Coronary Artery Calcium Score Has Long-Term Prognostic Utility
CAC=0 offers almost 15-year warranty against mortality, with no difference based on age, gender
Coronary Artery Disease Ups Risk of Bowel Bleeds With NSAIDs
Co-use of thienopyridine and prior use of rebamipide also up risk
Coronary Artery Calcification Predicts 15-Year Mortality
Extent of CAC accurately predicts mortality in patients without symptoms of coronary artery dz
Sex Differences in CHD Event Risk Vary by Race
Larger differences in nonfatal events seen for whites versus blacks; risk of death not affected by race
Visit-to-Visit SBP Variability Not Linked to Major Cardiac Events
Findings in hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease
Minimal Yield Seen for Routine Noninvasive Testing for CAD
Low yield among patients presenting with acute chest pain and low clinical risk
CCTA Reclassifies CAD Risk for Most Patients With Chest Pain
Reclassification of 83 percent of patients with intermediate pretest probability of CAD
Imaging Deemed More Effective Than Exercise Tolerance Testing
Fewer invasive coronary angiography procedures, higher CAD yield for patients with suspected CAD
Glucose Variation Impacts Coronary Plaque Vulnerability
Findings in patients with coronary artery disease pretreated with lipid-lowering therapy
Visit-to-Visit LDL-C Variability Predicts Cardiac Event Risk
Variability predicts increased risk in patients with coronary artery disease, independent of LDL-C levels
