Safe Deferral of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for Patients With a Low Pretest Probability of Coronary Artery Disease in 2019 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines

Journal of the American Heart Association

The overall mortality, cardiac deaths, myocardial infarctions, and hospitalizations for unstable angina were acquired from national registry data for 1 to 10 years of follow‐up (median, 4 years). PTP was calculated according to the 2013 and 2019 ESC guidelines.

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4 The benefit was most significant in reducing the incidence of stroke and angina requiring revascularization.35 4 In the U.S. N Engl J Med.

The “open data” movement runs aground on FOURIER

Dr. Anish Koka

Discovering discrepancies in a major published trial from the pharma-academic complex would be a boost to those seeking to force trial data to be public, and that is exactly what a group of investigators attempted to do with a major cholesterol lowering trial published in 2017. But first, some background. Cholesterol lowering is big business.

Occlusion/reperfusion through 6 ‘normal’ ECGs

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

In the STEMI/NSTEMI dichotomy, NSTEMI is supposed to mean non-occlusive myocardial infarction, but this patient had transient Occlusion MI that was at risk for re-occlusion (like ‘transient STEMI’). Impact of total occluson of culprit artery in acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction: a systemic review and meta-analysis.

N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide and pulmonary echography are predictors of acute heart failure needing early mechanical ventilation in acute coronary syndrome

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Methods We analyzed a cohort of patients admitted for ACS between February 2017 and February 2018. Aim The aim of this study was to determine the best clinical predictors of acute heart failure needing mechanical ventilation (MV) in the first 48 h of evolution of patients admitted because of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
