Clinical Characteristics, Management, and Outcomes of Suspected Poststroke Acute Coronary Syndrome.
Conclusion: Age and troponin level appear to play a role in the current clinical decision making for patient with suspected poststroke ACS. Troponin level appears to significantly correlate with 1-year all-cause mortality. In the management of poststroke acute coronary syndrome, optimal medical therapy had similar inpatient and all-cause mortality compared to PCI and/or CABG. PMID: 29130017 [PubMed]

Management and clinical outcome of stable coronary artery disease in Austria : Results from 5  years of the CLARIFY registry.
CONCLUSION: Characteristics of Austrian outpatients with stable CAD corresponded to those of patients with CAD in other developed countries. Medical treatments following the recommendations of the European guidelines were prescribed in the majority of patients; however, recommended goals of life style interventions including a heart rate less than 60 bpm and general risk factor management were not achieved by a high proportion of patients. Heart rate control and life style changes remain unmet needs of cardiovascular care in Austria. PMID: 28913755 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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...

Characteristics, management and 5 years outcomes of patients with high risk, stable multivessel coronary heart disease.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that patients withadvanced multivessel coronary artery disease who are qualified forcomplete surgical revascularization benefit more than those who were not qualified for surgery and were treated withmedical therapy supplemented in selected cases with incomplete percutaneous revascularization in regard to several primary end points at 5-year follow-up.
