Background: The role of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) in the risk-assessment of patients with de-novo stable chest pain is sparsely investigated. We assessed the association between Lp(a) concentration and the presence of coronary stenosis on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography in a broad population of patients referred with stable chest pain.
Methods: Lp(a) measurements and coronary CT angiography were performed in 4,346 patients with stable chest pain and no previous history of coronary artery disease.

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease, most but not all randomized trials have reported that complete revascularization (CR) offers advantages over culprit vessel-only revascularization. In addition, the optimal timing and assessment methods for CR remain undetermined.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the optimal revascularization strategy in patients with STEMI and multivessel disease, using a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: The therapeutic management of patients with multivessel disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction is complex and controversial.
Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical outcomes and the changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and at least one chronic total occlusion (CTO) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with hemodynamic support provided by Impella.
Methods: Retrospective, multicenter study enrolling patients with severe left ventricular dysfunction and severe coronary artery disease with at least one CTO who required percutaneous mechanical circulatory support with Impella, from January 2019 to December 2023.

The present study was aimed to investigate whether Gensini score or SYNTAX score was a valuable tool to predict in-stent restenosis (ISR) in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation. A retrospective case-control study and a validating retrospective cohort study were designed. All subjects' information was collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University.
