This secondary analysis of the HOST-EXAM randomized clinical trial evaluates clopidogrel vs aspirin for long-term maintenance after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with diabetes.

While cardiac sphericity was the focus of Stanford Medicine-led research, the possibility of data science expanding the reach of biomedical science was its true core, researchers say.

This economic evaluation uses cost-minimization analysis to estimate the cost savings of paramedic risk stratification of adult acute chest pain and point-of-care troponin testing.

NEW ORLEANS — In a phase 2 trial, an oral PCSK9 inhibitor lowered LDL about the same amount observed with injectable PCSK9 inhibitors for 8 weeks, researchers reported at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session.For the phase 2b, randomized, … Continue reading

Prior studies show a significant increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit following sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) initiation, being useful for identifying those at lower risk of adverse clinical events.1 In the DAPA-VO2 randomized clinical trial, we found that dapagliflozin significantly … Continue reading

NEW ORLEANS — In a new study, use of a wrist-worn sensor was clinically feasible for rapid, bloodless prediction of elevated troponin I in patients with suspected MI, researchers reported at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session.“Assessing high-sensitivity cardiac … Continue reading

This randomized equivalence and noninferiority trial compares safety and efficacy of enoxaparin vs rivaroxaban 2.5 or 5 mg for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the acute phase.

AF self-screening in general practice waiting rooms is feasible, and could reduce the number of AF-related strokes

This cohort study performs a post hoc analysis of data for US and Australian participants in the Aspirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) clinical trial to determine the association between level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increased fracture … Continue reading

Radiation oncologists rarely, if ever, treat the heart. In fact, they try to avoid exposing the heart to x-ray beams at all costs. But a new treatment performed at Orlando Health, using precise radiation therapy, has successfully given time and … Continue reading

The standard risk calculator requires nine variables, and not all of them are always available in the EHR. The proposed CXR model has performed similarly to the standard model.

In patients with venous outflow obstruction, a self-expanding stent was associated with improvements in patency, quality of life and functional outcomes at 36 months, according to new data from the ABRE study. As Healio previously reported, the stent (Abre, Medtronic) … Continue reading

True vertigo is the false perception (illusion) of movement, usually rotational, of a patient of his or her surroundings. This is often accompanied by vomiting, sweating, and pallor...
