- Nonatherothrombotic Myocardial Infarction and SCAD in Younger Patients; the Benefit of Intensive Blood Pressure Control; Clopidogrel vs. Aspirin for Prevention of CV EventsIn this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the net benefit of intensive blood pressure control between fewer cardiovascular and more adverse events. He then explores non-atherothrombotic myocardial infarction events and spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in younger patients – something more commonly found among young women than young men.
- Do Anticoagulants Improve Survival in Patients With PAH?Based on data from the French Pulmonary Hypertension Registry, anticoagulant use for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was not associated with improved overall survival, according to a study published Sept. 22 in JACC. Study results were supported by an updated meta-analysis.
- Meta-Analysis: LAA Patency Associated With Increased Thromboembolic Riskleft atrial appendage (LAA) patency and peri-device leaks (PDLs) following left appendage occlusion (LAAO) detected by cardiac CT may be associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, indicating they could be clinically significant and should not be regarded as benign, according to a meta-analysis published Sept. 9 in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging.
- ACCEL Lite: The Role of Prevention During and After ReproductionIn this interview, Drs. Alison L. Bailey, MD, FACC and Ijeoma Isiadinso, MD, FACC discuss “The Role of Prevention During & After Reproductionâ€.
