The Cardiovascular Disease Continuum Validated: Clinical Evidence of Improved Patient Outcomes Part I: Pathophysiology and Clinical Trial Evidence (Risk Factors Through Stable Coronary Artery Disease)

TL;DR: A critical and comprehensive update of the current evidence for a CVD continuum based on the results of pathophysiological studies and the outcome of a broad range of clinical trials that have been performed in the past 15 years is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principal results of the controlled onset verapamil investigation of cardiovascular end points (CONVINCE) trial

TL;DR: The CONVINCE trial did not demonstrate equivalence of a COER verapamil-based antihypertensive regimen compared with a regimen beginning with a diuretic or beta-blocker, and data indicate that the effectiveness of calcium-channel therapy in reducing cardiovascular disease is similar but not better than diuresis treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prehypertension and Cardiovascular Disease Risk in the Women’s Health Initiative

TL;DR: Prehypertension was associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death in white and nonwhite postmenopausal women, and risk factor clustering was conspicuous, emphasizing the need for trials evaluating the efficacy of global cardiovascular risk reduction through primordial prevention.
