Top studies on Cardiovascular System

Ranked by influential-citation count and publication year.

  1. A calcium antagonist vs a non-calcium antagonist hypertension treatment strategy for patients with coronary artery disease. The International Verapamil-Trandolapril Study (INVEST): a randomized controlled trial.

    JAMA2003n=6,391200 influential citations

    <h4>Context</h4>Despite evidence of efficacy of antihypertensive agents in treating hypertensive patients, safety and efficacy of antihypertensive agents for coronary artery disease (CAD) have been discerned only from subgroup analyses in…

  2. Multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of THC:CBD extract and THC extract in patients with intractable cancer-related pain.

    J Pain Symptom Manage2010n=177RCT147 influential citations

    This study compared the efficacy of a tetrahydrocannabinol:cannabidiol (THC:CBD) extract, a nonopioid analgesic endocannabinoid system modulator, and a THC extract, with placebo, in relieving pain in patients with advanced cancer. In…

  3. Efficacy and safety evaluation of intensive statin therapy in older patients with coronary heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

    Eur J Clin Pharmacol2013n=11,132Meta-Analysis15 influential citations

    <h4>Purpose</h4>To reveal and evaluate the efficacy and safety of intensive statin therapy in older patients (age ≥ 65 years) with coronary heart disease (CHD).<h4>Methods</h4>Electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled…

  4. Projected reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events among high-risk U.S. adults with type 2 diabetes eligible for oral semaglutide: a SOUL trial-based analysis using NHANES (1988-2018) cycles.

    Cardiovascular diabetology. Endocrinology reports2026E

    Background Oral semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), has been shown to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in high-risk individuals with type 2 diabetes in the SOUL trial. Its potential…

  5. Cardiovascular outcomes of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists: A systematic review.

    American journal of health-system pharmacy : AJHP : official journal of the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists2026E

    To identify and evaluate cardiovascular outcome trials for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) in various patient populations, including those with or without type 2 diabetes (T2D). A systematic search of MEDLINE identified…

  6. Effects of tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, on blood pressure, cardiac function, and sympathetic nervous system in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats.

    2026n=9

    Tirzepatide, a dual agonist for glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, has shown robust efficacy in treating diabetes and obesity, and in obese patients with heart failure with…

  7. Feasibility of a Home-based Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation Program on Autonomic-Cardiovascular Safety After Incomplete Tetraplegia.

    Topics in spinal cord injury rehabilitation2026n=4B

    We examined the safety and feasibility of delivering a home-based transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) program in persons with incomplete tetraplegia. We also explored the cardiovascular-autonomic safety during the program. Males with…

  8. Two variations of Commando-Nicks approach for calcified aortic and mitral valve disease.

    Multimedia manual of cardiothoracic surgery : MMCTS2026

    Surgery for radiation-associated valve disease is technically demanding due to challenging exposure, extensive calcification, and risk of paravalvular leak or atrioventricular groove disruption. An oblique aortotomy revealed heavy…

  9. Lateral Circumflex Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm Post-Hip Arthroscopy and Periacetabular Osteotomy in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Case Report.

    JBJS case connector2026

    Case: An 18-year-old woman with Ehlers–Danlos syndrome developed subacute thigh pain on postoperative day 21 following elective hip arthroscopy and a periacetabular osteotomy. Doppler ultrasound revealed a pulsatile “yin–yang” lesion in…

  10. Neural mechanisms underlying blood pressure dynamics and cardiovascular control.

    Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol2026Review

    Blood pressure regulation involves bidirectional brain-heart interactions mediated by both neurochemical signals and mechanosensitive pathways that include recently identified piezo receptors. We review current findings on the dynamic…
