Objective To clarify whether atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a comprehensive indicator reflecting both the protective and ...
Objective To test the effectiveness of an impedance cardiography (ICG) guided treatment strategy on improving blood pressure (BP) control in real-world clinical practice. Design A single-centre, ...
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a fivefold increased risk of stroke. Oral anticoagulation reduces the risk of stroke, but AF is elusive. A machine learning algorithm (Future ...
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an alternative treatment for aortic regurgitation (AR) in patients at high surgical risk. However, evidence comparing outcomes ...
Objective Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is the most devastating outcome in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We evaluated repolarisation features on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) to identify the ...
Background Revised haemodynamic criteria for pulmonary hypertension (PH)—mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) >20 mm Hg and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) >2 Wood Units (WU)—have defined new ...
