Implantable loop recorder (ILR) is recommended to detect subclinical atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryptogenic stroke; however, the clinical outcomes of this practice is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and…
Evidence on the efficacy and safety of low-dose direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) in older patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is still scarce. We conducted a single-center prospective registry of patients…
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) can potentially interact with multiple prescription medications. We examined the prevalence of co-prescription of DOACs with interacting medications and its impact on outcomes in patients with…
The clinical efficacy of the inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) as an upstream therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) prevention is controversial. No study has itemized so far the role…
Highlights • Sustained weight loss significantly lowers incidence of cardiometabolic outcomes. • Sustained weight loss significantly delays onset of cardiometabolic outcomes. • Greater weight loss significantly delays onset of cardiometabolic…
We aimed to investigate a causal effect of functional sarcopenia status, including poor handgrip strength and slow walking pace, on cardiovascular diseases. This study was an observational cohort study including…
Transradial (TR) access for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves outcomes and reduces the risk of major bleeding compared with transfemoral (TF) access. However, data on gender-stratified outcomes based on vascular…
The relationship between restless legs syndrome (RLS) and cardiovascular disease remains enigmatic in the general population, and its prognostic value in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown. In…
Currently, both drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-eluting balloons are recommended in patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) of metallic stents. However, the clinical results of repeated interventions in patients with restenosis…
Saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) have high rates of in-stent restenosis (ISR). We compared the baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics of patients and lesions that did develop ISR with those who…
