Study Design and Rationale of a Randomized Trial Comparing Aspirin–Sarpogrelate Combination Therapy with Aspirin Monotherapy: Effects on Blood Viscosity and Microcirculation in Cardiovascular Patients Open
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are associated with increased blood viscosity, which contributes to vascular inflammation and impaired microcirculation. Blood viscosity plays a crucial role in disease prog…

Differences in risk factors associated with the initiation and progression of mitral annular calcification in asymptomatic individuals Open
Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is hypothesized to be a representation of atherosclerosis and is associated with adverse outcomes. However, the pathophysiology and risk factors associated with MAC development are not fully understood. U…

Relationship Between Aortic Valve and Mitral Annular Calcification With Coronary Artery Calcification in Asymptomatic Individuals: Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Analyses Open
We observed a close correlation between AVC, MAC, and CAC, which is in accord with their common atherosclerotic origin. However, the correlation between MAC and CAC progression but not with AVC suggests that other factors such as hemodynam…

A Comprehensive Review of Clinical Studies Applying Flow-Mediated Dilation Open
Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) is a noninvasive method to evaluate vascular endothelial function, which manifests the vascular inflammatory response, cell proliferation, and autoregulation. Since FMD is noninvasive and assesses commonly in t…

Higher serum phosphate within the normal range is associated with the development of calcified aortic valve disease Open
Background Despite the essential role of ectopic osteogenic calcium-phosphate metabolism in the development of calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), the implications of high serum phosphate levels in CAVD development are not fully understo…

Post-COVID-19 Vaccination Myocarditis: A Histopathologic Study on a Monocentric Series of Six Cases Open
Many reports on the development of myocarditis following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination (PCVM) have emerged. However, only a few case studies have investigated endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) results. This study describes the …

Treatment of heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction Open
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly prevalent, is associated with high morbidity, and has very few effective treatments.Current Concepts: HFpEF is a heterogeneous syndrome arising from the int…
