Sedentary behavior and physical inactivity are among the leading modifiable risk factors worldwide for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. The promotion of physical activity and exercise ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in women, who have a notable increase in the risk for this disease after menopause and typically develop coronary heart disease several years ...

Results from multiple randomized clinical trials comparing outcomes after intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)– and optical coherence tomography (OCT)–guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with ...

European data support the use of low high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) measurements or a 0/1-hour (0/1-h) algorithm for myocardial infarction to exclude major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) among ...

The remainder of this review is in 3 sections. In the first, we discuss recent studies on the spatial organization of the structures responsible for calcium cycling. The second addresses the general ...

Although tortuosity of the internal carotid artery (ICA) can pose a significant challenge when performing mechanical thrombectomy, few studies have examined the impact of ICA tortuosity on mechanical ...

The implementation of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) models has introduced an additional tool for identifying molecular mechanisms of disease that complement animal models.
