Although rare, numerous case reports suggest that Thebesian veins confer increased morbidity and mortality. No study has evaluated their effects on cardiac structure or long-term patient outcomes. Patients undergoing coronary…
The 6-minute walk test distance (6MWD) has been shown to predict prognosis in selected cohorts of patients with heart failure and outcomes after surgical or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (AVI)…
Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are known to result in significant morbidity and mortality rates in patients with both ischemic and nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Although catheter ablation has emerged as an adjunct…
There are few data comparing the patient characteristics and outcomes of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced EF (HFrEF) in Asian cohorts. We aimed…
We aimed to assess if the outcome of primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) without cardiac resynchronization therapy is dependent on New York Heart Association (NYHA) class. Among the participants…
Angina pectoris (AP) is associated with worse outcomes in heart failure (HF). We investigated the association of AP with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), exercise capacity, and clinical outcomes and…
Super-response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is associated with significant left ventricular (LV) reverse remodeling and improved clinical outcome. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate whether LV reverse remodeling remains…
Until now, few studies have examined QT intervals in subjects who consume alcohol. We performed this study to evaluate the associations between alcohol consumption and the QTc interval based on…
This study reports the prevalence and prognostic impact of right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) in the admission electrocardiogram (ECG) of comatose survivors of out-of-hospital…
The prevalence of factors that are associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis (ST), including smoking, diabetes mellitus, and small stent size, is different in women and men who…
