Meta-Analyses Link Rosiglitazone to Increased Cardiovascular Risk
Rosiglitazone seems to be associated with an increased cardiovascular risk, particularly heart failure.
Heart Failure
Routine CMR Not Found to Improve HF Etiological Classification
Implementation of routine vs selective cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was not found to improve etiological classification of heart failure in patients with nonischemic heart failure.
Biomarkers to Assess Risk Level for Expanded HF in T2DM After ACS
A set of biomarkers and clinical variables was found to facilitate the assessment of the risk level for expanded heart failure outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a recent history of acute coronary syndrome.
Hydromorphone-CR Exposure Increases Heart Infection Risk in People Who Inject Drugs
Exposure to controlled-release hydromorphone is associated with an increased risk for infective endocarditis in PWID.
Can a Biomarker Predict Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure?
In general, significantly greater NPY levels were observed in women, patients with diabetes, and patients with hypertension.
Biodegradable vs Second-Generation Polymer Drug-Eluting Stent for MI
The use of a biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent during percutaneous coronary intervention was associated with better long-term outcomes compared with a second-generation durable polymer drug-eluting stent in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Coronary Sinus NPY Levels Found to Be Associated With Stable CHF Outcomes
The levels of neuropeptide Y in the coronary sinus may be associated with outcomes in individuals with stable coronary heart failure who are undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy.
