Clopidogrel vs Ticagrelor Reduces Bleeding Risk After PCI for Acute Myocardial Infarction
A uniform unguided de-escalation strategy significantly reduced bleeding events after index percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), according to findings from an open-label, assessor-masked randomized trial published in The Lancet. In the current study, researchers enrolled patients in the Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Stabilized Patients With AMI (TALOS-AMI) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02018055),…
Recommended Age to Screen Young Adults for Coronary Artery Calcium Determined
Researchers sought to determine the age at which young adults should be screened for coronary artery calcium to identify risk for premature atherosclerosis.
Finerenone Reduces Cardiac Events in Comorbid T2D, Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease increases the risk of cardiovascular events associated with type 2 diabetes. A clinical trial sought to discover if finerenone would help patients with both of these conditions.
Long-Term Exposure to Air Pollution and Noise Increases Risk for Heart Failure
Researchers sought to explore the link between heart failure and long-term exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise.
Predictive Performance of Validated VTE Risk Scores in Setting of Malignancy
The clinical performance of several scores to predict VTE risk in the setting of malignancy are compared in a study.
Catheter Ablation More Effective Than Antiarrhythmic Drugs in Symptomatic Paroxysmal AF
Researchers examined the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation compared with antiarrhythmic drugs as a first-line treatment in symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Lifestyle Changes Lower BP in Patients With Resistant Hypertension
Researchers conducted a randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of lifestyle modifications on resistant hypertension.
Is Depression Linked to Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression?
No correlation was observed between symptoms of depression and abdominal aortic aneurysm progression.
Ticagrelor Monotherapy Reduces Bleeding Risk Following PCI in CKD
Ticagrelor monotherapy more effectively reduced risk for bleeding events following PCI among patients with CKD but had little effect on ischemic events.
