FFRCT Slashes PAD + CAD Mortality

CardiacWire

A study in the Journal of Vascular Surgery revealed that adding FFRCT assessments to patient workups prior to peripheral artery disease surgeries has a massive impact on coronary artery disease detection, treatments, and long-term outcomes.

Cardiovascular Risk Stratification of Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: The CARE?BMT Risk Score

Journal of the American Heart Association

We identified the subset of variables most predictive of post‐HSCT cardiovascular events, defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and sustained ventricular tachycardia.

Lipoprotein(a) as a risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in patients in non-metropolitan area of Brandenburg, Germany

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Results Brandenburg patients with cardiovascular diseases showed higher Lp(a) levels than healthy controls (24.2% vs. 14.8%, p  = 0.001), and the high-Lp(a) group demonstrated a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, or cerebrovascular disease than the low-Lp(a) group ( p  = 0.004).

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).
