Abstract 4148106: Hemophilia and Cardiovascular disease in the United States: Prevalence, Risk factors, and outcomes.

Circulation

Owing to improved management, the life expectancy of patients with hemophilia has increased significantly and predisposes them to risk of cardiovascular diseases and thrombotic events. The primary outcome was to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with hemophilia compared to the general population.

Non-coronary atherosclerosis: a marker of poor prognosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction The presence of non-coronary atherosclerosis (NCA) in patients with coronary artery disease is associated with a poor prognosis. We have studied whether NCA is also a predictor of poorer outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Impact of Lipoprotein(a) on Valvular and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundLp(a) (lipoprotein(a)) is an independent risk factor for calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS). Whether patients with CAVS and high Lp(a) levels are at higher risk of valvular or cardiovascular events is unknown. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. The maximal followup time was set to 5 years.

An athletic 30-something woman with acute substernal chest pressure

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

She had zero CAD risk factors. The first troponin I returned at 0.022 ng/mL (99% URL = 0.030 ng/mL) Not having seen the ECG findings, the providers discussed her very low risk with her and whether she would like to go home and follow up if her 2nd troponin remained negative , or be admitted to observation.
