Time to all-cause death or repeated revascularization shorter with off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Traditional risk factors such as subsequent diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia only partially contribute to higher risk

Decreases seen for reversible risk in vulnerable patients with high baseline risk

In high polygenic risk score group, ideal versus poor LS7 linked to 20.2 more years free of coronary heart disease

However, some small but significant increases and decreases seen in specific geographic areas

Machine learning used to generate risk score based on clinical data and measurements from stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Findings not consistent with prespecified noninferiority of fractional flow reserve-guided percutaneous coronary intervention

Risk for coronary artery disease increased for young women receiving radiation for left- versus right-sided breast cancer

9.2 percent of those with zero CAC and intermediate 10-year atherosclerotic CVD risk had CCTA-verified atherosclerosis

Overall, 19.5 percent of obese patients lost ≥5 percent of weight by six to 24 months after a CHD-related hospitalization
