Research studies in cardiovascular epidemiology assessing the relationship between a primary exposure and a health outcome must account for the presence of what are often called third variables, ...

BACKGROUND: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has a variable incidence, and the development of left ventricular dysfunction is preceded by elevations in cardiac troponin concentrations.

The PREVENT risk assessment tools can accommodate an updated and more comprehensive group of risk factors in the sex-based base models, including the addition of body mass index and estimated ...

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of whether dyspnea has a cardiac cause is essential. Guidelines from 2016 were reported to result in a ...

A cardiac catheterization takes ≈45 minutes to complete. After a coronary angiogram, depending on the severity and pattern of any blockages detected in the coronary arteries, 3 common treatment paths ...

Gene Ontology analysis from differentially expressed genes revealed expected changes in cell cycle, metabolism, and contractility. In addition, mRNA splicing was among the top enriched differentially ...

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in the development of atherogenesis. METTL4 (methyltransferase-like protein 4) mediates N6- methyldeoxyadenosine (6mA) of mammalian mitochondrial ...

BACKGROUND: Plasma NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) is commonly used to diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but its diagnostic performance in the ...

Left ventricular (LV) systolic function is a powerful prognosticator of clinical outcome following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 1, 2, 3 and patients who do not have in‐hospital LV ...

A total of 8 canines, with a weight of 35 to 40 kg and an age of 2.90±0.56 years, were randomized after the surgical procedure by the weight order into 2 observation groups: a 48-hour group (N=4) and ...

Aims: This study aimed to analyze two decades of consecutive mortality data to investigate the association between cancer and cancer with heart failure across the United States (US), discerning ...

Background: Participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is enhanced by proximity to CR facilities and communication between inpatient and outpatient settings but may become fragmented when patients ...
