The Role of Hemodynamic Support in High-risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Author(s): Charles Simonton , Craig Thompson , Jason R Wollmuth , et al Added: 3 years ago
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, despite advances in medical and preventive therapy. It is estimated that 18.2 million adults in the US have CAD, with 720,000 Americans projected to have a first hospitalization for MI or CAD death this year.1 Treatment of patients with symptomatic CAD includes guideline-directed medical therapy and coronary… View more

Heart failure remains the final common pathway of all forms of heart disease. Currently, more than 20 million patients suffer with heart failure in the US and Europe combined.1 Over the past two decades, advances in medical therapeutics have made inroads in reducing mortality associated with early- and mid-stage heart failure. Unfortunately, once patients progress to advanced heart failure, i.e… View more

Treatment for blood clots and their life-threatening sequelae has expanded significantly over the past 50 years. Thrombolytic therapy has gained widespread acceptance and use. Advances in technology have led to experiments with catheter-directed thrombolytic therapy in combination with other physical modality delivery systems, such as ultrasound, to improve the efficacy of thrombolytic therapy… View more

SUGAR: Amphilimus-eluting Stents VS Zotarolimus-eluting Stents in Patients With DB
Author(s): Rafael Romaguera Added: 2 years ago
In this short interview, Dr Rafael Romaguera (University of Barcelona, SP) discusses the findings from the SUGAR trial.This randomized head-to-head trial aimed to compare Cre8 EVO stents to a contemporary drug-eluting stent (DES) in patients with diabetes (DM) and coronary artery disease. The trial, first presented at TCT 2021, demonstrated that Cre8 EVO stents were non-inferior to Resolute Onyx… View more

Aspirin and Statins to Decrease Risks of Cardiovascular Disease - The Need for Wider Utilization
Author(s): Charles H Hennekens , Danielle Hollar , Arthur S Agatston Added: 3 years ago
While the proximate cause of virtually all acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) syndromes is thrombosis, the principal underlying cause is atherosclerosis. With respect to aspirin, in basic research this drug irrepressibly acetylates the active site of cyclo-oxygenase in platelets which inhibits thromboxane A2, a powerful promoter of aggregation. In randomized trials of secondary prevention and… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Jennifer Franke , Horst Sievert Added: 3 years ago
After having performed angioplasty in coronary and peripheral vascular disease with excellent results, carotid angioplasty was thought to be an opportunity to simplify the treatment of carotid stenosis. Up until then there was no apparent reason to protect patients against distal embolisation. With the development of carotid angioplasty and stenting, prevention of distal embolisation of… View more
