Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Angioplasty vs Medical Therapy in Renal Artery Stenosis
Little benefit seen using percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty with stent placement for patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis.
Atherosclerosis
Younger Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia May Have Greatest Risk for CHD and ASCVD
An up to 5-fold increased risk of coronary heart disease hazards was observed in the familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype group for ages 20 to 29.
Reducing the Progression of Coronary Heart Disease With Estradiol
In light of ELITE trial results, estradiol hormone therapy may have a role in coronary heart disease treatment.
Subclinical Atherosclerosis Not Predicted by Average Leucocyte Telomere Length or Short Telomere Load
Researchers studied associations between telomeres and atherosclerosis burden in femoral and carotid arteries in 3 regression models.
Cholesterol Efflux Capacity Improves Atherosclerotic CVD Risk Prediction
Cholesterol efflux capacity remained inversely associated with incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease without attenuation in an adjusted model.
Stroke a Major Burden in the HIV Patient Population
Stroke is very important medical comorbidity of HIV that should receive more research and clinical focus.
ACC/AHA Equation Overestimates Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Large Multiethnic Cohort
The ACC/AHA pooled cohort risk equation significantly overestimated 5-year predicted risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events across sociodemographic groups.
Psoriasis Determined as Risk Factor for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
The observed risk of abdominal aortic aneurysms increased with severity of psoriasis.
Oral Estradiol Therapy Associated With Less Progression of Subclinical Atherosclerosis
Oral estradiol therapy was associated with less progression of subclinical atherosclerosis when administered to women who were less 6 years past menopause.
Femoral vs Carotid Plaque Screening for Coronary Artery Disease Risk
Femoral atherosclerosis had a stronger association with cardiovascular risk factors and coronary calcium than carotid atherosclerosis.
