The growing morbidity, mortality, and health care costs related to heart failure (HF) underscore the urgent need to ...

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and cardiac transplantation are critical interventions for managing advanced heart failure, a global health challenge ...

Patients were divided into the ROSC group and non-ROSC group based on whether spontaneous circulation was restored after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Multivariate logistic regression was used to ...

The aorta, a large blood vessel responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body, plays a ...
