Objective This study aims to compare aortic morphology between repaired coarctation patients and controls, and to identify aortic morphological risk factors for hypertension and cardiovascular events ...

Background Previous epidemiological studies demonstrated that premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular ...

Aim To systematically evaluate whether relationships between cardiac rehabilitation participation and clinical outcomes, return to work, or knowledge about cardiovascular disease vary across ...

Background Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, dementia and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objective To develop and validate a 10-year predictive model for cardiovascular and metabolic disease (CVMD) risk using comprehensive health examination data from nearly 37 701 individuals.Methods ...

Introduction Atrial fibrosis identified on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been proposed as a preprocedural imaging biomarker for patient selection for rhythm control interventions in ...

Background Left ventricular mass (LVM) is suggested to be a sensitive predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart failure. In recent years, genome-wide association studies have ...

Background Patients with single-ventricle physiology are often palliated with the Fontan operation, which may involve the creation of a fenestration. We aimed to evaluate differences in ...

Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular heart disease and the most common comorbidities of atrial fibrillation (AF), which is prevalent with age. Nonetheless, the prognosis of ...
