SYNTAX and Coronary Artery Calcium Score Predict Atherosclerotic Plaque Formation in the Ascending Aorta
CONCLUSIONS: CAC score and ACS are strongly correlated with the complexity of coronary arteries in CABG patients. The total CAC score (≥ 400 AU) was independently associated with the degree of SS (>37). To prevent MACCE and mortality in CABG patients, we suggest the measurement of CAC score accompanied with ACS using MDCT as a non-invasive method. Highlight points: • Atherosclerotic plaque formation in aorta and coronary arteries are the main risk factors for stroke and infarction in CABG operations. •SYNTAX score value and aortic atherosclerosis levels are directly correlated. •SYNTAX score may predict the comp...

Platelet function, coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with previous coronary and cerebrovascular ischemic events
CONCLUSION: Platelet aggregability, coagulation and endogenous fibrinolysis showed similar results among CAD patients with and without previous IS/TIA. Therefore, it remains necessary to identify other targets to explain the higher bleeding risk presented by these patients.

Does Mitral Valve Calcium In Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Replacement Portend Worse Survival?
ConclusionsConservative approach to treat MAC achieves satisfactory results. Patients with MAC have significant comorbidities contributing to a worse survival though MAC in itself is not a risk factor for mortality.

Add-On Antihypertensive Medications to Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Blockers in Diabetes: A Comparative Effectiveness Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with thiazide diuretics, calcium channel blockers were associated with a lower risk of significant kidney events and a similar risk of cardiovascular events.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in bicuspid anatomy: procedural results with two different types of valves.
CONCLUSIONS: Postprocedural aortic regurgitation is still an issue in BAV undergone TAVI when: 1) the annulus is big; 2) when we are using self-expandable valves; and 3) in type 0 valves. Lotus valve, with a higher radial force put in a small annuls seems associated to better procedural outcomes in this subset of patients. PMID: 29512361 [PubMed - in process]

Aortic Root Calcification Score as an Independent Factor for Predicting Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Familial Hypercholesterolemia.
CONCLUSIONS: ARC was significantly associated with future MACE in Japanese patients with heterozygous FH. ARC may start to develop, on average, at 17.4 and 19.7 years of age in males and females, respectively, with heterozygous FH. PMID: 29321389 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
