Antiphospholipid syndrome is an autoimmune disease characterised by thrombotic and/or obstetric manifestations with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies. Diagnosis involves confirming the persistence of antiphospholipid antibodies in symptomatic patients, using validated classification criteria as a guide. The likelihood of obtaining false-positive or false-negative test results in certain settings, and the lack of standardisation between laboratory methods, are important considerations.

The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of DCB versus DES in DES in-stent restenosis depending on the vessel size.
Methods: Consecutive patients with DES in-stent restenosis who underwent PCI between January 2010 and February 2018 entered the registry with a long-term follow-up.
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is commonly observed in patients with aortic stenosis and comorbidities. Abnormal parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentration has been observed in heart failure.
Aims: We aimed to evaluate a potential association between increased concentration of PTH and AF in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide with coronary artery disease (CAD) being the first culprit in this group. In terms of CAD, not only its presence but also its severity plays a role in the patient's treatment and prognosis. CAD complexity can be assessed with the indicator named the SYNTAX score (SS).
