Relation of Patients Living Without a Partner or Spouse to Being Physically Active After Acute Coronary Syndromes (from the PULSE Accelerometry Substudy)

Dec 5, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Relation of Patients Living Without a Partner or Spouse to Being Physically Active After Acute Coronary Syndromes (from the PULSE Accelerometry Substudy)

Living alone is associated with adverse outcomes after acute coronary syndromes (ACS). One potential mediator of the relation between partner status and outcomes after ACS is physical activity. To evaluate…

Mortality Risk as a Function of the Ratio of Pulmonary Trunk to Ascending Aorta Diameter In Patients With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

Dec 5, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Mortality Risk as a Function of the Ratio of Pulmonary Trunk to Ascending Aorta Diameter In Patients With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

Although an increased pulmonary trunk (PT) diameter to ascending aorta (AA) diameter ratio (PT/AA ratio) is associated with pulmonary hypertension, the prognostic utility of this metric remains unexamined. We investigated…

Comparison of Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Cardiac Arrest Survivors Having Versus Not Having Coronary Angiography

Dec 5, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Comparison of Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Cardiac Arrest Survivors Having Versus Not Having Coronary Angiography

Prompt percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with improved survival in patients presenting with cardiac arrest. Few studies, however, have focused on patients with cardiac arrest not selected for coronary angiography….

Evaluation of Serial Changes in Tissue Characteristics During Statin-Induced Plaque Regression Using Virtual Histology-Intravascular Ultrasound Studies

Dec 5, 2016 by in CARDIOLOGY Comments Off on Evaluation of Serial Changes in Tissue Characteristics During Statin-Induced Plaque Regression Using Virtual Histology-Intravascular Ultrasound Studies

Treatment of all coronary arteries is important to improve the prognosis of acute coronary syndrome after early reperfusion of the culprit lesion. Early statin treatment has been reported to cause…
