Biomarkers of Inflammation and Fibrosis in Kawasaki Disease Patients Years After Initial Presentation With Low Ejection Fraction. [PDF]

, 2020
Background Coronary artery aneurysms and myocarditis are well-recognized complications of Kawasaki disease (KD) but no systematic evaluation of the consequences of myocarditis has been performed in the subset presenting with low ejection fraction (EF ...

Early Outcomes After Total Arch Replacement With Frozen Elephant Trunk in Elderly Patients With Acute Type A Aortic Dissection

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Across seven centers (2015–2023), we studied 1634 ATAAD patients undergoing TAR+FET and, after propensity matching (n = 699), compared elderly (≥ 60) versus non‐elderly (< 60) outcomes. Elderly patients had higher 30‐day mortality and complications (log‐rank p = 0.002), supporting individualized hybrid strategies, organ‐protective perioperative care ...

Rationale and design of the Clinical Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary heart disease 2 trial (CE-MARC 2): a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial of diagnostic strategies in suspected coronary heart disease [PDF]

, 2015
Background: A number of investigative strategies exist for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Despite the widespread availability of noninvasive imaging, invasive angiography is commonly used early in the diagnostic pathway.

The predictive value of Cardiodynamicsgram in myocardial perfusion abnormalities.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Myocardial perfusion abnormalities are the first sign of the ischemic cascade in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, the early detection of myocardial perfusion abnormalities is significant for the prevention of CAD. Recently, a novel

Mechanical chest-compression devices: current and future roles [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose of review: It is recognised that the quality of CPR is an important predictor of outcome from cardiac arrest yet studies consistently demonstrate that the quality of CPR performed in real life is frequently sub-optimal.

Drug‐coated balloons: From conventional designs to next‐generation innovations in vascular therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of drug‐coated balloons (DCBs) from conventional designs to next‐generation platforms. We highlight innovations in balloon engineering, coating technologies, and therapeutic agents that enhance localized drug delivery while addressing challenges in efficiency, safety, and biocompatibility for vascular and emerging non ...
