Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Concentrations of LDL-C achieved with gemfibrozil treatment predicted a significant reduction in CHD events in patients with low HDL-C levels, however, the change in HDL- C levels only partially explained the beneficial effect of gem fibroZil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes in patients with acute non-Q-wave myocardial infarction randomly assigned to an invasive as compared with a conservative management strategy. Veterans Affairs Non-Q-Wave Infarction Strategies in Hospital (VANQWISH) Trial Investigators

TL;DR: Patients assigned to the invasive strategy had worse clinical outcomes during the first year of follow-up, and patients assigned to a conservative strategy had better clinical outcomes During an average follow- up of 23 months.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Overall, no sex differences in in-hospital mortality rates after AMI were observed after multivariable adjustment, however, women with STEMI had higher adjusted mortality rates than men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes in Patients with Acute Non-Q-Wave Myocardial Infarction Randomly Assigned to an Invasive as Compared with a Conservative Management Strategy
William E. Boden,Robert A. OʼROURKE,Michael H. Crawford,Alvin Blaustein,Prakash Deedwania,Robert G. Zoble,Laura F. Wexler,Robert E. Kleiger,Carl J. Pepine,David Ferry,Bruce K. Chow +10 more
TL;DR: Most patients with non-Q-wave myocardial infarction do not benefit from routine, early invasive management consisting of coronary angiography and revascularization, and a conservative, ischemia-guided initial approach is both safe and effective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Central sleep apnea, right ventricular dysfunction, and low diastolic blood pressure are predictors of mortality in systolic heart failure
TL;DR: In patients with syStolic HF, CSA, severe right ventricular systolic dysfunction, and low diastolic blood pressure might have an adverse effect on survival.
