A clear dose–response relationship was observed, with progressively higher odds of multivessel CAD across increasing Lp(a) quartiles, underscoring the contribution of Lp(a) to residual atherosclerotic risk beyond traditional cardiometabolic factors.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a major mechanism of myocardial ischemia and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with angina or dyspnea, both in the absence and in the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease. Because the coronary microcirculation cannot be visualized directly with routine an...

BACKGROUND
Congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) requires pacing from early life, yet the long-term burden of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM), mortality, and device-related complications has not been quantitatively synthesized.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of PICM, mortality, and device-rela...

Background: Frailty complicates anticoagulation management in older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), particularly when long-term vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy is already established. Whether switching to a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) improves outcomes in this setting remains uncertain, and guideline re...
