The Association of Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index and Ankle-Brachial Index in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease
Conclusion: In the presence of the above-the-knee artery chronic total occlusion, CAVI pseudonormalization was likely to be seen. The presence of CTO in the above-the-knee artery is one cause of pseudonormalized CAVI. In the range of ABI, in which stenotic lesions and obstructive lesions coexist, it may be possible to detect the existence of CTO by a combination of both ABI and CAVI.Pulse (Source: Pulse)

Cardiovascular Sequelae and Genetics of Familial Mediterranean Fever: A Literature Review
Conclusion: FMF and its associated cardiovascular diseases are interlinked to 2 main mechanisms: subclinical atherosclerosis and amyloid deposition, and colchicine is the primary treatment of patients with FMF which shows the regression of amyloid deposits and prevents cardiovascular sequelae.Pulse (Source: Pulse)

From Heartbreak to Heart Disease: A Narrative Review on Depression as an Adjunct to Cardiovascular Disease
Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) commonly have subclinical depression and are often delayed in their diagnosis. Literature suggests an increased association of depression and adverse cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction and heart failure. Prevalence of depression in developed countries is approximately 16.6%, and it confers higher cardiovascular mortality even after attrition bias and confounding factors are eliminated. Pharmacological and cognitive-behavioral therapy have been extensively studied, and are generally safe and effective in alleviating depressive symptoms in patients with CVD. However, t...

Application of a Diagnostic Methodology of Cardiac Systems Based on the Proportions of Entropy in Normal Patients and with Different Pathologies
Conclusion: Proportional entropy constitutes a diagnostic and predictive method of heart systems, and may be useful as a tool to objectively diagnose and perform the follow-up of normal and pathological cases.Pulse (Source: Pulse)

Circulating Serum Magnesium and the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in Men: A Long-Term Prospective Cohort Study
Conclusion: In a middle-aged Caucasian male population, serum-circulating magnesium was not associated with a future risk of VTE. Further studies in women, other age groups, and other populations are required to generalize these findings.Pulse (Source: Pulse)

Uric Acid-to-Albumin Ratio: A Novel Marker for the Extent of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients with Non-ST-Elevated Myocardial Infarction
Conclusion: As a novel inflammatory marker, UAR independently predicted better outcomes than CAR and might be used reliably in prediction of the extent of CAD in NSTEMI patients.Pulse (Source: Pulse)

Usefulness of Stress-Derived E/e ’ Ratio in Asymptomatic Hypertensive Patients
Conclusion: We have demonstrated significant associations between exercise-derived raised left ventricular pressure and coronary MVD in newly diagnosed untreated hypertensive patients. Herein, we supposed that exercise-derived E/e ’ could predict subclinical atherosclerosis and might be a risk parameter for newly diagnosed untreated hypertensive patients.Pulse (Source: Pulse)

Blood Pressure Variability and Atrial Fibrillation in Patients with Acute ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: The Relation with Left Atrial Electromechanical Delay – A 1-Year Follow-Up Study
Conclusions: Short-term BPV was associated with NOAF during the 1-year follow-up in patients with STEMI. In addition, BPV was correlated significantly with atrial EMD. Herein, BPV was predicted to be an early predictor of NOAF in patients with STEMI.Pulse (Source: Pulse)
