Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity and incident heart failure after myocardial infarction: a cohort study

Heart BMJ

Background Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a recognised outcome in patients with myocardial infarction, although heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is more common. Among patients with myocardial infarction, a 1-SD increase in pulse pressure was associated with a 1.60-fold m/s had a 2.10-fold

Long-term prognostic impact of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist before ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes: a nationwide cohort study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) treatment reduces cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes. Yet, the impact of GLP-1RA treatment before ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) on.

Pulse pressure and aortic valve peak velocity as new predictors of heart failure in patients post-myocardial infarction

Heart BMJ

Heart failure (HF) is one of the significant complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), leading to increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Common predictors include older age, prior hypertension, diabetes and atrial fibrillation. HFrEF is more commonly.

Diabetes mellitus risk in post-myocardial infarction patients: FINDRISC versus self-assessment—a cross sectional study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

The aim of this study was to investigate the difference between perceived and calculated diabetes risks among post-myocardial infarction (AMI) patients using the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC).

Liver Disease, High Lipoprotein(a) Tied to Higher MI Risk in Diabetes Patients

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- NEW ORLEANS -- Individuals with diabetes were more likely to report a history of myocardial infarction (MI) if they also had high levels of serum lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), or advanced liver fibrosis, a retrospective study using.

Structured diabetes care routines in cardiac rehabilitation are associated with increased diabetes detection and improved treatment after myocardial infarction: a nationwide observational study

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Despite the detrimental impact of abnormal glucose metabolism on cardiovascular prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI), diabetes is both underdiagnosed and undertreated. We investigated associations betwee.

Trends in prognosis and use of SGLT2i and GLP-1 RA in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Objective To explore trends in prognosis and use of glucose-lowering drugs (GLD) in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). Research design and methods All patients with diabetes and CAD undergoing a coronary angiography between 2010 and 2021 according to the Swedish Angiography and Angioplasty Registry were included.
