A common feedback I get is that people with existing coronaryarterydisease feel like it doesn’t apply to them. Arguably, applying the principles of prevention offers more bang for buck in the short term for people WITH coronaryarterydisease than those without coronaryarterydisease.
1 Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that affects multiple vascular regions and is particularly severe in PAD patients, where up to 80 percent suffer from concurrent coronaryarterydisease (CAD), historically linked with a mortality rate exceeding 50 percent within five years. Journal of Vascular Surgery, Mar.
BackgroundCoronary computed tomography angiography is increasingly used as the first‐line test for suspected coronaryarterydisease. The overall mortality, cardiac deaths, myocardialinfarctions, and hospitalizations for unstable angina were acquired from national registry data for 1 to 10 years of follow‐up (median, 4 years).
Introduction:Cervical artery dissection (CAD) and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are key health challenges. We utilized a multi-state database to examine myocardialinfarction (MI) risk post stroke or CAD to estimate cardiovascular complication risk.Method:We analyzed State Inpatient Database from New York (2011-2017) and Florida (2011-2019).
Results Out of the total 776 KTR transplanted between 2017 and 2019, CAG was performed on 541 patients (69.7%), of whom 22.4% were found to have obstructive coronaryarterydisease (CAD). of cases, CAG findings resulted in myocardial revascularization. Asymptomatic obstructive CAD was observed in 70.2%
After adjustment, surgical ineligibility was associated with a significantly decreased time to mortality (time ratio, 0.801 [95% CI, 0.6620.970]) over a median 1045-day (interquartile range, 5831600) follow-up period, though not associated with composite MACE (time ratio, 0.859 [95% CI, 0.6851.078]).
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronaryarterydisease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3
In the early years of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), studies indicated a heightened risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), involving outcomes such as death, Q-wave myocardialinfarction (MI), stent thrombosis, and repeat revascularization.
BackgroundThe prognostic value of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) has been well described in patients with coronaryarterydisease (CAD). Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) promotes insulin resistance and has also been regarded as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Preliminary findings documented in the cath lab were “Anterior STEMI and no significant coronaryarterydisease.” (!!!) 2017 Sep-Oct;50(5):561-569. Epub 2017 Apr 19. Terminal QRS distortion is present in anterior myocardialinfarction but absent in early repolarization. ng/mL and 0.10 2017.04.005.
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). Methods We analyzed a cohort of patients admitted for ACS between February 2017 and February 2018.
Troponin T peaked at 38,398 ng/L ( = a very large myocardialinfarction, but not massive-- thanks to the pre-PCI spontaneous reperfusion, and rapid internvention!! ). Over the next couple of days the patient was weaned off of mechanical circulatory support. Inotropic medication was continued.
17] Glycemic improvement alone, however, has not been associated with improved risk of macrovascular diabetes complications, such as myocardialinfarction, stroke and heart failure. 2017): 266 – 279. 2017): 451-463. 2017): 644-657. Carbone, Salvatore, Carl J. Lavie, and Ross Arena. Mayo Clinic Proceedings 92.2
In most cases, rather, the culprit is gross ischemia due to myocardialinfarction, cardiomyopathy, or advanced coronaryarterydisease. Unfortunately, today’s case is lacking any such diagnostics, thus I cannot say with certainty that the QT interval is, or is not, culpable in arrhythmogenesis. [1] 2] Viskin, S.,
Studies have shown that an increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) is associated with worse outcomes in various cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, and coronaryarterydisease (CAD). The restrictive cubic spline in Figure 2 showed that LVEDD greater than 60 mm increased the risk of MACEs.
