In severe aortic regurgitation, investigators assessed whether the Genereux cardiac damage staging classification predicts left ventricular reverse remodeling after surgical or transcatheter intervention. Using predefined echocardiographic endpoints and mul...

In cardiomyopathies, cardiac magnetic resonance T1 mapping and synthetic extracellular volume are influenced by age and sex, shifting normal ranges and the threshold for abnormality. Findings indicate clinicians should apply age- and sex-aware interpretatio...

Cardiology prescribing was examined by linking CMS Open Payments with NCDR PINNACLE to evaluate whether industry transfers to physicians correlate with use of PCSK9 inhibitors, ARNi, and DOACs. Receipt and magnitude of payments were associated with greater ...

In severe aortic regurgitation, applying the Genereux staging classification of extra-valvular cardiac damage predicted the likelihood and extent of left ventricular reverse remodeling after valve intervention. Higher stages were associated with attenuated ...

In cardiac magnetic resonance mapping, native T1 and synthetic extracellular volume appear sensitive to age and sex, indicating that demographic context influences quantitative interpretations. Across routine clinical parameters, signal behavior varied in w...

In ST-elevation myocardial infarction, selective C-reactive protein apheresis aims to blunt ischemia-reperfusion injury by rapidly lowering circulating CRP early after reperfusion. The CRP-STEMI randomized trial evaluates feasibility, safety, and effects on...

AIVUS-CAA targets automated intravascular ultrasound processing for coronary artery anomalies , combining segmentation and quantification to derive lumen, vessel, and plaque metrics. Benchmarked against expert annotations and reference measurements, the sof...

In coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention, an analysis of racial and ethnic variation in cardiovascular risks highlights heterogeneous profiles and outcome patterns that can shape secondary prevention . Differences in risk burden a...

In severe aortic regurgitation, a cardiac damage staging framework originally developed for aortic stenosis appears to stratify the chance of left ventricular reverse remodeling after intervention. By indexing extra-valvular involvement and cumulative myoca...

In myocardial infarction , pentameric C-reactive protein may amplify ischemia-reperfusion injury via complement activation and opsonization of damaged myocardium. The CRP-STEMI randomized trial tests selective apheresis to lower circulating CRP as an adjunc...
