Discriminating established cardiovascular disease using a novel multiterritory ultrasound plaque burden measure (wTPT): findings from the P-SONAR study
Abstract Objective Ultrasound-imaging of subclinical atherosclerosis may refine cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment, but quantification methods vary and often include carotid arteries only. Because atherosclerosis is multiterritory, global (carotid–femoral) plaque quantification may better reflect…

Trends and disparities in aortic dissection mortality in the united states: a retrospective analysis
Abstract Background Aortic Dissection (AD) is a life-threatening condition and one of the major causes of death in the U.S. Despite its clinical significance, trends in AD related mortality remain understudied. We aim to analyze nationwide mortality trends in AD in the U.S. Methods Data from CDC…

QT interval prolongation and mortality in sepsis: a retrospective cohort study from the MIMIC-IV database
Abstract Background Sepsis is a leading cause of mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), and QT prolongation (QTP) is common in critically ill patients. However, the association between QTP and long-term mortality in sepsis remains unexamined. Methods This retrospective…

Prognostic value of the CRP–TyG index for in-hospital and 1-year mortality in patients with decompensated heart failure
Abstract Objective In heart failure (HF), inflammation and insulin resistance are known to be associated with mortality. C-reactive protein (CRP) reflects systemic inflammation, while the triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index reflects insulin resistance. The combination of these two variables, the…

Conduction disorders after combined surgical or transcatheter treatment for severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease
Abstract Background Conduction disturbances, including bundle branch and atrioventricular blocks, are frequent after aortic valve replacement and may require permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI). In patients with concomitant severe aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease, the fully…

Stress hyperglycemia ratio and mortality risk in cardiometabolic multimorbidity: a multicenter retrospective study
Abstract Aims This study aimed to investigate the association between the Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio (SHR) and mortality risk in critically ill patients with cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), and to explore the potential mediating roles of white blood cell count (WBC), albumin, and creatinine…

Study on the evaluation of left atrial structure and function in patients with H-type hypertension using 4D automated left atrial quantitative
Abstract Background This study employed four-dimensional automated left atrial quantitative analysis (4D Auto LAQ) technology to assess left atrial structure and function in patients with H-type hypertension and to investigate the impact of serum homocysteine (Hcy) level on the left atrium in…

Trends and disparities in amyloidosis and cardiovascular disease mortality: a population-based retrospective study in the United States (1999–2020)
Abstract Background Amyloidosis is increasingly recognized as a contributor to heart failure, particularly among older adults and patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Despite advances in diagnostic imaging and disease-modifying therapies, amyloidosis remains…

Association between autoimmune diseases and atrial fibrillation: a real-world analysis from German outpatient data
Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Chronic systemic inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor in AF pathogenesis. Autoimmune diseases (AIDs)…

Clinical characterization of individuals with obesity but normal blood pressure and heart function – a descriptive study from the SCAPIS cohort
Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) and arterial hypertension (AH) are strongly associated with obesity, with a linear relationship to increasing body mass index (BMI). However, some individuals with obesity do not exhibit signs of HF or AH. Purpose This study aimed to compare, for the first…

Assessment of the prevalence and associated risk factors of QT prolongation, with a focus on medication use, among patients with cardiovascular disease referred to Shahid Chamran Heart Hospital
Abstract Background Given the importance of LQTS and its association with potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmias, assessing its prevalence across diverse populations is crucial. This study aims to determine the prevalence of LQTS and its associated risk factors among patients with cardiovascular…

Transcatheter versus surgical aortic valve replacement in low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Background The optimal revascularization strategy for low-risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), transcatheter (TAVI) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), remains a subject of ongoing debate, particularly regarding long-term outcomes. We aimed to synthesize the…

Postoperative red cell distribution width to platelet ratio is related to cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury
Abstract Background This study aimed to investigate the predictive value of the red cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio (RPR) for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data from 252 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with…

Journal Article
Clinical relevance of the TAPSE/SPAP ratio in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a single-center retrospective study
Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening condition characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and progressive right ventricular dysfunction. The ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to systolic pulmonary artery pressure (TAPSE/SPAP) has…

Percutaneous closure of an ultra-long-tunnel-type patent foramen ovale: a rare case with multimodal imaging guidance
Abstract Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital cardiac anomaly, and ultra-long tunnel PFO (> 20 mm) presents a significant interventional challenge despite routine standard closure. A 68-year-old female with recurrent headaches, chest pain history, and prior right coronary artery…

Risk factors for small vessel disease in adults with atherosclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract Introduction Atherosclerosis is marked by irregular intimal plaques, known as atheroma, which intrude into the lumen of medium-sized and large arteries. Small vessel disease (SVD) is a major contributor to stroke and cognitive impairment and frequently coexists with atherosclerosis due to…

Unobserved individual-level variation in cardiovascular mortality in birth cohorts born before and after 1945
Abstract Aims Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has recently declined in many populations. It is not known if inequalities between individuals after accounting for risk factors have become more important. We investigated if the variation in risk due to unobserved factors – termed frailty - is…

Comparative analysis of Chinese large language model performance on atrial fibrillation questions
Abstract Background The first seven Chinese Large language models (LLMs) were launched to the public on August 31st,2023.However, the extent to which Chinese LLMs can assist atrial fibrillation༈AF༉patients remains unknown. We sought to assess the Chinese LLMs performance of providing responses to…

Association of triglyceride-glucose index with carotid atherosclerosis in the general population: a case-control study of 14,535 participants
Abstract Background Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaque serving as key markers of subclinical atherosclerosis. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate for insulin…
