BACKGROUND: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) occupy >8% of the human genome. Aberrant resurgence of ERVs has been implicated recently in several critical pathologies. However, the possible incidence and ...

Adults with newly diagnosed diabetes are at elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the extent to which optimizing modifiable lifestyle and clinical factors can mitigate this risk ...

The effect of different thresholds for packed red blood cell transfusion on neurologic outcomes in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and anemia is uncertain. This meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate ...

We aimed to investigate the effects of evolocumab, a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type‐9 inhibitor for intensive lipid‐lowering, on intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis. Among 179 ...

BACKGROUND: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) occupy >8% of the human genome. Aberrant resurgence of ERVs has been implicated recently in several critical pathologies. However, the possible incidence ...

Adverse left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) is an early marker of cardiac dysfunction that worsens with age and can lead to heart failure. It is unclear when this deterioration begins and ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia, with its incidence rising due to aging populations, obesity, and advancements in diagnostic modalities. The interplay ...

We aimed to determine the impact of body mass index (BMI) on outcomes in Japanese patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke using a Japanese obesity cutoff.

BACKGROUND: The performance of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) among patients with heart failure (HF) may be worse than in the general population due to a higher prevalence of confounding ...

Calcified nodules (CNs) remain a major challenge in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We sought to compare procedural and clinical outcomes after orbital atherectomy (OA) versus intravascular ...
