Statin use linked to reduced risk for major adverse cardiovascular events in individuals with nonobstructive coronary artery disease

Association remained significant after adjustment for major coronary risk factors, comorbidity, anxiety and depression symptoms

Replacing animal products such as butter, cheese, eggs, processed meat with avocado linked to lower risk for CVD events

Heavy consumption tied to exponential increases of cardiovascular disease risk

The presence of breast arterial calcification on routine mammography in postmenopausal women may indicate increased cardiovascular risk

Time to all-cause death or repeated revascularization shorter with off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Traditional risk factors such as subsequent diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia only partially contribute to higher risk

Decreases seen for reversible risk in vulnerable patients with high baseline risk

In high polygenic risk score group, ideal versus poor LS7 linked to 20.2 more years free of coronary heart disease

However, some small but significant increases and decreases seen in specific geographic areas
