Patients with drug-eluting stent-related in-stent restenosis (ISR) were found to have poorer long-term outcomes than patients with bare-metal stent-related ISR.
Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement had superior short-term outcomes than redo surgical aortic valve replacement, but comparable long-term outcomes.
The rate of premature cardiac deaths (PCDs) decreased across U.S. counties from 1999 to 2017, although widening geographic disparities have been observed.
A reduced dose of prasugrel compared with the standard dose of ticagrelor was associated with maintained anti-ischemic efficacy and safety in elderly or low-weight patients with acute coronary syndrome.
In patients hospitalized for COVID-19, the presence of pulmonary hypertension may be associated with more severe presentation of the disease and worse in-hospital outcomes.
Use of radial artery vs saphenous vein for coronary artery bypass grafting was found to be associated with a reduced long-term risk for a composite of cardiovascular outcomes.
In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, traditional cardiovascular risk factors and corticosteroids may increase the risk of worsening subclinical atherosclerosis indices over a 1-year period.
Demand for PAs in medical and surgical subspecialties is increasing according to data from 2014 and 2016, reflecting the profession’s robust expansion from primary care.
The use of a new open-source machine learning model immediately following stent implantation in patients with STEMI was found to provide a more accurate estimate of the risk for in-stent restenosis compared with currently used parameters.
Mismatched and matched defects can be observed in preoperative and postoperative ventilation-perfusion scans of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
![The most frequent cardiovascular manifestations of AS are aortic insufficiency and conduction disorders.[2] Up to 20% of patients with AS have conduction disorders, of which atrioventricular block is the most common.[5,6] Compared with the general population, patients with AS have a 30% to 50% increase in the risk of acute coronary syndromes, deep venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, or stroke.[8] They also have a 25% to 60% greater risk of ischemic heart disease, congestive heart failure, and valvular heart disease.[9] Heart failure may occur secondary to mitral insufficiency.[2] Aortic dissection, which is a rare but frequently fatal complication of aortic insufficiency, has also been observed in patients with AS.[2] Other potential cardiovascular complications include left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, pericarditis, myocardial disease, peripheral vascular disease, and hypertension.[2,3,5]](https://3fvcugvijkt9bj7w3wf2t712-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2019/01/thinkstockphotos474641458101_1032729.jpg)
