TL;DR: Although the rate of in‐hospital ischemic events after myocardial infarction has dramatically decreased, long‐term residual risk may remain substantial and most of the information on current residual risk is derived from highly selected randomized trials.

TL;DR: In patients surviving hospitalization for HF, WRF was associated with increased long-term mortality and rehospitalization, particularly if renal function did not recover by the time of discharge.

TL;DR: Patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) are at high risk of ischemic events, but data about predictors of this risk are limited.

TL;DR: Age, increased BMI, presence of comorbidities, poor medication adherence and inadequately controlled BP were independent predictors of elevated UACR after controlling for potential confounders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of worsening renal function (WRF) during hospitalization on health care resource use in patients with heart failure was assessed. But, the authors did not identify the most common cause of worsening kidney function during hospitalizations.
