biomarkers of platelet reactivity and thrombotic risk. Among them, miR-223-3p regulates P2Y12 receptor expression and may influence response to antiplatelet therapy. This study aime...

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a syndrome with ambiguous pathophysiology. Impaired kidney function (KF) seems to impact the outcome of patients with TTS. We hypothesized that KF worsens the outcome among TTS patients and furthermore, TTS pat...

Background and Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate whether the benefits of sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on cardiovascular outcomes extend when initiated in patients with acute coronary syn...

Aim. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between microRNAs (miRNAs), miR-126-3p and miR-223-3p, as new biomarkers of platelet activation, and predicting recurrent thrombotic events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods and...

(1) Background: Little is known about how left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) affects functional and clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing thrombolysis; (2) Methods: A retrospective observational study conducte...

This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in levels of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) and its precursors and the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Patients diagnosed with AMI were prospectively enrolle...

Background. In vivo studies show that LL-37 inhibits the progression of atherosclerosis and predicts a lower risk of recurrent ischemia in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which could be mediated by the modulation of lipid metabolism....

(1) Background. One of the causes of myocardial infarction (MI) with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is thrombus formation in situ followed by lysis, resulting in a morphologically normal angiogram but with an underlying prothrombotic state...

Background: Residual coronary artery disease (CAD) has been associated with worsened prognosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The residual SYNTAX Score (rSS) aims to assess residual...
