One such question is how to weigh the benefit for one recipient versus a potentially greater good for the overall population following an alternative allocation. Such questions are very topical given that the United Network for Organ…
BACKGROUNDRepeat imaging when regional and remote patients with stroke arrive at a comprehensive stroke center can delay endovascular thrombectomy. We examined outcomes amongs patients transferred…
Malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, are the cause of approximately half a million deaths per year in the United…
Background: Deep analgosedation (DAS) or general anesthesia (GA) is mandatory for pulsed-field ablation (PFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). In contrast to DAS, GA (conventional or…
Background: The Myocardial Ischemia and Transfusion (MINT) Trial (N=3504) randomized patients with acute MI and a hemoglobin ≤ 10 g/dL to liberal (maintain Hgb ≥…
Occlusive and nonocclusive cervicocephalic thrombi can be encountered during neurovascular imaging in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Radiographic and morphological characteristics on basic and advanced…
Cindy St. Hilaire: Hi, welcome to Discover CircRes, the podcast of the American Heart Association’s Journal Circulation Research. I’m your host, Dr. Cindy St. Hilaire…
Background: Intramural site of origin is a major cause of ablation failure of ventricular arrhythmias and the optimal strategy is unclear. This study investigated the…
BackgroundWe investigated the sex‐specific variations in distal radial access (DRA)–associated outcomes, as well as the factors influencing these outcomes, by utilizing a comprehensive real‐world r…
BackgroundElevated sST2 (soluble serum stimulation‐2) has been associated with poor 90‐day outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We aimed to investigate the associations…
BACKGROUND: As a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, preeclampsia is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality later in life. Since early signs of myocardial affection…
