Elevated lipoprotein(a) is independently associated with poor 3‐month outcomes in acute ischemic stroke. Combining Lp(a) with NIHSS improves prognostic accuracy. ABSTRACT Background Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a known cardiovascular risk factor, but its role in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) prognosis remains unclear. This study investigated the association

ABSTRACT We report a 54‐year‐old woman with stable angina who exhibited heterogeneous responses of tandem left anterior descending artery (LAD) plaques to intensive lipid‐lowering therapy. Coronary CT angiography performed at another hospital suggested diffuse disease, and she presented to our clinic for a second opinion.

ABSTRACT In dengue‐endemic regions, prolonged fever with mucocutaneous findings may represent classical Kawasaki disease (KD), dengue‐associated KD‐like inflammation, or true concomitant disease. When KD cannot be confidently excluded, timely IVIG administration may be justified to prevent coronary complications.

Elevated admission GDF‐15 levels are associated with increased mortality in acute heart failure. This meta‐analysis of 10 studies (N = 3724) found a pooled RR of 2.82 (95% CI: 2.39–3.32; p < 0.001; I² = 0%), supporting GDF‐15 as a promising biomarker for early risk stratification in AHF patients.
