Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of body mass index to mortality after development of heart failure due to acute coronary syndrome.

TL;DR: A U-shaped relation between mortality and BMI in the setting of new-onset HF after ACS is suggested, although overweight BMI approached statistical significance for lower risk for the combined outcome.
Journal Article

Frequency of negative coronary arteriographic findings in patients with chest pain is related to community practice patterns.

TL;DR: The frequency of finding no significant coronary disease by arteriographic findings in patients with chest pain is similar in southeastern Michigan hospitals and comparable to an established external database.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence-Based Medical Therapy of Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes

TL;DR: Currently available medical therapies for acute coronary syndromes are reviewed and evidence-based rationale for current pharmacologic therapies is provided and it is suggested that stringent glycemic control may result in benefits in both morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Value of Admission Fasting Glucose Levels in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the admission fasting glucose levels among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) from the University of Michigan ACS registry and grouped the glucose levels into three categories (≥70 to <70), and <70 to ≥70.
Journal ArticleDOI

Existence of abdominal aortic aneurysms in patients with thoracic aortic dissections.

TL;DR: It is documented that patients with thoracic aortic dissections are at risk to harbor or develop a later AAA, and this finding supports the tenet that abdominal CTs or ultrasound scanning should be mandatory in the follow-up of patients with known thoraco-aortic dissection.
