Predictors of 10-Year Stent-Related Adverse Outcomes after Coronary Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation: The Importance of Stent Size
Conclusions: Ten-year outcomes show large variations depending on the stent size and a few patient and lesion characteristics. The calculation of a PS from these unambiguous variables may be used to improve the risk estimate in individual lesions and patients.Cardiology (Source: Cardiology)

Association of Body Mass Index with Mortality in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock following Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Contemporary Danish Cohort Analysis
Conclusions: Thirty-day mortality in patients with AMICS was not associated with the BMI category. Thus, evidence of an “obesity paradox” was not observed in this contemporary cohort of patients with AMICS in Denmark.Cardiology (Source: Cardiology)
