Coronary artery bypass grafting reduces rate of myocardial infarctions compared to percutaneous coronary intervention for left main coronary artery disease
1. Although there was no significant difference seen in 5-year all-cause death between PCI and CABG patients, a Bayesian analysis ...
Quantitative flow ratio-guided coronary intervention reduces the rate of major cardiac events compared to visual angiography
1. Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) allowed for better periprocedural assessment of stenoses, leading to a lower amount of unnecessary stenting ...

Fixed-dose combination treatment with aspirin may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
1. Risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and revascularization was lower in the fixed-dose combination pill group compared to ...
COVID-19 infection associated with increased risk for acute myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke

Early initiation of rhythm-control for atrial fibrillation associated with lower risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes
1. Compared to patients only receiving rate-control treatment, those who received rhythm-control treatment within one year of diagnosis of atrial ...
Novel cardiovascular biomarkers associated with modest discrimination in early, noninvasive diagnosis of type 2 myocardial infarction
1. Biomarkers quantifying endothelial dysfunction, microvascular dysfunction, and/or hemodynamic stress provided modest diagnostic performance in the early discrimination of type ...
ST-elevation myocardial infarctions in the absence of standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors may have worse outcomes
