ABSTRACT Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure (HF) frequently coexist, yet national mortality trends capturing both conditions together remain understudied. We examined U.S. mortality trends where CAD and HF coexisted from 1999 to 2024.

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Reducing radiation exposure to staff performing coronary angiography and intervention is an occupational health and safety priority for hospitals. We demonstrate that a larger lead acrylic shield, with lead rubber pleats on the lower edge will reduce radiation exposure to the cardiologist performing the procedure by approximately 40%. We recommend that

The current study used two large‐scale cohorts to investigate the association between FIB‐4 index and all‐cause and cardiac‐mortality risk. Elevated FIB‐4, both as categorical and continuous variable, was associated with increased risk of all‐cause and cardiac‐mortality. ABSTRACT Determining the link between fibrosis‐4 index (FIB‐4) score, which serves

White adipose tissue undergoes browning under endogenous and exogenous stimuli, primarily regulated by core molecules such as PRDM16 and UCP1. It exhibits a double‐edged sword effect in metabolic diseases and tumors: while mitigating metabolic disease impacts and suppressing early‐stage tumors through nutritional competition, it may accelerate cachexia
