Effects of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Reduced Ejection Fraction Heart Failure and Coronary Heart Disease: A Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The mortality rates of PCI and CABG were similar in patients with CHD complicated with HFrEF. Compared with PCI, CABG had a lower incidence of MACE, MI, HF, and revascularization, and a higher incidence of stroke or TIA.PMID:36856505 | DOI:10.1532/hsf.5169

Major risk-stratification models fail to predict outcomes in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing simultaneous hybrid procedure.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with multivessel disease undergoing a hybrid procedure, the SYNTAX score, EuroSCORE, SinoSCORE and GRC were inaccurate in predicting MACCE. Modifying risk-stratification models to improve the predictive value for a hybrid procedure is needed. PMID: 23422106 [PubMed - in process]

Health related quality of life in coronary patients and its association with their cardiovascular risk profile: Results from the EUROASPIRE III survey
Conclusion: Overall, a large heterogeneity was observed in HRQoL values between countries and patient groups. There seems to be a significant association between quality of life and patient characteristics with lifestyle risk factors as important determinants of HRQoL.

Abstract 102: Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in U.S. Coronary Heart Disease and Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: CHD and ACS are resource intensive diseases in the first year after index episode, with most costs related to hospitalizations. Outpatient cardiovascular drug costs make up a small proportion of the total costs.

Long-term follow-up results in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents: results from a single high-volume PCI centre
Conclusions PCI patients with STEMI had the worst hospital and long-term prognosis. The mortality rate after hospital increased markedly in patients with NSTE-ACS. SESs seem to be more effective than PESs.

Optimal medical therapy for coronary artery disease in 2011 - perspectives from the STICH Trial.
Authors: Whayne TF, Saha SP, Quevedo K, Mukherjee D Abstract Medical, percutaneous interventional, and surgical treatments for the management of coronary heart disease have progressed markedly during the past decade. There is evidence to suggest that for patients with stable coronary heart disease optimal medical therapy is equal in effectiveness for lowering the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke, as are revascularization procedures, such as coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention. The landmark Surgical Treatment for Is...

Predictors of Long-term Clinical Endpoints in Patients With Refractory Angina Coronary Heart Disease
Conclusions Clinically stable patients with RA who are medically managed have a modest mortality, but a high incidence of hospitalization and resource use over 3 years. These findings point to the need for novel therapies aimed at symptom mitigation in this population and their potential impact on health care utilization and costs.

Coronary heart disease in moyamoya disease: are they concomitant or coincidence?
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of symptomatic coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). This retrospective study evaluated 456 patients who received examination for MMD between 1995 and 2012. We reviewed the patients' medical history and coronary imaging, including conventional coronary angiography and coronary computed tomography angiogram (CTA). Among 456 patients with MMD, 21 (4.6%) patients were found to have symptomatic CHD. Ten patients were treated with coronary artery bypass graft or percutaneous coronary intervention for u...

Epidemiology of coronary artery bypass grafting at the Hospital Beneficência Portuguesa, São Paulo
Conclusion: The profile of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery in this study is similar to other published studies. Introdução: O conhecimento da prevalência dos fatores de risco e comorbidades, bem como a evolução com complicações nos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica, permite a comparação entre instituições e a comprovação de modificações no perfil de pacientes e na evolução pós-operatória ao longo do tempo. Objetivo: Conhecer o perfil (fatores de risco e comorbidades) e a evolução clínica (complicações) nos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de ...

Cardiovascular Disease Treatment Outcomes in Patients with Diabetes: Prediction Models Using Artificial Neural Networks and Logistic Regression
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is not only a major risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD); it also worsens CHD prognosis. The study's purpose was to investigate comparative effectiveness of two major CHD treatment procedures - coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) - in a population of CHD patients with DM (CHD-DM), using an artificial intelligence tool - artificial neural networks (ANN) - and a traditional multivariable logistic regression (MLR).

Endometriosis and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease Original Articles
Conclusions— In this large, prospective cohort, laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis was associated with increased risk of CHD. The association was strongest among young women. Hysterectomy/oophorectomy was associated with higher risk of CHD and could partially explain the association between endometriosis and CHD.

Abrogated cardio protective effect of ischemic preconditioning in hyperhomocysteinemia and hypertrophy
Publication date: Available online 1 July 2016 Source:Journal of Indian College of Cardiology Author(s): Shaiba Sana Qureshi, Ahsas Goyal Coronary heart disease has almost affected the mankind throughout history. During the last century, this disorder has emerged as a leading cause of death all over the world. Ischemia contributes in the development of myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral vascular insufficiency and hypovolemic shock. Reperfusion enhances the tissue injury produced by ischemia alone. Cellular damage after reperfusion of formerly viable ischemic tissues is known as ischemia–reperfusion (I–R) injury...

Progression of CAC Score and Risk of Incident CVD
Conclusions Although CAC progression was independently, but modestly, associated with CVD outcomes, this relationship was no longer significant when including follow-up CAC in the model. These findings imply that if serial CAC scanning is performed, the latest scan should be used for risk assessment, and in this context, CAC progression provides no additional prognostic information.
