Objectives : We sought to develop a simple risk score for predicting mortality after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Background : …
Restenosis within tubular slotted stents is secondary to intimal hyperplasia and is usually treated with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Sequential intravascular …
Background Obicetrapib is a highly selective cholesteryl ester transfer protein inhibitor that reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. The efficacy and safety of …
Numerous definitions have been proposed for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization. The universal definition for MI designates post procedural …
Background— The safety and efficacy of drug-eluting stents (DES) among more generalized “real-world” patients than those enrolled in pivotal randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are …
Propensity scores (PS) are an increasingly popular method to adjust for confounding in observational studies. Propensity score methods have theoretical advantages over conventional …
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is one of the most prevalent valve disorders and has numerous etiologies, including primary (organic) MR, due to underlying degenerative/structural mitral …
Background Obesity affects 32% of adults in the USA. Surgery generates substantial weight loss, but 20–30% fails to achieve successful weight loss. Our objective was to identify …
