The long-term prognostic value of elevated cardiac biomarkers after elective cardiac surgery is not clear. The recent guidelines for diagnosing perioperative infarcts have advocated the use of similar thresholds for…
Patients with mixed hyperlipidemia and at high risk of coronary heart disease may not achieve recommended low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and non–high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol goals on statin monotherapy. This study…
Increased serum phosphorus has been associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular (CV) disease. However, information is scant regarding the influence of serum phosphorus within the normal range on vascular risk…
Restenosis is associated with acute myocardial infarction (MI) either at presentation or related to complications of target lesion revascularization (TLR). The cumulative late effect of TLR after drug-eluting or bare…
The optimal reperfusion strategy in very elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is still a subject of debate. The aim of this multicenter study was to determine the medium-term…
Plasma renin activity (PRA) is a measure of renin–angiotensin system activity and is associated with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). We conducted a prospective analysis to assess…
To determine the relative contributions of triglycerides (TGs) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the residual risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) after the reduction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol…
