Objectives : We examined the relationship among biventricular hemodynamics, pulmonary
regurgitant fraction (PRF), right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) aneurysm or akinesia, and …

Background— Late morbidity and mortality remain problematic after repair of tetralogy of
Fallot (TOF). We hypothesized that fibrosis detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) …

Background— Ticagrelor and prasugrel provide stronger platelet inhibition compared with
clopidogrel. Direct pharmacodynamic comparison between them has not yet been reported in …

Objective: Subclavian vein catheterization may cause various complications. We compared
the real-time ultrasound-guided subclavian vein cannulation vs. the landmark method in …

Background The fear of contagion during the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
may have potentially refrained patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (…

Objectives : The study aimed to compare the antiplatelet action of ticagrelor with prasugrel
in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) …

Chronic heart failure is a state of immune activation, and endotoxin is a potential trigger for
cytokine production. Our aim was to study whether immune activation and endotoxemia occur …

AIMS: The purpose of this study was to compare the noninvasive assessment of severity of
pulmonary regurgitation with Doppler echocardiography versus cardiovascular magnetic …

Objectives This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the distal transradial
approach (dTRA) versus the conventional transradial approach (TRA) for coronary angiography …

Objectives : The primary aim of the study was to determine the antiplatelet effects of
prasugrel versus high-dose clopidogrel in patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) …
