HDL Apolipoproteomic Score Linked to Presence of Coronary Artery Disease
An HDL apolipoproteomic score was associated with the presence of coronary artery disease, independent of other conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

Less Bleeding Risk With Apixaban Without Aspirin After ACS in Atrial Fibrillation
In patients with atrial fibrillation and a recent acute coronary syndrome or PCI treated with a P2Y12 inhibitor, an antithrombotic regimen that included apixaban, without aspirin, resulted in less bleeding and fewer hospitalizations.
Wait-and-See Method Noninferior to Early Cardioversion for Early-Onset Afib
Among patients who presented to the emergency department with recent-onset symptomatic atrial fibrillation, a wait-and-see strategy was noninferior to early cardioversion in obtaining sinus rhythm at 4 weeks after the index visit.
PCSK9 Inhibitor Treatment Increases Very Low-Density Lipoprotein Size
Results reflect a higher clearance of small atherogenic very-low-density lipoproteins remnant particles, which might contribute to cardiovascular risk reduction beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering in clinical routine.
Final Infarct Size Similar With Complete vs Culprit Lesion PCI in STEMI
Complete fractional flow reserve-guided revascularization in patients with STEMI and multivessel disease did not affect final infarct size, LV function, or remodeling compared with culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention.
Female Sex Independently Associated With Worse Catheter Ablation Outcomes in Afib
Women have higher rates of complications and hospital readmission following atrial fibrillation ablation independent of age, comorbidities, and hospital factors.
Anemia in Atrial Fibrillation Linked to Increased Bleeding Risk
Anemia in patients with atrial fibrillation is associated with major bleeding and lower time in therapeutic range.
Pregnancy Complication Rates Highest in Women With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Rates of pregnancy complications were highest among women with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Effects of Depression on Angina Severity in Patients Undergoing Chronic Total Occlusion PCI
Depression is common in patients with chronic total occlusion, and has been linked to more severe baseline angina.
Short-Term Mortality After Acute MI on the Decline
Short-term mortality and readmission rates after acute MI have improved during the last 20 years among Medicare beneficiaries.
