Is It Time to Pay Attention to Right and Left Ventricular Apical Angles as Clinically Relevant Computed Tomography Measures in Acute Pulmonary Embolism?

Predictors of Clinically Driven Target Lesion Revascularization After Endovascular Treatment of Femoropopliteal Chronic Total Occlusions

Background: Clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) following endovascular recanalization of femoropopliteal chronic total occlusions (CTOs) remains a primary determinant of long-term procedural durability. This study aimed to identify clinical, anatomical, and procedural predictors associated with 1...

Impact of Thoracotomy-Based Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation on Right Ventricular Functional Preservation.

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction remains a critical determinant of outcomes following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. We used a doubly robust inverse probability weighting based on propensity scores to evaluate the association between surgical approach and clinical outcomes in 187 consecutive pati...

Association Between Eosinophil-to-Monocyte Ratio and ST-Segment Resolution in Young STEMI Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Lower admission EMR was associated with impaired myocardial reperfusion in young patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI, and EMR demonstrated acceptable discriminatory performance for incomplete ST-segment resolution.

Pregnancy-associated cardiac remodeling: from physiological adaptation to long-term cardiovascular risk.

INTRODUCTION Pregnancy imposes a sustained hemodynamic load that can unmask latent cardiovascular vulnerability, yet distinguishing physiological adaptation from early maladaptive remodeling remains difficult with conventional echocardiography. AREAS COVERED This special report reviews trimester-specific cardiac adap...

Fibrosis-4 Index as an Independent Predictor of 1-Year Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Among patients with STEMI, the FIB-4 index was independently associated with adverse outcomes, and may add value to early risk assessment, although its incremental benefit over established risk models warrants further study.

Prognostic value of the Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation for 12-month major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI

The Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI) is a novel composite biomarker reflecting overall inflammatory burden, however, its prognostic value in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains insufficiently explored.
