BACKGROUND: Acute myocardial infarction is the leading cause of non-communicable deaths worldwide. Its diagnosis is a highly complex task, for which modelling through automated methods has been attempted. A systematic review of the literature was per...

The aim of this study was to analyze the whole temporal profiles of the segmental deformation curves of the left ventricle (LV) and describe their interrelations to obtain more detailed information concerning global LV function in order to be able to...
BACKGROUND: Laboratory findings have suggested that systemic and vascular inflammation can impair the antiatherogenic function of high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). However, evidence from population studies is sparse.

OBJECTIVE: Traditionally, patient groups with a phenotype are selected through rule-based definitions whose creation and validation are time-consuming. Machine learning approaches to electronic phenotyping are limited by the paucity of labeled traini...
BACKGROUND: In preclinical testing, ventricular wall injection of hydrogels has been shown to be effective in modulating ventricular remodeling and preserving cardiac function. For some approaches, early-stage clinical trials are under way. The hydro...
Early expansion of infarcted zone after Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) has serious short and long-term consequences and contributes to increased mortality. Thus, identification of moderate and severe phases of AMI before leading to other catastrop...

The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical application of a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) test in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Serum levels of hs-cTnT and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were detected in 24...
BACKGROUND: Edoxaban is a specific anti-Xa inhibitor that, in comparison to warfarin, has been found to be noninferior for the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism (SSE) and to reduce bleeding significantly in patients with nonvalvular atrial fi...
Adequate hydration is recommended for acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). However, the optimal hydration regimen has not ...
