Guideline-Based Statin Eligibility, Coronary Artery Calcification, and Cardiovascular Events
Amit Pursnani,Amit Pursnani,Joseph M. Massaro,Joseph M. Massaro,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Udo Hoffmann +8 more
TL;DR: In this community-based primary prevention cohort, the ACC/AHA guidelines for determining statin eligibility, compared with the ATP III, were associated with greater accuracy and efficiency in identifying increased risk of incident CVD and subclinical coronary artery disease, particularly in intermediate-risk participants.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: NAFLD is associated with advanced high-risk coronary plaque, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and the extent and severity of coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A step-by-step description of a contemporary transatrial TMVR technique using balloon-expandable aortic transcatheter heart valves that represents a useful technique for the treatment of mitral valve disease in the setting of severe annular calcification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A computed tomography (CT)-based scoring system for grading mitral annular calcification (MAC) severity and potentially aid in predicting valve embolization during transcatheter mitral valve (MV) replacement using balloon-expandable aortictranscatheter heart valves is established.
Journal ArticleDOI
