Assessing Prevalence, Treatment of Patients With Severe Hypercholesterolemia
Researchers used electronic health records to further understand the clinical features and gaps in treatment approaches for patients with severe hypercholesterolemia.
Coronary Artery Disease
Premature Mortality Rates Up for CAD in Women From Rural US
Coronary artery disease mortality rates have increased among women from rural areas, while social determinants of health increase the risk for 90-day mortality after heart failure hospitalization.
Coronary Artery Disease Risk Down in Survivors of Childhood Cancer
Risk for coronary artery disease significantly decreased for survivors with diagnosis in 80s, 90s vs 70s.
Tool Developed to Assess Long-Term CVD Risk, Benefit of Lipid-Lowering Intervention
The blood levels of non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol were found to have a strong association with the long-term risk for a cardiovascular disease event.
Comparable 5-Year Outcomes With PCI, CABG for Left Main CAD
The use of percutaneous coronary intervention and coronary artery bypass grafting for the treatment of left main coronary artery disease of low or intermediate anatomic complexity was found to be associated with comparable rates of a composite of death, stroke, and myocardial infarction at 5 years.
Coronary CTA May Consistently Improve Outcomes in Patients With Stable Chest Pain
Coronary computed tomography angiography may consistently improve coronary heart disease outcomes in individuals with chest pain.
Central Obesity Tied to CAD in Postmenopausal Chest Pain
Central, but not overall, obesity linked to obstructive coronary artery disease underlying stable chest pain.
Frequent Fried Food Intake Increases Risk for Coronary Artery Disease
Dose-dependent relationship seen in a large national cohort of US veterans.
Cognitive Decline Faster After Incident Coronary Heart Disease Event
Global cognition, verbal memory, temporal orientation scores decline faster after CHD diagnosis.
Coronary Artery Calcium Score Reliably Risk Stratifies Adults With Hypertension
Coronary artery calcium scoring can risk-stratify patients with hypertension, including those who are SPRINT eligible and can recategorize risk around the atherosclerotic CVD 10% threshold.
