Tag: Heart / Stroke-Related: Coronary-Artery Disease

Risk for cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction similar for CCTA and ICA; risk reduced with CCTA compared with exercise ECG, SPECT-MPI

Lower incidence of total knee replacement, total hip replacement seen with use of colchicine 0.5 mg daily

In patients with acute coronary syndrome, decrease seen in cardiac death, MI, stent thrombosis with TiNO-coated stent, which was offset by increase in target lesion revascularization

Increased events seen through three-year follow-up, but similar event rates observed between three and five years

Women with highest atherosclerotic burden have higher risk for MACE than men, especially postmenopausal women

Patients with coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease with poor diet had higher risks for major adverse cardiovascular and limb events

Benefits include reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression levels, as well as increases in quality of life

Highest risk for myocardial infarction seen for those with obstructive-extensive, obstructive-nonextensive subclinical coronary atherosclerosis

History of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia both associated with increased prevalence of all outcomes

Strategy noninferior for three-year composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or coronary revascularization
