- 1From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedRapid diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is crucial. Current guidelines recommend measurement of troponin (Tn)--a marker of myocardial necrosis--in the detection of Ami. Commercially available assays for Tn...
- 2From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedKantor and colleagues from the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada have reported that outcomes for medically treated pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) have not changed over a 30-year period,...
- 3From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe STAT (Studying the Treatment of Acute Hypertension) registry contains data on the management and outcomes of patients admitted to US hospitals with acute severe hypertension. An analysis of these data by Szczech and...
- 4From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe ability to identify which patients with atherosclerosis are at higher risk of future cardiovascular events is important not only for decisions about medical therapy, but also for decisions about surgical or...
- 5From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedIntravenous alteplase (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) is restricted for use within 3 h from stroke onset by marketing authorizations. some patients are treated beyond this approved time frame, however, even...
- 6From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedRandomized controlled trials of fibrate therapy have yielded variable results. Although these agonists of peroxisome proliferator receptor alpha (PPAR-a) are known to reduce triglyceride levels and increase...
- 7From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedPerhaps one of the most important questions you can ask your patients right now is whether they are regular passive smokers. We routinely document the smoking behavior of patients as being 'current', 'previous', or...
- 8From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe optimal reperfusion strategy for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who are admitted to community hospitals without a catheterization laboratory is still a matter of debate. The long-term...
- 9From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedA wide range of interindividual variability in the measured and clinical effects of antiplatelet drugs exists. As patients with less platelet inhibition consistently have increased rates of adverse cardiovascular...
- 10From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedEndovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms has been associated with lower short-term mortality than open surgical repair. The results of multicenter trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine now...
- 11From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedMany patients referred for implantation of a cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) also receive antiplatelet or anticoagulation therapy. To investigate the influence of these therapies on...
- 12From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAdmissions for heart failure are associated with an unacceptably high rate of early readmission and mortality. An early postdischarge visit with targeted interventions in high-risk patients may decrease this high event...
- 13From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedSimple strategies for primary prevention of atrial fibrillation (AF) have not been well described. In a new analysis involving participants of the women's Health study, Usha Tedrow and colleagues show that elevated BMI...
- 14From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe incidence and prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are increasing worldwide. AF is of public health importance because it accounts for substantial morbidity, mortality, and health-care costs. AF may be transient...
- 15From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAlthough the majority of implanted valves used in aortic valve surgery are tissue valves (bioprostheses), the mechanisms by which they interact with the host are not well understood. a new study by Flameng et al. gives...
- 16From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedDespite the existence of established, effective therapies for hypertension, new methods of blood pressure and cardiovascular risk reduction are still needed. Novel approaches are targeted towards treating resistant...
- 17From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObesity is a major health challenge facing the modern world. Some evidence points to obesity itself as the main driver of premature mortality. We propose that this view is oversimplified. For example, high levels of...
- 18From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedArterial aging can be attributed to two different pathophysiological changes--increase in arterial stiffness and disturbed wave reflections. The capacity of the aorta to absorb the force exerted by the left ventricular...
- 19From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe effectiveness of existing strategies for management of atrial fibrillation is limited, which has stimulated research into novel therapeutic approaches. a new meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of...
- 20From: Nature Reviews Cardiology. (Vol. 7, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedHeart-transplant recipients typically undergo multiple biopsies in the first year following transplantation. These invasive procedures enable histological evaluation to monitor for rejection, but are associated with...
