Randomized trials have established the efficacy of antianginal medications in the treatment of chronic stable coronary disease. Using data from the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) and Canadian…
Limited information is available regarding the impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization on clinical outcomes after myocardial infarction (MI), and the effect of transient kidney injury (KI) on…
Second-generation everolimus-eluting stents (EESs) have demonstrated superiority in efficacy and safety compared with first-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) in the treatment of native coronary artery lesions. The present study evaluated and…
Appropriate risk stratification of patients with established, stable coronary artery disease could contribute to the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events. The purpose of the present study was to develop and…
The predominant cause of death in diabetes mellitus (DM) is coronary artery disease (CAD). Little is known about prevalence of silent ischemia in developing nations. We compared prevalence of silent…
Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains the main predictor of restenosis rates and cardiovascular events following successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) despite the use of drug-eluting stents (DES). HbA1c <6.0% is considered…
The causes of death within 1 year of hospital admission in patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes are ill defined, particularly in patients aged ≥75 years. From January 2008…
Patients with microvascular angina (MVA) often have persistence of symptoms despite full classical anti-ischemic therapy. In this study, we assessed the effect of ivabradine and ranolazine in MVA patients. We randomized 46…
Studies have suggested that operator proficiency has a substantial effect on complication rates and procedural outcomes. Endovascular simulators have been used for training and have been proposed as an alternative…
Previous data have indicated that carotid plaque ulceration is a strong predictor of cerebrovascular events. Standard ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) scans have poor diagnostic accuracy for the detection…
