Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of immediate coronary angioplasty with intravenous streptokinase in acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Immediate angioplasty after acute myocardial infarction was associated with a higher rate of patency of the infarct-related artery, a less severe residual stenotic lesion, better left ventricular function, and less recurrentMyocardial ischemia andinfarction than was intravenous streptokinase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of restenosis after successful coronary angioplasty: a time-related phenomenon. A quantitative angiographic study in 342 consecutive patients at 1, 2, 3, and 4 months.

TL;DR: The incidence of restenosis proved to be progressive to at least the third month for all except NHLBI criterion II, and the lack of overlap between the different restenotic criteria applied affirms the arbitrary nature of angiographic definitions currently in use.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of short-, medium-, and long-term variations in arterial dimensions from computer-assisted quantitation of coronary cineangiograms.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the biological variations are a source of major concern and that further attempts toward standardization of the angiographic procedure are seriously needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Lipid Lowering by Pravastatin on Progression and Regression of Coronary Artery Disease in Symptomatic Men With Normal to Moderately Elevated Serum Cholesterol Levels The Regression Growth Evaluation Statin Study (REGRESS)

TL;DR: In symptomatic men with significant coronary atherosclerosis and normal to moderately elevated serum cholesterol, less progression of coronary atheosclerosis and fewer new cardiovascular events were observed in the group of patients treated with pravastatin than in the placebo group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diet, lipoproteins, and the progression of coronary atherosclerosis. The Leiden Intervention Trial.

TL;DR: Investigation of the relation between diet, serum lipoproteins, and the progression of coronary lesions in 39 patients with stable angina pectoris found dietary changes were associated with a significant increase in linoleic acid content of cholesteryl esters and a significant lowering of body weight, systolic blood pressure, serum total cholesterol, andThe ratio of total to high-density lipoprotein (total/HDL) cholesterol.
