Risk stratification for heart failure (HF) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been well established. The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of HF events…
Clinical outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus and multivessel disease (MVD) undergoing coronary revascularization have not been extensively evaluated, we sought to examine outcomes in a diabetic cohort of 195…
Ranolazine, an antianginal agent with antiarrhythmic properties, prevents atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome. In experimental models, the combination of ranolazine and amiodarone has marked synergistic effects…
Many patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have relatively normal levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol yet have increased risk for cardiovascular events. Distribution of lipoprotein subclasses in patients…
The risk of stroke in patients hospitalized with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) ranges from <1% to ≥2.5%. The aim of this study was to develop a simple predictive tool…
Low levels of statin adherence may compromise treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether nurse-led cardiovascular risk-factor counseling could improve statin adherence and lipid levels without…
The aim of this study was to create a simple risk index to predict new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with histories of AF. AF…
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major impediment to long-term graft survival after heart transplantation. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is more sensitive than coronary angiography for diagnosis, but the identification of…
Women have a higher risk of adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) than men. However, in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), long-term outcomes after contemporary PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES)…
With the growing understanding of the role of inflammation in patients with atherosclerotic disease, studies have focused on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and other inflammatory markers in their association with…
