Studies of the epidemiology of heart failure in the general population can inform assessments of disease burden, research, public health policy and health system care delivery. We performed a ...

Diabetes mellitus is highly prevalent in patients with coronary atherosclerosis. As a result of several factors, including a ...

Background Conflicting evidence surrounds the effect of dietary macronutrient intake (fat, carbohydrate and protein) on cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly in women. Methods Women (aged 50–55 ...

Objective Decreased kidney function increases cardiovascular risk and predicts poor survival. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) by creatinine may theoretically be less accurate in the ...

Findings Incident MACCE was reported in 4,082 (9.9%) individuals in the study population and 3,463(9.7%) individuals with valid ECG parameters over a median follow-up period of 12.5 years. We found ...

There is a paucity of studies looking at the natural history of valvular heart disease (VHD) in exercising individuals, and exercise recommendations are largely based on expert consensus. All ...

Objective Despite the widespread and increasing use of ambulatory electrocardiography (ECG), there is no consensus on reference ranges for ambulatory electrocardiogram parameters to guide ...

Objective This study aims to understand the current ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment process in Guangdong Province and explore patient-level and system-level barriers associated ...
