There is an inverse association between coffee consumption and coronary artery calcium, especially among never smokers.
Cholesterol drug may lower risk for death and cardiovascular events
Alirocumab significantly decreased severe cardiovascular risks in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Noninvasive coronary testing may prevent need for future invasive tests

Coronary artery disease: primary prevention measures
Primary prevention efforts such as exercise, weight control, cessation of smoking, and alcohol intake can greatly affect the development of CAD.
New long-acting bronchodilator use linked to CV risk in COPD patients
Use of long-acting bronchodilators is linked to cardiovascular risks in patients with COPD.
Long-term gluten consumption not linked to coronary heart disease
Avoiding gluten may result in reduced consumption of beneficial whole grains that could affect cardiovascular risk.
Efficacy of renin angiotensin system inhibitors for coronary artery disease
RASIs reduced cardiovascular events and death only when compared with placebo but not when compared with active controls.
Coronary artery bypass linked to new-onset diabetes
Coronary artery bypass surgery may lead to metabolic changes, causing new-onset diabetes.
