Colchicine Treatment May Lower Risk for Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Coronary Disease
Daily colchicine treatment may reduce the risk for cardiovascular events in patients with chronic coronary disease.
Myocardial Infarction
Higher Triglyceride Levels Linked to Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes
Researchers sought to determine whether triglyceride levels were independently associated with cardiovascular disease among patients with coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes.
Evolocumab Found to Reduce LDL-C, CV Risk in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
Evolocumab treatment in addition to statin therapy was found to lower cardiovascular risk in patients with metabolic syndrome and stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Confirmatory Testing No Longer Needed for 23andMe’s CYP2C19 Report
The 510(k) clearance allows for modification of the labeling of the previously authorized pharmacogenetics report.
Association Between HDL-C Levels, Variability, and Risk for Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, and Mortality
Low mean levels and high variability of HDL-C were found to be associated with increased risks for stroke, myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality.
Oral Anticoagulation Found to Increase Bleeding Risk in Patients With HFrEF and Sinus Rhythm
Oral anticoagulation with or without antiplatelet medication was found to increase the risk for bleeding, with minimal protective effect against ischemic stroke in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and sinus rhythm.
Length of Blood Flow Reversal During TCAR May Not Affect Procedure Outcomes
The duration of carotid blood flow reversal during transcarotid artery revascularization for carotid bifurcation stenosis was not found to affect the rate of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death.
Increased Risk for Ischemic Stroke in First 6 Months After Intracerebral Hemorrhage Diagnosis
There may be an increased risk for ischemic stroke in elderly patients with intracerebral hemorrhage in the first 6 months after diagnosis.
Improved In-Hospital Mortality for Patients With Known OSA Admitted for Myocardial Infarction
Patients admitted to the hospital for myocardial infarction with a known diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea were found to have improved in-hospital mortality.
Mild Cognitive Impairment Linked to Lower Use of Cardiac Catheterization in Acute MI
Preexisting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with a lower use of cardiac catheterization and coronary revascularization after acute myocardial infarction.
