Objective: Originally designed to evaluate stroke risk in individuals with atrial fibrillation unrelated to valvular disease, the CHA2DS2-VASc score (Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age ≥ 75 years, Diabetes mellitus, prior Stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism, Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, and Sex category - female) is now additionally utilized for the prognostic evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive role of the CHA2DS2-VASc score for lesion severity and long-term survival outcomes in individuals with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Method: This retrospective analysis included 784 patients diagnosed with PAD via computed tomography (CT) angiography, consecutively enrolled from two medical centers.

Objective: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) cause significant perinatal morbidity. We developed a nomogram predicting preterm delivery risk using pre-delivery 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and clinical factors.
Methods: HDP patients undergoing ABPM within 1 month pre-delivery were enrolled.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) carries high mortality rates and often requires critical family decisions about code status when complications occur. The American Heart Association provides treatment guidelines but acknowledges a significant knowledge gap regarding do-not-resuscitate or do-not-intubate (DNR/DNI) decisions in patients with aSAH, challenging clinicians in identifying appropriate timing for these discussions.
Aim: To identify demographic and clinical physiological factors associated with code status transition in adults with aSAH admitted to the intensive care unit, supporting value-based decision making through more informed and timely discussions between health care providers and families that align with patients' core values and preferences.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, non-inferior clinical trial enrolled patients with coronary heart disease who met the inclusion criteria and had indications for elective percutaneous coronary intervention. Participants were randomly assigned to either the R-PCI group or the M-PCI group.
