Introduction Inherited cardiac conditions, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), may ...
Background Low socioeconomic status (SES) is linked to increased cardiovascular risk, but its association with carotid atherosclerosis in the general population is less well studied. We examined ...
Objective Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings are central to treatment decisions in aortic stenosis (AS), particularly for borderline or high-risk patients. This study evaluates long-term, ...
Background Mechanical compression from the ascending aorta on the left atrial anterior wall (LAAW) can cause low voltage areas (LVAs), which are associated with a higher risk of atrial fibrillation ...
