A Remotely Delivered Exercise-Based Rehabilitation Program for Patients with Persistent Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (EX-CIPN): A Phase I Feasibility Trial

Background: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) affects two-thirds of patients who receive neurotoxic chemotherapy. In almost half of these patients, CIPN is persistent, with limited treatment options. Exercise-based rehabilitation shows promising results in improvi...

Lipid Burden and Efficacy of Preventive PCI of Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Coronary Plaques: Post Hoc Analysis From the PREVENT Trial

BACKGROUND: Preventive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of non–flow-limiting lesions (fractional flow reserve >0.80) that are high-risk plaques has emerged as a potential strategy to reduce cardiac events. However, identifying which lesions derive the greatest benefit fro...

Contrasting Prognostic Value of Discordance Between Resting Distal-to-Aortic Coronary Pressure Ratio and Fractional Flow Reserve in Coronary Artery Disease

BACKGROUND: Discordance between nonhyperemic pressure ratios and fractional flow reserve (FFR), observed in up to 20% of cases, complicates clinical decision-making for coronary revascularization and warrants further investigation of its clinical implications. This study aimed to...

Shockable rhythm as an independent prognostic factor in patients with non-ST elevation undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a registry-based cohort study

BACKGROUND: Although the timing and indications for coronary angiography (CAG) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have been widely studied, the characteristics associated with favorable outcomes in patients with non-ST-elevation (non-STE) undergoing percutaneous coronary...
