Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with poor outcome in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the data on predictive value of RR variability during atrial fibrillation (AF) are…
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is thought to be associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) events, perhaps secondary to increased inflammation. We sought to examine the…
The possibility of strut fractures after bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) treatment is a new problem associated with the use of this novel technology. There is little in vivo information regarding the effects…
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) are cardiovascular disease risk markers, although data in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) are limited. We hypothesized that elevated apoB…
Although recent studies showed the prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters especially microvascular obstruction (MO) after reperfused ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a study assessing their prognostic significance for…
A 256-slice coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an accurate method for detection and exclusion of obstructive coronary artery disease (OBS-CAD). However, accurate image interpretation requires expertise and may not…
Pericardial effusion (PE) is a common complication following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the frequency and prognostic relevance of PE complicating STEMI are unknown. Aim of this study was to…
The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis associated with bundle branch block (BBB) depending on location, time of appearance, and duration in patients with myocardial infarction (MI)….
Cardiovascular risk persists despite intensive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction using statins. High-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) is inversely associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) that is independent of LDL-C levels. C-reactive…
