Early studies focused on the apparent inverse relationship between HDL-C levels and risk of coronary heart disease, but HDL's physiological mechanisms are far more complex than previously thought.
A new study examined the relationship between high lipoprotein(a) and C-reactive protein. To what extent is Lp(a)-related cardiovascular risk affected by levels of CRP?
Drug-coated balloons are now well-established for the treatment of in-stent restenosis. What other clinical indications might they be useful for in the future?
A new meta-analysis assesses a DAPT de-escalation strategy based on modulation of DAPT intensity by switching from potent P2Y12 receptor inhibitors to clopidogrel in patients with ACS.
Review the latest evidence on reperfusion treatment of acute ischemic stroke, with a focus on endovascular treatment using stent retrievers, aspiration catheters, thrombolytics, and carotid stenting.
This paper posits albuminuria as a cardiorenal risk factor. Should urinary albumin/creatinine ratio thresholds be lowered to enable earlier identification and management of chronic kidney disease?
Post-operative AF is common in patients undergoing a variety of cardiac and other surgical procedures. Review the pathogenesis, incidence, prevention, and treatment of POAF in this article.
A recent meta-analysis suggest that 1-3 months of dual anti-platelet therapy reduces bleeding in patients with high bleeding risk-PCI without increasing the risk of thrombotic events.
How might artificial intelligence improve clinical decision-making? Utilizing several case studies, this article demonstrates the potential clinical value of AI techniques in cardiovascular care.
Is a physiology-guided or an angiography-guided complete revascularization strategy a better choice in in acute coronary syndromes? Two recent studies come to different conclusions.
What does current evidence demonstrate regarding short- and long-term prognostic information offered by serial measurement of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin and its relationship to suspected ACS?
An obituary for Professor Domenico Pagano, a well-respected surgeon, researcher, and recent Secretary General of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Might coagulation factor XI be a safer, more effective target for DOACs? This review examines unmet needs of current DOACs and the pathophysiology behind the potential of factor XI inhibitors.
