ABSTRACT Background RFR has shown good aggregate agreement with FFR, including in prior Asian cohorts using intracoronary nicorandil. Where RFR‐FFR disagreement is concentrated relative to the FFR 0.80 decision boundary, and how the two binary thresholds correspond, remain incompletely characterized. Methods In a prospective single‐center registry, 300

Real‐world evidence (RWE) derived from real‐world data (RWD) can complement randomized controlled trials (RCTs), yet the validity of RWD relative to RCT data remains insufficiently characterized. We obtained post hoc consent and linked individual participant data from the US‐based INVESTED trial (2016–2019) with Medicare fee‐for‐service claims (2012 ...

The extent of pharmacogenetic (PGx) drug dispensing among Dutch adults receiving medications for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is unknown. Using the University of Groningen IADB.nl pharmacy database, we performed a serial cross‐sectional study (2019–2023) to estimate the annual prevalence of PGx drug dispensing and annual rates of initiation.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...
