Background The long-term effects of myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination on cardiac function and symptoms remain unclear. Purpose To assess the long-term effects of myocarditis following ...
Objectives Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may be beneficial to patients following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and open surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). We aimed ...
Background The aim of the study was to estimate the sex-specific prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF) in the German population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall study. Methods We ...
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as an alternative treatment for aortic regurgitation (AR) in patients at high surgical risk. However, evidence comparing outcomes ...
Background Biochemical markers of inflammation, coagulation and myocardial stress have been associated with both prevalent and incident atrial fibrillation (AF), but little is known about the ...
Objective To clarify whether atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a comprehensive indicator reflecting both the protective and ...
