Low- vs Standard Pressure Inflation of Oversized Drug-Coated Balloon for CAD Treatment
The use of oversized drug-coated balloons at low pressure was found to be effective in preventing late restenosis in patients with coronary artery disease.
CHD
Cardiovascular Comorbidities More Likely in Adults With CHD
Adults with congenital heart defects are more likely to report cardiovascular comorbidities than those in the general population.
Cost-Effectiveness of CAC Screening in Subclinical CAD With Family History
Systematic coronary artery calcium scoring screening and treatment of individuals with a family history of premature coronary artery disease and subclinical disease was found to be more cost-effective than management based on statin treatment thresholds.
Need for Early Coronary Artery Calcium Screening: Leveraging the Genetic Risk Score
A genetic risk score was found to be useful in identifying young individuals at high risk for coronary heart disease who need to undergo coronary artery calcium screening.
T2DM Associated With Premature Heart Disease in Women
Women younger than 55 years with type 2 diabetes have a 10-fold greater risk for having coronary heart disease.
Women Less Likely to Undergo Guideline-Concordant CABG
Female sex is associated with lower odds of undergoing guideline-concordant revascularization.
PCI With PEB Found to Be Safe and Effective for In-Stent Restenosis and De Novo Coronary Lesions
Percutaneous coronary intervention with paclitaxel-eluting balloons safe and effective for in-stent restenosis and de novo coronary lesions.
Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Levels of ADAMTS-9
Greater levels of ADAMTS-9 were found to be associated with greater risk for MACE in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
No Association Between Coronary Heart Disease, Myocardial Infarction and Sickle Cell Trait in African Americans
Investigators aimed to determine whether the sickle cell trait was associated with myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease among African American individuals.
Novel Inflammation Marker May Predict Coronary Artery Lesions in Kawasaki Disease
The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio is a novel inflammation marker that may be a valuable predictor of coronary artery lesion formation in Kawasaki disease.
