Addressing disparities of care in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients without standard modifiable risk factors: insights from a nationwide cohort study. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 1084-1092. https://doi.org/10.1093/eurjpc/zwab200

Background: The importance of standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs) in preventing non-ST segment myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is established. However, NSTEMI may present in the absence of SMuRFs, and little is known about their o...

Background Aortic stenosis requires timely treatment with either surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This study aimed to investigate the indirect impact of COVID-19 on national SAVR and TAVR acti...
