Single Versus Multiarterial Grafts for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Analysis of Recent Data
ACCORDING TO THE Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 37.3 million people with diabetes mellitus (DM) in the United States.1 The main cause of death for patients with DM, types 1 and 2, is coronary artery disease (CAD), with a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of mortality for heart disease.2 The trend of increased morbidity and mortality in patients with DM is likely due to its more complex and diffuse CAD pattern.3 Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains the gold standard compared to percutaneous coronary intervention for CAD in patients with DM, with reductions in mortality, myocardial infarction, and ...

Stewardship for Science and Vaccines
Despite the success of vaccines in the modern world, including the rapid development of the COVID-19 vaccine, my state is now experiencing a large measles outbreak and a decline in immunization rates. At the turn of the century, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published “Ten Great Public Health Achievements” of the twentieth century in the United States.1 Vaccination topped the list, a national and global success story. Other achievements included improvements in motor-vehicle safety, control of infectious diseases, safer workplaces, decline in deaths from coro nary heart disease and stroke, safer and he...

The U.S. Still Doesn ’ t Have Good COVID-19 Data. Here ’ s Why That ’ s a Problem
Check the COVID-19 Data Tracker from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and you’ll get a rundown of the latest case numbers, hospitalizations, and deaths. Those categories might seem straightforward, but the data, say many experts, are telling us a lot less than we think they are.
That’s because it’s getting increasingly difficult to parse who is hospitalized or dies from COVID-19, and who is hospitalized or dies from another reason but with COVID-19. Across the U.S., “COVID-19 hospitalizations” represent all kinds of patients: those who need hospital-level care for sev...

FDA Experts Vote to Make All COVID-19 Vaccines and Boosters Bivalent
In a unanimous decision, all 21 voting members of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) vaccine committee recommended that the U.S. start using the same COVID-19 virus strain in all of the COVID-19 vaccines, including primary and booster doses.
That means the bivalent booster dose, which targets both the original SARS-CoV-2 strain and the Omicron BA.4/5 strains, would soon become the only type used for all primary shots and boosters.
The decision reflects a turning point in the pandemic. Until now, vaccine makers have tried to keep up with constantly evolving variants, but they’ve always been a few step...

What to Know if Your Doctor Put You on Statins to Lower Cholesterol
High cholesterol is a prime example of having too much of a good thing. Our bodies naturally make this substance in the liver and then transport it throughout the body for multiple functions, including hormone regulation, cell tissue regeneration, and vitamin absorption. When the system is working well, cholesterol can boost overall health. But when a certain type called low-density lipoprotein—LDL, sometimes dubbed the “bad” kind—is overproduced, not only does it block the “good” kind called high-density lipoprotein (HDL), but it can also begin to accumulate in the arteries and form thi...

The Contemporary Impact of Body Mass Index on Open Aortic Aneurysm Repair
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has deemed obesity a national epidemic and contributor to other leading causes of death including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Accordingly, the role of body mass index (BMI) and its impact on surgical outcomes has been a focus of persistent investigation. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of BMI on open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (oAAA) outcomes in contemporary practice.

The 5 Best Ways to Control High Cholesterol, According to People With the Condition
There are a variety of factors that influence cardiovascular risk—but cholesterol is one of the first things that doctors pay attention to.
Having high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is “definitely a variable we try to manage, because it’s been shown to be problematic for heart health,” says Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health.
Though it’s often called the “bad” kind of cholesterol, LDL cholesterol makes up most of your body’s cholesterol stores. That means it’s not a villain on its own, but when levels start creeping ...
