Variability in ACT Response to Standard UFH Bolus During PCI: A Prospective Study on Determinants of Subtherapeutic Anticoagulation

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unfractionated heparin (UFH) remains the standard anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), with guidelines recommending a target activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥250 s. However, despite receiving a standardized bolus dose, many patients fail to achieve this target.

Use of nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist in chronic kidney disease: A case report of a patient with Fabry disease in his mid-20s

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a defect in glycosphingolipid metabolism, which leads to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in various cell types.

Why are mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists cardioprotective? [PDF]

open access: yesNaunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2006
Two clinical trials, the Randomized ALdosterone Evaluation Study (RALES) and the EPlerenone HEart failure and SUrvival Study (EPHESUS), have recently shown that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists reduce mortality in patients with heart failure on top of ACE inhibition.

Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) Inhibition and Cancer Risk: Insights from a Large Propensity‐Matched Cohort Study

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) lower LDL cholesterol and may influence cancer through immunomodulatory pathways. However, their effect on human cancer incidence remains unknown. We conducted a retrospective, propensity score‐matched study (Clalit Health Services, Israel, 2010–2023) comparing PCSK9 ...

Socio‐economic inequalities and heart failure morbidity and mortality: A systematic review and data synthesis

open access: yesESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 927-941, April 2025.
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
