Intravascular Imaging-Guided Versus Coronary Angiography-Guided Complex PCI: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. (2024)
Journal Article

Trials evaluating the role of intravascular imaging in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for complex coronary artery disease have yielded mixed results. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of intravascular imaging specifically intravascul...

The Evolving Field of Acute Coronary Syndrome Management: A Critical Appraisal of the 2023 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines for the Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (2024)
Journal Article

Acute coronary syndromes (ACS), encompassing conditions like ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS), represent a significant challenge in cardiovascular care due to their complex pathophysi...

Has the first year of the COVID pandemic impacted the trends in obesity-related CVD mortality between 1999 and 2019 in the United States? (2024)
Journal Article

Background During the covid-19 pandemic there was a marked rise in the number of cardiovascular deaths. Obesity is a well-known modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been identified as a factor...

Sex differences in trends and in-hospital outcomes of acute myocardial infarction in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia: insights from a large national database. (2024)
Journal Article

Sex differences in clinical outcomes following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are well known. However, data on sex differences among patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are limited. We aimed to explore sex differences in outcomes of A...

Efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and other weight loss drugs in overweight and obesity: a network meta-analysis. (2024)
Journal Article

This network meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide compared to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) and other weight loss drugs in the treatment of overweight and obesity. MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL... Read More about Efficacy and safety of tirzepatide, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and other weight loss drugs in overweight and obesity: a network meta-analysis..

Impact of the number of modifiable risk factors on clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention: An analysis from the e-Ultimaster registry. (2024)
Journal Article

A substantial proportion of the patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have none of the of standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs): hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia and smoking. The aim of this anal... Read More about Impact of the number of modifiable risk factors on clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention: An analysis from the e-Ultimaster registry..

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Wait-Time Management: Derivation and Validation of the Canadian TAVI Triage Tool (CAN3T). (2024)
Journal Article

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has seen indication expansion and thus exponential growth in demand over the past decade. In many jurisdictions, the growing demand has outpaced capacity, increasing wait times and preprocedural adverse...

A comparison of endothelial cell growth on commercial coronary stents with and without laser surface texturing. (2024)
Journal Article

Complete endothelialisation of coronary stents is an important determinant of future thrombotic complications following coronary stenting. Stent surface texture is an important factor that influences endothelial cell growth. With the emergence of sec...
