Open AccessImpact of stress hyperglycemia ratio on mortality in patients with critical acute myocardial infarction: insight from american MIMIC-IV and the chinese CIN-II study
Among patients with acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary intervention, stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is primarily associated with short-term unfavorable outcomes. However, the relationship betw...

Association of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and acute kidney disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography: a cohort study
Acute kidney disease (AKD) following coronary angiography (CAG) indicates a higher risk of chronic kidney disease and follow-up cardiovascular comorbidities. However, the predictive risk factor of AKD is not c...

Elevated systemic immune inflammation level increases the risk of total and cause-specific mortality among patients with chronic kidney disease: a large multi-center longitudinal study
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is inherently a complex immune-inflammatory condition, and heightened inflammation and immune dysfunction are closely related to an increased risk of death. However, evidence regar...

Open AccessAssociation between triglyceride glucose index and worsening heart failure in significant secondary mitral regurgitation following percutaneous coronary intervention
The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is an alternative to insulin resistance (IR) as an early indicator of worsening heart failure (HF). Patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (sMR) often experience prog...

Incidence and mortality of acute kidney disease following coronary angiography: a cohort study of 9223 patients
Acute kidney disease (AKD) is an important state in the evolving kidney diseases. However, there is limited data on the incidence and prognosis of AKD following coronary angiography (CAG). Therefore, we aim to...

Prevalence and mortality of transient acute kidney injury within 48 h, as new subtype, following coronary angiography: a cohort study
The association of transient acute kidney injury (AKI) with mortality was controversial. Our study aims to investigate the prevalence and impact of transient AKI on mortality in patients following coronary ang...

Malnutrition and the risk for contrast-induced acute kidney injury in patients with coronary artery disease
Malnutrition is a common comorbidity of coronary artery disease (CAD) and is often associated with adverse events. The malnutrition often means lower cholesterol, albumin and high lymphocyte, as risk factors o...

Open AccessPlatelet-to-hemoglobin ratio as a valuable predictor of long-term all-cause mortality in coronary artery disease patients with congestive heart failure
The platelet-to-hemoglobin ratio (PHR) has emerged as a prognostic biomarker in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients after PCI but not clear in CAD complicated with congestive heart failure (CHF). Hence, we ...
