Research studies in cardiovascular epidemiology assessing the relationship between a primary exposure and a health outcome must account for the presence of what are often called third variables, ...

Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) is characterized by sudden, severe cardiac inflammation causing hemodynamic instability or arrhythmia. 1 Currently, no approved medical therapy exists for AFM. Janus ...

The present study was a retrospective observational study based on a nationwide Japanese administrative case‐mix Diagnostic Procedure Combination (DPC) database, the Japanese Registry of All Cardiac ...

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of whether dyspnea has a cardiac cause is essential. Guidelines from 2016 were reported to result in a high incidence of indeterminate left ventricular (LV) filling pressure. We ...

BACKGROUND: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity has a variable incidence, and the development of left ventricular dysfunction is preceded by elevations in cardiac troponin concentrations.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is characterized by a low cardiac output state, which results in inadequate organ perfusion and tissue hypoxia. Despite recent advances in therapeutic strategies, the prognosis ...

Cardiac arrest is common and deadly, affecting up to 700 000 people in the United States annually. Advanced cardiac life support measures are commonly used to improve outcomes. This “2023 American ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the predominant cause of death globally, accounting for ≈30% of deaths each year. 1 The prevalence of CVD among adults (aged ≥20 years) in the United States was 48.6% ...

BACKGROUND: There is ambiguity whether frail patients with atrial fibrillation managed with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) should be switched to a non–vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC). METHODS: We ...

MESA is a population‐based, prospective cohort study funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. 28 Previous publications have provided extensive ...

BACKGROUND: The true incidence of visuospatial neglect, impaired attention toward contralesional space, remains unclear. Common variability sources are sensitivity differences of conventional ...

BACKGROUND: The thrombectomy-capable stroke center (TSC) is a recently introduced intermediate tier of accreditation for hospitals at which patients with acute ischemic stroke receive care. The ...
