Plaque characteristics on coronary CT angiography associated with the positive findings of fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are useful in determining indications for revascularization of coronary artery disease (CAD). Although the discordance of FFR and iFR was n...

Low coenzyme Q10 levels in patients with acute cardiovascular disease are associated with long-term mortality
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) plays a potential role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease through improved cellular bioenergetics. Critical illness in the intensive care unit has been reported to b...

Adjustment of CT-fractional flow reserve based on fluid–structure interaction underestimation to minimize 1-year cardiac events
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the optimal cut-off value of CT-Fractional Flow Reserve (CT-FFR) using fluid–structure interaction and how to adjust the CT-FFR’s underestimation from a standpoint of m...

Clinical significance of transluminal attenuation gradient in 320-row area detector coronary CT angiography
The clinical significance of the transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) has not been established. We evaluated the incremental diagnostic value of TAG by 320-row area detector computed tomography (320-ADCT). ...

Low circulating coenzyme Q10 during acute phase is associated with inflammation, malnutrition, and in-hospital mortality in patients admitted to the coronary care unit
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has a potential role in the prevention and treatment of heart failure through improved cellular bioenergetics. In addition, it has antioxidant, free radical scavenging, and vasodilatory ef...

Myocardial triglyceride content in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy: comparison between hypertensive heart disease and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) enables the assessment of myocardial triglyceride (TG) content, which is reported to be associated with cardiac dysfunction and morphology accompanied by metabolic ...
