Higher Intake of Carbohydrates May Increase Risk for Premature Death
An excess of carbohydrates may be to blame for higher risk of premature deaths, not fats.
ESC 2017 Meeting Highlights
Anacetrapib Reduces Major Coronary Events When Added to Intensive Statin Therapy
Lower incidence of major coronary events for patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease receiving intensive statins is linked with use of anacetrapib.
Cardiovascular Event Risk Better Predicted by ApoB vs LDL Cholesterol Level
Clinical benefit of reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels may depend on the corresponding reduction in apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoprotein particles.
Incidence of Undiagnosed AF Identified by Insertable Cardiac Monitors High
Incidence for undiagnosed atrial fibrillation high from insertable cardiac monitors.
Comparison of PCI Outcomes With Bivalirudin vs Heparin Post-STEMI or NSTEMI
In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention for either STEMI or NSTEMI, bivalirudin and heparin produce similar outcomes.
Suspected MI: No Difference Between Supplemental Oxygen and Ambient Air Treatment
Supplemental oxygen therapy does not decrease the risk for 1-year all-cause mortality in patients with suspected myocardial infarction.
Which Revascularization Strategy Produces Better Outcomes in Type 1 Diabetes?
Coronary artery bypass grafting yielded better outcomes in patients with type 1 diabetes who had multivessel disease compared with percutaneous coronary intervention.
Greater CV Benefit With Rivaroxaban Plus Aspirin vs Monotherapy in Stable ASCVD
Despite more major bleeding events, rivaroxaban plus aspirin therapy had a greater cardiovascular benefit in patients with stable atherosclerotic vascular disease vs monotherapy.
Atherosclerotic Disease Benefits From Interleukin-1β Targeting
In high-risk patients with atherosclerotic disease, canakinumab may help reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events.
