treatment increases cardiovascular risk. Objective To test the hypothesis that testosterone …

Objectives: The authors sought to evaluate the plaque-modifying effects of low-dose
colchicine therapy plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) in patients post-acute coronary …

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) was initially developed as a non-invasive diagnostic
tool to detect and quantify coronary stenosis. Thanks to the rapid technological …

Background HIV-infected patients have a high risk of myocardial infarction. We aimed to
assess the ability of statin treatment to reduce arterial inflammation and achieve regression …

An important advantage of computed tomography coronary angiography (CCTA) is its ability
