BACKGROUND Accurate luminal measurement is expected in FD-OCT because this technology offers high resolution and excellent contrast between lumen and vessel wall. METHODS In 5 medical centers, 100 patients with coronary artery disease were prospectively studied by using angiography, FD-OCT, and IVUS....
Small-vessel endothelial dysfunction and microthrombosis could explain the few cases with ischemic subendocardial LGE pattern, which is otherwise more likely associated with coronary artery disease26. The present findings require confirmation in future studies, including determination of the long-term or...

Impact of Renal Function in Patients with Multi-Vessel Coronary Disease (MVD) on Long Term Mortality Following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) Compared with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Background: Renal failure is an important predictor of mortality in patients with MVD who undergo...
The peripheral immune system is important in neurodegenerative diseases, both in protecting and inflaming the brain, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Alzheimer’s Disease is commonly preceded by a prodromal period. Here, we report the presen
Multivessel disease was present in 68% of patients, and mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 65 +/- 11%. Angioplasty was clinically successful in 196 patients (90%), 271 of 318 lesions (85%) were successfully dilated. There were no in-hospital deaths. Coronary artery bypass was ...
Cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share common risk factors such as dyslipidemia, obesity and inflammation. However, the role of pro-atherogenic environment and its associated low-grade inflammation in tumor progression remains underexplored. Here
