Exposure to LDL-C-Lowering Genetic Variants Ups T2DM Risk
Meta-analysis shows heterogeneous associations for genes in or near NPC1L1 with type 2 diabetes
Achieving Optimal Medical Tx Before PCI Beneficial in CAD
Significant reduction in subsequent cardiac events for patients achieving OMT before stent implantation
CCTA Has Prognostic Value in Asymptomatic T2DM Patients
Excellent long-term prognoses for patients with normal coronary arteries, non-obstructive CAD
CABG Plus Optimal Medical Therapy Best in T2DM and CAD
During long-term follow-up, CABG + OMT linked to reduction in composite of death, MI, stroke
Coronary Artery Calcium Increased in Psoriasis Patients
Higher levels of coronary artery calcium in patients with psoriasis similar to that seen in type 2 diabetes
Physician Under-Recognition of Angina Often Occurs
Predictors of physician under-recognition include heart failure and less-frequent angina
Lipid Fractions May Be Linked to Risk of CAD, Diabetes
Increase in LDL-C, triglycerides linked to higher CAD risk; LDL-C, HDL-C linked to lower risk of diabetes
Radial Bests Femoral Access for Coronary Interventions
Lower mortality, adverse cardiac events, bleeding seen across CAD patients
Similar Costs for CTA, Functional Diagnostic Testing in CAD
Similar costs for patients in computed tomographic angiography, functional testing arms of PROMISE
ASGR1 Mutation Linked to Reduced Levels of Non-HDL-C
Heterozygous mutation carriers have lower levels of non-HDL-C, reduced risk of coronary artery disease
