Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of body mass index on mortality and bleeding among patients with or at high-risk of atherothrombotic disease
Koon Hou Mak,Deepak L. Bhatt,Mingyuan Shao,Steven M. Haffner,Christian W. Hamm,Graeme J. Hankey,S. Claiborne Johnston,Gilles Montalescot,Philippe Gabriel Steg,Steven R. Steinhubl,Keith A.A. Fox,Eric J. Topol +11 more
TL;DR: Adverse cardiovascular events and bleeding complications occurred more frequently among individuals with or at-risk for atherothrombotic disease and low BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global view of atherothrombosis:baseline characteristics in the Clopidogrel for High Atherothrombotic Risk and Ischemic Stabilization, Management, and Avoidance (CHARISMA) trial
Deepak L. Bhatt,Keith A.A. Fox,Werner Hacke,Peter B. Berger,Henry R. Black,William E. Boden,Patrice Cacoub,Eric A. Cohen,Mark A. Creager,J. Donald Easton,Marcus Flather,Steven M. Haffner,Christian W.

TL;DR: The CHARISMA trial will further characterize atherothrombosis and provide insight into the role of dual antiplatelet therapy in improving outcomes in patients with multiple risk factors or established vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefit of Early Sustained Reperfusion in Patients With Prior Myocardial Infarction (The GUSTO-I Trial)
David B. Brieger,Koon Hou Mak,Harvey D. White,Neal S. Kleiman,David P. Miller,Alec Vahanian,Allan M. Ross,Robert M. Califf,Eric J. Topol +8 more
TL;DR: Patients with healed myocardial infarction should be educated to ensure early hospital admission if they develop symptoms suggestive of acute infarctions, and upon hospital arrival should be promptly triaged to receive reperfusion therapy with accelerated alteplase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absence of increased in-hospital complications with reused balloon catheters
Koon Hou Mak,Mark J. Eisenberg,Sylvain Plante,Bradley H. Strauss,Kristopher L. Arheart,Eric J. Topol +5 more
TL;DR: A reanalysis of data from a prospective Canadian study suggests that catheter reuse is not associated with an increased rate of in-hospital complications, but these results should be replicated in clinical trials beforeCatheter reuse becomes routinely established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cost-efficacy modeling of catheter reuse for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Koon Hou Mak,Mark J. Eisenberg,David S. Eccleston,Kimberly Brown,Stephen G. Ellis,Eric J. Topol +5 more
TL;DR: Although reusing coronary angioplasty catheters may reduce total in-hospital costs, even a modest increase in complications requiring urgent revascularization may offset any potential savings.
