Researchers conducted a direct comparison between unmasked 0/1-hour hs-cTnT protocol and standard practice masked 0/3-hour hs-cTnT protocol to determine late outcomes in suspected ACS.
New clinical practice recommendations underscore the importance of identifying the source of chest pain, which may not always be related to a cardiovascular event.
Researchers examined whether early CT coronary angiography could improve one-year clinical outcomes for patients at risk for acute coronary syndrome.
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),…
Researchers evaluated the association between baseline LDL-C and treatment with ezetimibe plus statins in post-acute coronary syndrome.
Net recurrent cardiovascular events were not prevented by an initial invasive treatment strategy in the ISCHEMIA trial.
Researchers evaluated the safety and efficacy of transradial vs transfemoral access in patients with CKD undergoing PCI.
Researchers evaluated the impact of vasopressors on survival in the single-arm, prospective, multicenter National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative trial.
The anti-inflammatory benefits of colchicine were consistently observed in this study, regardless of specific history and timing of prior ACS.
C-peptide level may be independently associated with both cardiac injury score (CIIS) and subclinical myocardial injury.
