Exploring the Role of Mental Health in Myocardial Infarction Outcomes
Eugene C. DePasquale, MD, and Erin D. Michos, MD, discuss the effect of mental health on outcomes for patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction.
USPSTF Draft Recommendation on Aspirin: What Approach Should Clinicians Take?
In an interview, Jeffrey S Berger, MD, shares his thoughts on updated USPSTF guidelines that address risk of major bleeding from aspirin use for primary prevention of CVD.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Increased in Young, Black US Adults
Researchers at AHA 2021 presented their findings from a study that compared CVD risk factors and in-hospital outcomes in young, Black US adults a decade apart.
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),…
USPSTF: Starting Aspirin in Patients 60 or Older for Primary CVD Prevention Not Recommended
Starting aspirin in patients 60 years or older to prevent a first heart attack or stroke is not recommended.
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.
BMI Fluctuations May Predict Poor Outcomes in CKD
High variability in body mass index is associated with an increased risk for death, requiring kidney replacement therapy, myocardial infarction, and stroke, investigators concluded.
