Factors Predicting Noninitiation of Anticoagulation Therapy After Venous Thromboembolism
Nearly 1 in 4 patients with incident venous thromboembolism were found not to initiate prescribed anticoagulation therapy in the month following hospital discharge.
Teen Obesity, T2DM, Hypertension May Lead to Early Vascular Aging
The presence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) in adolescence accelerates the progression of risk factors that play a role in the development of early vascular aging.
VA-ECMO for PCS After TAAD, a Valid Support Option
Mortality rates in patients managed with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock were similar for acute type A aortic dissection vs surgeries for other conditions.
Good Outcomes With Ultrasound-Guided PBAV for Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous balloon aortic valvuloplasty was found to be effective and to be associated with good clinical and echocardiographic short-term outcomes in patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis.
Venous Thromboembolism vs Major Bleeding: Case Fatality Rates of Patients With Cancer Receiving Anticoagulation
Case fatality rates may vary among cancer patients with VTE or major bleeding who receive anticoagulant treatments.
Machine Learning May Help Predict Risk for AAA Growth and Rupture
A machine learning algorithm developed based on computed tomography angiography imaging was found to be useful in predicting expansion of small abdominal aortic aneurysm.
High Alcohol Consumption May Be Associated With Increased Risk for PAD, Stroke
Higher alcohol consumption may be causally associated with an increased risk for stroke and peripheral artery disease.
Assessing Clinical Usefulness of Vascular Biomarkers in Risk Stratification for Systemic Sclerosis
Researchers assessed the clinical usefulness of specific biomarkers in risk stratification for vascular complications Identifying biomarkers that predict risk for pulmonary hypertension or ischemic digital lesions may be useful in monitoring the development of systemic sclerosis in patients.
Risk for PAD Events May Be Related to Lipoprotein(a) Levels, Reduced by Alirocumab After ACS
