Limited data exist describing the differences in the medical treatment of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF) from those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HF-REF)…
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an emerging technique for the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Little has been reported about the use of different devices and multiple catheter-based…
Previous studies have noted a correlation between the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and elevated brain natriuretic peptide hormone level, although the exact nature of this association is unclear. Understanding…
Advanced heart failure (HF) is associated with severe sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). In addition, most patients with HF are treated with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for primary prevention of sudden cardiac…
The incidence and prognostic implication of myocardial injury after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have not been consistently studied. We aimed to assess the incidence and extent of myocardial injury…
The long-term outcomes of patients with angiographically proved stent thrombosis (ST) are insufficiently known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presentation and in-hospital and long-term outcomes of…
Apical ballooning syndrome (ABS), migraine, and Raynaud phenomenon are characterized by female predominance, identifiable triggers, and, likely, vascular dysfunction. Estrogen deficiency, such as in menopause, is considered to be a…
Intravenous adenosine is considered the drug of choice to obtain maximum hyperemia in the measurement of the fractional flow reserve (FFR). However, comparative studies performed between intravenous and intracoronary administration have…
Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are at markedly increased risk of developing premature coronary artery disease. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the role of carotid ultrasonography…
Several concerns have emerged regarding the higher risk for stent thrombosis (ST) after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, especially in the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Few data have…
