PCI Viable Alternative to CABG for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease

0
PCI is safe, efficacious in appropriately selected patients; randomized studies will aid decision making
A high fasting triglyceride level combined with a low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level is associated with increased risks of incident coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke

High TG, Low HDL-C Levels May Help Further Stratify CHD Risk

0
Fasting high TG + low HDL associated with increased risk, particularly in those with diabetes

0
No differences in cardiovascular, bleeding outcomes in patients with diabetes receiving DAPT, aspirin
For patients with coronary heart disease

Noncardiovascular Cause of Death More Common in CHD Patients

0
Predictors of noncardiac death include older age, inducible ischemia, higher heart rate, statin nonuse
There is a graded association between intensity of statin therapy and mortality for patients with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease

High-Intensity Statins Tied to Better Survival in CVD Patients

0
Significant survival advantage compared with moderate-intensity statins, even among older adults
For patients with stable coronary artery disease

Depressive Symptoms Linked to Functional Status in CAD

0
Patients with class II, III, or IV functional status have increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure
