Over the past 15 years, researchers have identified hundreds of regions in the human genome associated with heart attack risk. However, researchers lack efficient ways to explore how these genetic variants are molecularly connected to cardiovascular disease, limiting efforts to develop therapeutics. To streamline analysis of hundreds of genetic variants associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), a team of researchers combined multiple sequencing and experimental techniques to map the relatio

Background Efforts to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF) remain challenging, with suboptimal long-term outcomes. Methods All patients undergoing convergent PsAF ablation at our centre were retrospectively analysed.

Introduction There have been few studies on predictors of weaning failure from MV in patients with heart failure (HF). We sought to investigate the predictive value of B-lines measured by lung ultrasound (LUS) on the risk of weaning failure from mechanical ventilation (MV) and in-hospital outcomes. Methods This was a single-center, prospective observational study that included HF patients who were on invasive MV.

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with a high risk of stroke. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between hemodynamic parameters and left atrial thrombus/spontaneous echo contrast (LAT/SEC) in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients and establish a predictive nomogram that integrates hemodynamic parameters with clinical predictors to predict the risk of LAT/SEC.
