AIMS - We sought to compare biodegradable-polymer biolimus-eluting stents(BP-BES) with durable-polymer everolimus-eluting(DP-EES) and zotarolimus-eluting stents(DP-ZES) in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS) according to different duration of dual antiplatelet therapy(DAPT). METHODS AND RESULTS - In the SMART-DATE trial, 2712 patients with ACS underwent randomization for allo...

OBJECTIVES - The association between extracellular volume (ECV) measured by computed tomography angiography (CTA) and clinical outcomes was evaluated in low-flow low-gradient (LFLG) aortic stenosis (AS) patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). BACKGROUND - Patients with LFLG AS comprise a high-risk group with respect to clinical outcomes. Although ECV...

IMPORTANCE - Human genetics and studies in experimental models support a key role of monocyte-chemoattractant protein–1 (MCP-1) in atherosclerosis. Yet, the associations of circulating MCP-1 levels with risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular death in the general population remain largely unexplored. OBJECTIVE - To explore whether circulating levels of MCP-1 are associated with risk of inciden...
