Abstract Aims Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has a high incidence and clinical importance, the conventional diagnosis criteria for detecting LVH using electrocardiography (ECG) not been satisfied. We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm LVH. Methods results This retrospective cohort study involved review of 21 286 patients who were admitted two hospitals between October 2016 July 2018 underwent 12-lead ECG echocardiography within 4 weeks.

Maintaining macrophage (MΦ) heterogeneity is critical to ensure intestinal tissue homeostasis and host defense. The gut microbiota factors are thought synergistically guide MΦ development, although the exact nature, regulation, location of such collaboration remain unclear. Here, we report that microbial biochemical energy metabolism promotes colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2) production by group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) within solitary isolated tissues (SILTs) in a cell-extrinsic,...
Drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation may be associated with endothelial dysfunction. However, changes in long-term function based on the type of DES remain largely unknown. We assessed coronary after compared to bare-metal stents (BMS) and determined differences according type. Patients who had single BMS or left anterior descending artery showed no restenosis follow-up angiography at 6 9 months were assigned group (5 patients) (9 sirolimus-eluting stents, SES, 8 paclitaxel-eluting PES)....
