Cerebrovascular events (CVEs) are a dreaded complication of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). They are associated with significant mortality, morbidity, and reduced quality of life and ...

Low-intensity focused ultrasound represents groundbreaking medical advancements, characterized by its noninvasive feature, safety, precision, and broad neuromodulatory capabilities. This technology ...

Endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke is one of the most efficacious and effective treatments in medicine, yet globally, its implementation remains limited. Patterns of EVT ...

Patients with acute ischemic stroke harboring a large vessel occlusion admitted to nonendovascular-capable centers often require interhospital transfer for thrombectomy. We evaluated the incidence and ...

This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS)‐related large‐vessel occlusion (ICAS‐LVO) and its mimics, focusing on the challenges in diagnosis and the need ...

BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) is a health metric that captures important factors associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. Previous studies ...

Metabolic disorder is noted for pacing‐induced cardiomyopathy. The benefits of His bundle pacing over right ventricular (RV) pacing in preventing pacing‐induced cardiomyopathy from a metabolic ...

BACKGROUND: Plaque composition and wall shear stress (WSS) magnitude act as well-established players in coronary plaque progression. However, WSS magnitude per se does not completely capture the ...
