Associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and prealbumin with coronary vessels stenosis determined by coronary angiography and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction [PDF]
Background: To explore the associations of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and prealbumin (PAB) with the number of diseased coronary vessels, degree of stenosis and heart failure in patients with myocardial infarction (MI).

Usefulness of Proximal Coronary Wave Speed for Wave Intensity Analysis in Diseased Coronary Vessels [PDF]
Background: Wave speed is needed to separate net wave intensity into forward and backward traveling components. However, wave speed in diseased coronary arteries cannot be assessed from hemodynamic measurements obtained distal to a stenosis.

Management of patients with transcatheter implantable aortic valve
Valvular heart disease remains one of the causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular pathology requiring cardiac surgery.

Valvular and arterial function are tightly intertwined, both in terms of structural changes and hemodynamics. While proximal valvulo-vascular coupling contributes to the cardiovascular consequences of aortic stenosis, less is known on how peripheral ...

Layered Plaque in Organic Lesions in Patients With Coronary Artery Spasm
Background Coronary artery spasm plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of coronary plaques. We sought to investigate the plaque characteristics of co‐existing organic lesions in patients with coronary artery spasm in comparison to those without coronary

An Endothelial Contribution to Coronary Vessels [PDF]
Despite the profound impact of coronary artery disease on human health, the origins of the coronary blood vessels are poorly understood. Wu et al. use imaging and genetic techniques to show that the endocardium contributes to the coronary vessels and that the coronary arteries and veins have multilineage origins.
