One-Year Outcomes in PAD Patients With Elevated Lipoprotein(a): A Propensity-Matched Analysis

Jun 16, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on One-Year Outcomes in PAD Patients With Elevated Lipoprotein(a): A Propensity-Matched Analysis
Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a genetically determined, proatherogenic lipoprotein linked to increased cardiovascular risk. Although elevated Lp(a) levels have been implicated in peripheral artery disease (PAD) development, their prognostic significance in…

Comparison of Anatomical and Physiological Indices of Angiographically Intermediate Left Main Coronary Artery Stenoses

Jun 16, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Comparison of Anatomical and Physiological Indices of Angiographically Intermediate Left Main Coronary Artery Stenoses
Although physiologic evaluation (e.g., fractional flow reserve) of intermediate lesions is well established in other coronary arteries, the left main coronary artery (LMCA) exhibits diagnostic challenges, hindering development of physiology-based…

The Efficacy of Hemostatic Agents on Radial Artery Compression Methods Following Transradial Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Jun 16, 2026 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on The Efficacy of Hemostatic Agents on Radial Artery Compression Methods Following Transradial Procedures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Highlights • We found that hemostatic agents can reduce the time to achieve hemostasis. • This time reduction did not increase hematoma occurrence. • Manual compression with hemostatic agents may…
