Coronary artery disease

  1. Gut microbiota changes linked to less atherosclerosis in mice
    Panax ginseng and Polygonum cuspidatum reduce atherosclerosis in mice by modulating gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles, offering mechanistic insights for cardiovascular disease.
  2. Non-pregnancy SCAD showed low but significant in-hospital mortality
    Analysis of 4,563 hospitalizations reveals significant sex and racial disparities in treatment patterns and mortality outcomes for non-pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
  3. Pregnancy-associated SCAD showed a higher-risk clinical pattern
    Registry study reveals pregnancy-associated spontaneous coronary artery dissection cases have distinct clinical profiles, lower fibromuscular dysplasia rates, and reduced cardiac recovery.
  4. CT angiography identified coronary artery anomalies and their patterns
    Retrospective CCTA analysis of 2,786 patients identifies coronary artery anomalies in 1.82%, with high RCA take-off predominating and gender-specific variations in malignant courses documented.
