Long-Term Outcomes Similar for Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds Versus Metal Stents
Increased events seen through three-year follow-up, but similar event rates observed between three and five years
Women Have About 12-Year Delay in Onset of Atherosclerosis
Women with highest atherosclerotic burden have higher risk for MACE than men, especially postmenopausal women
Poor-Quality Diet Tied to Higher Risk for Adverse CAD, PAD Outcomes
Patients with coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease with poor diet had higher risks for major adverse cardiovascular and limb events
Meditation Complements Cardiac Rehab for Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Benefits include reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression levels, as well as increases in quality of life
MI Risk Increased With Subclinical, Obstructive Coronary Atherosclerosis
Highest risk for myocardial infarction seen for those with obstructive-extensive, obstructive-nonextensive subclinical coronary atherosclerosis
History of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Linked to Coronary Artery Disease
History of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia both associated with increased prevalence of all outcomes
ACC: Treat-to-Target LDL-C Strategy Noninferior to High-Intensity Statins
Strategy noninferior for three-year composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or coronary revascularization
Sleep Irregularity Linked to Measures of Subclinical Atherosclerosis
Greater sleep duration irregularity linked to increased prevalence of high coronary artery calcium burden, abnormal ankle-brachial index
Risk for Ischemic Heart Disease Increased With Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes
Increased risk seen in 10 years after delivery and at 30 to 46 years after delivery for women with one of five adverse pregnancy outcomes
Outcomes Superior With CABG Versus Multivessel PCI
CABG linked to lower hospital mortality, fewer hospital admissions at three years, less repeat PCI, improved three-year survival
