Effects of residual inflammatory and cholesterol risks on cardiovascular events with evolocumab in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Atherosclerosis 8 min.
This investigation identified a significant association between elevated baseline NLR and increased cardiovascular risk in ACS patients undergoing PCI. Furthermore, residual inflammatory risk, as indicated by the 1-month NLR, maintained its predictive capacity even among patients with exceptionally low...
Safety and efficacy of post-procedure anticoagulation in ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Atherosclerosis 3 min.
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is complicated in nearly 5% of patients with ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is the leading cause of in-hospital mortality in these patients [1, 2]. Treatment is limited to immediate revascularization, especially primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI),...

It has become a public health problem affecting individuals of all age groups worldwide and has been considered a global epidemic. According to 2022 data, 2.5 billion adults...
Impact of coronary artery calcium on progression of diastolic dysfunction: a cohort study
Atherosclerosis 5 min.
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) is associated with subclinical risk factors including advanced age, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation [1, 2, 3–4], and cardiovascular mortality and major adverse cardiac events [5, 6–7]. These results emphasize the importance...
