Similarly, patients with ventricular dysfunction, ventricular dilation, or fibrosis are at higher risk of having ventricular arrhythmias [4]. Other important risk factors for POAs include previous history of arrhythmias (e.g., AF), cardiac surgery, and POAs. Also, severe right coronary art...
Meaning Results of this study do not support emergency CAG after OHCA without ST-segment elevation. Abstract Importance Although an emergency coronary angiogram (CAG) is recommended for patients who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) with ST-segment elevation on the postresuscitation...
Meaning PCI and CABG both appear to be reasonable options for revascularization in patients with left main disease presenting with or without ACS. Abstract Importance Patients with left main coronary artery disease presenting with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) represent a high-risk and understudied...
Plaque can be soft and vulnerable to rupture, meaning a plaque buildup can burst. Your immune system senses the disturbance and swings into action, forming a blood clot around the rupture in an attempt to “repair” it. This causes further harm, since the blood clot itself can block even ...
(phs001644.v1.p1) was performed at the McDonnell Genome Institute (3UM1HG008853-01S2). WGS for “NHLBI TOPMed: Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA)” (phs001612.v1.p1) was performed at the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome Sequencing Center (HHSN268201600033I)....
including 1) economic issues, as these drugs are expensive, 2) controversy over the meaning of specific endpoints, eg, in an otherwise uncomplicated coronary intervention, the meaning of creatine phosphokinase elevation post-procedure, and 3) what is the risk benefit ratio given the costs involved...
Among men, intake of fatty was associated with a lower risk of . For men in the highest quintile of intake compared with the lowest quintile, the hazard ratio was 0.67 (95% confidence interval: 0.53-0.85). The inverse association was observed for intakes >6 g of fatty per day with no ...
Meaning Any CAC in early adult life, even in those with very low scores, indicates significant risk of having and possibly dying of a myocardial infarction during the next decade beyond standard risk factors and identifies an individual at particularly elevated risk for coronary heart disease for ...
No association was found between the ratio of lipoprotein types and myocardial infarction, indicating that, for a given number of apoB-containing lipoproteins, one type may not be associated with increased risk. Meaning Risk of myocardial infarction may best be captured by the number of apoB-...
