Prediction of Coronary Artery Disease Severity by Using CHA2DS2-VASC-HSF Score in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction
In this study mean age of study population was 51.8±9.8, male patients were predominant (79.0%). Among the studied patients, highest percentage had history of smoking followed by hypertension, diabetes mellitus and family history of CAD in Group I patients. It was found that DM and family history of CAD and history of stroke/TIA were significantly higher in Group I than Group II. An increasing trend of SYNTAX score was observed according to the CHA₂DS₂-VASc-HSF score. SYNTAX score was significantly higher in CHA2DS2-VASc-HSF score ≥4 than CHA₂DS₂-VASc-HSF score <4 (26.3±6.3 vs. 12.1±7.7, p<0.001). Patien...

Plasma Metal Concentrations and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Chinese Adults: The Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort
Conclusions: Our study suggested that incident CHD was positively associated with plasma levels of titanium and arsenic, and inversely associated with selenium. Additional research is needed to confirm these findings in other populations. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1521 Received: 22 December 2016 Revised: 17 September 2017 Accepted: 19 September 2017 Published: 19 October 2017 Address correspondence to T.
