In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of cardiovascular diseases in China have kept rising, with no significant reduction in disease burden observed. Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) is an effective approach for treating coronary artery disease. Drug-eluting stents and drug-coated balloons are currently the most common PCI devices used in clinical practice.

Background: The number of models developed for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasing, but the performance of these models is unknown. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate, describe, and compare existing models and analyze the factors that can predict outcomes.
Methods: We adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 during the execution of this review.
Background: Reversible splenial lesion syndrome (RESLES) is a newly recognized syndrome. Its typical pathologic findings is a reversible progress correlated with transiently reduced diffusion lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum. The common clinical symptoms include mildly altered states consciousness, delirium, and seizure.

This review aimed to compare the short- and mid-term outcomes between BRS and drug-eluting stents (DES).
Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared BRS vs.
The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and potential mechanisms of Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for treating coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with anxiety or depression. A systematic literature search was performed. Screening studies, extracting data, and assessing article quality were carried out independently by two researchers.

The potential targets of these two medicinal herbs were searched from HERB database, and those associated with microvascular angina were screened out from GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM), Therapeutic Target Database(TTD), and HERB. Cytoscape was used to construct a protein-protein interaction(PPI) network of the common targets shared by the two herbs and microvascular angina based on the data of String platform.
