Background: Observational studies have suggested that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are associated with a lower risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation ...

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevalence is rising among younger women in the US. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are early indicators of cardiovascular risk, yet it remains ...

BACKGROUND: A 3-dimensional hyperboloid model has been proposed to characterize ventricular tachycardia (VT) circuitry. We ...

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes more than 50% of deaths in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Clinical studies suggest that kidney-derived factors contribute to CVD ...

BACKGROUND: Current guidelines recommend a stepwise strategy to achieve low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Earlier intensive strategies based on a ...
