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.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
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 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.
Statins May Prevent Bone Loss in Elderly Women With Coronary Artery Disease
Statin use in elderly women with coronary artery disease may prevent bone loss.
