Abstract Background Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a rare neurological disorder typically associated with hypertension, cytotoxic agents, or supratherapeutic immunosuppressant levels. We report what appe...

Objective This study aimed to assess the performance of time to maximum concentration (Tmax) using computed tomography perfusion for predicting stroke recurrence in patients with symptomatic non-acute atherosclerotic mid...

Abstract Objective “One-stop” interventional therapy for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) traditionally relies on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance, which carries limitations including anesthe...

Background Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are more vulnerable to social disconnection compared with the general population; however, there are few relevant studies investigating this issue.Aims To inves...

Abstract Background Mortality rates remain high among individuals with type 2 diabetes. The rising cases of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) have negatively impacted society’s development, health and have impoverished individual...

Abstract Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are widely used for the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity, yet their long-term cardiovascular effects in high-risk populations continue to ...

Objetivo: Evaluar la utilidad de la angiotomografía computada (TC) espectral cardíaca en pacientes con ataque cerebrovascular isquémico (ACVi). Material y métodos: En el contexto de pandemia de COVID-19 incorporamos ...

El desarrollo y estandarización de biomodelos de isquemia cerebral para evaluar compuestos neuroprotectores es una necesidad imperante en numerosos grupos de investigación. La oclusión de la arteria cerebral media en ...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relation between exposure to glycaemia over time and the risk of macrovascular or microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING...

BACKGROUND: Warfarin reduces the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but increases the risk of hemorrhage and is difficult to use. Dabigatran is a new oral direct thrombin inhibitor. METHODS: In this noni...

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors improve the outcome among patients with left ventricular dysfunction, whether or not they have heart failure. We assessed the role of an angiotensin-converting-enzyme ...

BACKGROUND: The effects of empagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, in addition to standard care, on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular ri...

CONTEXT: Despite decades of accumulated observational evidence, the balance of risks and benefits for hormone use in healthy postmenopausal women remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the major health benefits and risk...

BACKGROUND: The use of warfarin reduces the rate of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but requires frequent monitoring and dose adjustment. Rivaroxaban, an oral factor Xa inhibitor, may provide more co...

BACKGROUND: Vitamin K antagonists are highly effective in preventing stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation but have several limitations. Apixaban is a novel oral direct factor Xa inhibitor that has been shown to re...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), principally ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke, are the leading cause of global mortality and a major contributor to disability. This paper reviews the magnitude of total CVD burden, ...
