5.0 T Coronary Magnetic Resonance Angiography in Calcified Coronary Arteries: Diagnostic Performance Compared With Computed Tomography Using Invasive Angiography as Reference

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) often overestimates stenosis in calcified plaques due to blooming artifacts. The performance of 5.0 T Coronary MR angiography (CMRA) in calcified arteries remains unclear. Purpose To assess plaque effects on 5.0 T CMRA image quality and compare diagnostic performance with CCTA.

Severity of periodontitis and risk of ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease with a systemic inflammatory burden and is implicated with vascular pathology. This systematic review and meta‐analysis evaluates the association between varying severities of periodontitis and ischemic stroke with various diagnostic criteria.

Hemodynamic Significance of APEXCT Coronary Angiography Combined With Dynamic CT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in Assessing Restenosis After Coronary Stenting

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the hemodynamic significance of in‐stent restenosis (ISR) by using a combined anatomical‐functional approach with photon‐counting CT coronary angiography (APEX‐CT CTA) and dynamic CT myocardial perfusion imaging (CT‐MPI). We prospectively enrolled 239 symptomatic patients at least 9 months after PCI.

Associations of the Baseline Level and Change in Triglyceride Glucose‐Body Roundness Index With Cardiovascular Diseases: Two Large Prospective Cohorts in Europe and Asia

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the association of baseline and changes of TyG‐BRI with incident CVD based on the UK Biobank and China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). A total of 418,510 and 7923 individuals from the UK Biobank and CHARLS were included in Analysis 1 (baseline TyG‐BRI with CVD risk).
