Spotlight on Increasing Myocardial Infarction Disparities in Young Women
Viola Vaccarino, MD, PhD, Yuan Lu, ScD, and Ersilia M. DeFilippis, MD, discuss increasing rates of myocardial infarction among young women.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
ACS Risk Biomarkers Significantly Increase After mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine
Increases in PULS Cardiac Test scores after mRNA vaccinations suggest a significantly higher risk of developing acute coronary syndrome, according to findings presented at AHA 2021.
High-Sensitivity Troponin Tests May Not Reduce Ischemic Events in Suspected ACS
Researchers conducted a direct comparison between unmasked 0/1-hour hs-cTnT protocol and standard practice masked 0/3-hour hs-cTnT protocol to determine late outcomes in suspected ACS.
Clopidogrel vs Ticagrelor Reduces Bleeding Risk After PCI for Acute Myocardial Infarction
A uniform unguided de-escalation strategy significantly reduced bleeding events after index percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), according to findings from an open-label, assessor-masked randomized trial published in The Lancet. In the current study, researchers enrolled patients in the Ticagrelor Versus Clopidogrel in Stabilized Patients With AMI (TALOS-AMI) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02018055),…
Biomarkers Distinguish Between Subtypes of Myocardial Infarction and Injury
Researchers assessed the value of a biomarker model in distinguishing subtypes of myocardial infarction and injury.
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.
Increase in Stress Cardiomyopathy Incidence During the COVID-19 Pandemic
The incidence of stress cardiomyopathy has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Colorectal Cancer Rates and Mortality Drops in Adults Aged <50
The report suggests higher screening rates explains the positive trend.
Poorer Outcomes for Women with ACS During 36 Months After Discharge
There was a higher incidence of composite end point for women during 36 months after acute coronary syndrome.
Similar Outcomes Observed Between Men and Women With Premature ACS
The prognosis for women is now similar to men following an event of premature ACS, despite higher overall rates of rehospitalizations.
