Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The growing interest in natural language processing chatbots (NLPCs) has driven their inevitable widespread adoption in healthcare. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of responses provided by NLPCs, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Bing, to frequently asked questions about CAD.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a widespread health issue globally, linked to significant morbidity and mortality. While oxidative stress, dysregulated lipid metabolism, and unhealthy lifestyle choices contribute to CAD, recent research highlights the role of immune responses and inflammation. Malnutrition, a modifiable risk factor, notably impacts CAD prognosis. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), derived from serum albumin and lymphocyte count, predicts outcomes in various diseases. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between malnutrition, as assessed by the PNI score, and the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis, evaluated by fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements.

Although left ventricular hypertrophy frequently accompanies end-stage renal disease, heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (EF) is also observed in a subset of patients. In those patients kidney transplantation (KT) is generally avoided due to an increased risk of mortality in addition to the risks associated with HF. This prospective study was designed to follow patients with HF who were being prepared for KT.

To investigate the relationship between anxiety and white coat hypertension (WCH) using the hospital anxiety and depression scale-anxiety (HADS-A) score. Participants lacking a pre-existing diagnosis of hypertension but displaying increased office blood pressure were included in this study. Subsequently, they were classified as either newly diagnosed sustained hypertension (SustHT) or white coat hypertension (WCH) patients, as determined by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring measurements. The assessment of their anxiety levels was conducted using the HADS-A questionnaire. We performed regression, comparative, and sensitivity analyses to elucidate the association between anxiety and WCH.
