Objective Prolonged length of stay (LOS) contributes substantially to the healthcare burden in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), yet ...
Background Racial and ethnic differences in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) exist, with black and Hispanic participants showing poorer health status. It remains unclear whether these differences affect ...
Objective To test the effectiveness of an impedance cardiography (ICG) guided treatment strategy on improving blood pressure (BP) control in real-world clinical practice. Design A single-centre, ...
Objective To investigate the diagnostic performance of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for assessing significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients referred for surgical aortic valve replacement ...
Introduction Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) reduce mortality and morbidity in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), but are largely underused. We evaluated ...
Because serum magnesium does not reflect intracellular magnesium, the latter making up more than 99% of total body magnesium, most cases of magnesium deficiency are undiagnosed. Furthermore, because ...
Objective In this randomised two-period crossover trial, the objective was to compare acute changes in arterial distensibility between high-intensity interval physical exercise (HIIPE) and ...
Background Numerous studies have highlighted the burden of hypertension by estimating its prevalence. However, information regarding quantum and characteristics of persons whose blood pressure ...
Background Hypertension is a risk factor for bleeding events and is included in the HAS-BLED (Hypertension, Abnormal renal/liver function, Stroke, Bleeding history or predisposition, Labile INR, ...
Background Serum potassium (sK) disorders are associated with worse outcomes in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This study introduced a novel metric, time in ...
Objective Arterial stiffness increases with age, and is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome including increased mortality. The effect of the oral small molecule SIRT1 activator, SRT2104, on ...
Background Despite limited beneficial evidence, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is commonly used in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). In this Dutch ...
