FGF23 –Klotho Axis Dysregulation in Type 4 Cardiorenal Syndrome: Molecular Mechanisms, Paediatric Perspectives, and Emerging Therapeutic Targets

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) represents a bidirectional interplay between cardiac and renal dysfunction, but CRS cases involving paediatric patients represent only a minority of cases overall. CRS type‐4 (CRS4), a long‐term reno‐cardiac syndrome driven by chronic kidney disease (CKD), is not the most frequently reporte...

Timing of Catheter Ablation After Heart Failure Diagnosis for Atrial Fibrillation: A Propensity-Score-Matched Analysis.

BACKGROUND Catheter ablation improves outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). However, most of the evidence on the importance of ablation timing has been anchored to AF rather than HF onset, leaving the optimal interval between HF diagnosis and ablation incompletely defined. OBJECTI...

Clinical and procedural outcomes of IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided PCI in unprotected left main coronary disease: An updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

BACKGROUND The clinical benefit of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD) remains uncertain. We performed an updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing IVUS-guided versus angiogra...
