Leslee J. Shaw,Daniel S. Berman,David J. Maron,G.B. John Mancini,Sean W. Hayes,Pamela M. Hartigan,William S. Weintraub,Robert A. O'Rourke,Marcin Dada,John A. Spertus,Bernard R. Chaitman,John D.

McCallister,Koon K. Teo,William E. Boden +24 more
TL;DR: In COURAGE patients who underwent serial MPS, adding PCI to OMT resulted in greater reduction in ischemia compared with OMT alone, and the findings suggest a treatment target of ≥5% ischemic myocardium reduction with O MT with or without coronary revascularization.
Journal ArticleDOI

William S. Weintraub,John A. Spertus,Paul Kolm,David J. Maron,Zefeng Zhang,Claudine Jurkovitz,Wei Zhang,Pamela M. Hartigan,Cheryl Lewis,Emir Veledar,James M. Bowen,Sandra B. Dunbar,Christi Deaton,Stanley E. Kaufman,Robert A. O'Rourke,Ron Goeree,Paul G. Barnett,Koon K. Teo,William E. Boden +18 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Differences in Hospital Mortality After Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery Evidence for a Higher Mortality in Younger Women
TL;DR: Younger women undergoing CABG surgery are at a higher risk of in-hospital death than men, but this difference in risk decreases with advancing age, with particular focus on younger women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patient Literacy and Question-asking Behavior During the Medical Encounter: A Mixed-methods Analysis
TL;DR: Literacy level appears to be an important determinant of patients’ participation in the medical encounter, and low-literacy patients ask fewer questions about their medical care, and this may affect their ability to learn about theirmedical conditions and treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seema P. Kini,Laura K. DeLong,Emir Veledar,Anne Marie McKenzie-Brown,Michael K. Schaufele,Suephy C. Chen +5 more
