Clinical profile & long-term natural history of symptomatic coronary artery disease in young patients (<30 yr)

Cutting EF and multivessel involvement were found to be the strong correlates for long-term mortality in young patients below 30 yr of age with symptomatic coronary artery disease.

A review on application of biomarkers in heart failure

This review summarizes the attainments and challenges of using different types of biomarkers in HF and suggests the biomarker that has good clinical correlations may be useful in diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic management of HF.

A meta‐analysis and cost‐minimization analysis of bivalirudin versus heparin in high‐risk patients for percutaneous coronary intervention

Overall, the meta‐analysis showed that although bivalirudin appeared to have a lower risk of major bleeding rate, the overall effectiveness and safety between the two groups showed no significant difference in high‐risk patients for PCI, and the results of the cost‐minimization analysis showed that heparin could be a potential cost‐saving drug than bivalIRudin in patients for PCI in China.

The relation between gallstone disease and cardiovascular disease

A meta-analysis of cohort studies demonstrates a substantially increased risk of fatal and nonfatal CVD events among patients with a medical history of GD, and both male and female patients with GD have a risk of CVD, and women have a higher risk than men.
