Background Women are overrepresented among individuals with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). Biological (sex) as well sociocultural (gender) differences between women and men might account for this imbalance, yet their impact on PASC is unknown. Aim We assessed the sex gender in a Swiss population. Method Our multicentre prospective cohort study included 2,856 (46% women, mean age 44.2 ± 16.8 years) outpatients hospitalised patients PCR-confirmed infection. Results Among...
Abstract Background and Aims Increasing data suggest that stress-related neural activity (SNA) is associated with subsequent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) may represent a therapeutic target. Current evidence exclusively based on populations from the U.S. Asia where limited information about disease risk was available. This study sought to investigate whether SNA imaging has clinical value in well-characterized cohort of patients Europe. Methods In this single-centre study, total...
Abstract Background Women are overrepresented amongst individuals suffering from post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). Biological (sex) as well sociocultural (gender) differences between women and men might account for this imbalance, yet their impact on PASC is unknown. Methods Findings By using Bayesian models comprising >200 co-variates, we assessed the social context in addition to biological data a multi-centre prospective cohort study 2927 (46% women) Switzerland. more...
This study aimed to assess the impact of adenosine on quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF) in a rapid stress-rest protocol compared with rest-stress using 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography (PET) perfusion imaging (MPI) and gain insights into time dependency such effects.
The invasive British Cardiovascular Intervention Society Jeopardy Score (iBCIS-JS) is a simple angiographic scoring system, enabling quantification of the extent jeopardized myocardium related to clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD). purpose this study was develop and validate CT angiography-based BCIS-JS (CT-BCIS-JS) against iBCIS-JS in patients with suspected or stable CAD. Patients who underwent angiography followed by angiography, within 90 days were retrospectively...
