Commentary on Anti-thrombotic effect of protoparaxotriol saponins from Panax notoginseng using zebrafish model

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology

Thrombosis continues to pose a significant challenge in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, contributing to severe health complications such as myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke, and venous thromboembolism. In this paper, we comment the findings reported by Liu et al.

Lipoprotein(a) as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients in non-metropolitan area of Brandenburg, Germany

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Results Brandenburg patients with cardiovascular diseases showed higher Lp(a) levels than healthy controls (24.2% vs. 14.8%, p  = 0.001), and the high-Lp(a) group demonstrated a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, or cerebrovascular disease than the low-Lp(a) group ( p  = 0.004).

Risk factors analysis and prediction model establishment of acute kidney injury after heart valve replacement in patients with normal renal function

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Current smoker, hypertension, heart failure, previous myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, CysC, and NT-proBNP were selected as independent risk factors for AKI. The risk prediction model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).Results220

Propensity score analysis of red cell distribution width to serum calcium ratio in acute myocardial infarction as a predictor of in-hospital mortality

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Objective Red cell distribution width (RDW) and serum calcium (Ca) levels are predictors of in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. However, their sensitivity and specificity are limited. Results A total of 4,105 ICU-admitted AMI patients were analyzed.

Cost of Cardiovascular Disease Event and Cardiovascular Disease Treatment–Related Complication Hospitalizations in the United States

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Annual costs to the US health care system were estimated by multiplying the mean annual number of events by the mean total cost per discharge.RESULTS:The annual mean number of hospital discharges among CVD events was the highest for heart failure (1 087 000 per year) and cerebrovascular disease (800 600 per year).
