Aldosteronism is associated with more severe cerebral small vessel disease in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage
Primary aldosteronism is associated with various types of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular damage independently of hypertension. Although chronic hypertension and related cerebral arteriosclerosis are the ma...

Open AccessComparison between drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents in very small coronary artery interventions
The optimal management of very small vessel (reference diameter from 2.0 to 2.25 mm) in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) is controversial. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of drug-coated b...

Open AccessLeft ventricular remodeling and dysfunction in primary aldosteronism
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension and is associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. The elevated aldosterone in PA leads to left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunc...
