Walking a tightrope: the safety and efficacy of oral anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation patients with prior intracranial haemorrhage: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction: The optimal anticoagulation strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and prior intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) remains uncertain. Although direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have demonstrated a more favourable saf...

Genetic ancestry and risk of atrial fibrillation in individuals of Black ethnicity in the UK Biobank
Background: Black individuals have a lower incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) than White individuals, despite a higher burden of traditional risk factors. Prior studies have suggested that European genetic ancestry may contribute to t...

Factors associated with length of stay among patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: findings from the CCC-ACS project
Objective: Prolonged length of stay (LOS) contributes substantially to the healthcare burden in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), yet large-scale evidence from Chinese po...

Racial outcomes in patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy treated with an aldose reductase inhibitor: the ARISE-HF trial
Background: Racial and ethnic differences in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) exist, with black and Hispanic participants showing poorer health status. It remains unclear whether these differences affect the natural progression of the dise...

BMI-based prediction models for short-term and long-term mortality following coronary artery bypass grafting using the MIMIC-IV database: a retrospective cohort study
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the relationship between obesity (measured by Body Mass Index (BMI)) and postoperative mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to use machine learning algorithms ...

Validity, reliability and clinical utility of the Glittre ADL test in patients with atrial fibrillation
Background: Activities of daily living (ADL) are frequently impaired in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Although the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is widely used for functional assessment, it primarily evaluates walking endurance and...

Effect of pictorial-based information about atherosclerosis on adherence to lifestyle recommendations: results from the VIPVIZA randomised controlled trial
Aim: Low adherence to a healthy lifestyle constitutes a major barrier to effective prevention of cardiovascular disease. We aimed to investigate the effect of pictorial-based information about subclinical atherosclerosis on adherence to ...

Development and validation of a nomogram predicting all-cause mortality for patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator
Background: For patients with a high risk of sudden cardiac death, despite the benefits of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), some patients are still at high risk of death. Aim: The purpose of this study was to develop and ...

Pre-admission statins and circulatory collapse at hospital arrival in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Background: Circulatory collapse at hospital arrival represents one of the most severe clinical presentations of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and is associated with poor prognosis. Statins exert pleiotropic effects ...
