Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Pravastatin on Coronary Events after Myocardial Infarction in Patients with Average Cholesterol Levels
Frank M. Sacks,Marc A. Pfeffer,Lemuel A. Moyé,Jean L. Rouleau,John D. Rutherford,Thomas G. Cole,Lisa E. Brown,J. W. Warnica,J. M. O. Arnold,Chuan Chuan C Wun,Barry R. Davis,Eugene Braunwald +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the benefit of cholesterol-lowering therapy extends to the majority of patients with coronary disease who have average cholesterol levels and was also greater in patients with higher pretreatment levels of LDL cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of captopril on mortality and morbidity in patients with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction. results of the survival and ventricular enlargement trial
Marc A. Pfeffer,Eugene Braunwald,Lemuel A. Moyé,Lofty L. Basta,Edward J. Brown,Thomas E. Cuddy,Barry R. Davis,Edward M. Geltman,Steven Goldman,Greg C. Flaker,Marc Klein,Gervasio A. Lamas,Milton Packer,Jacques R. Rouleau,Jean L. Rouleau,John D. Rutherford,John H. Wertheimer,C. Morton Hawkins +17 more
TL;DR: In patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction, long-term administration of captopril was associated with an improvement in survival and reduced morbidity and mortality due to major cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensive versus moderate lipid lowering with statins after acute coronary syndromes.
Christopher P. Cannon,Eugene Braunwald,Carolyn H. McCabe,Daniel J. Rader,Jean L. Rouleau,Rene Belder,Steven V. Joyal,Karen A. Hill,Marc A. Pfeffer,Allan M. Skene +9 more
TL;DR: Among patients who have recently had an acute coronary syndrome, an intensive lipid-lowering statin regimen provides greater protection against death or major cardiovascular events than does a standard regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kidney disease as a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease: a statement from the American Heart Association Councils on Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease, High Blood Pressure Research, Clinical Cardiology, and Epidemiology and Prevention.
Mark J. Sarnak,Andrew S. Levey,Anton C. Schoolwerth,Josef Coresh,Bruce F. Culleton,L. Lee Hamm,Peter A. McCullough,Bertram L. Kasiske,Ellie Kelepouris,Michael J. Klag,Patrick S. Parfrey,Marc A. Pfeffer,Leopoldo Raij,David J. Spinosa,Peter W.F. Wilson +14 more
TL;DR: There was a high prevalence of CVD in CKD and that mortality due to CVD was 10 to 30 times higher in dialysis patients than in the general population, and the task force recommended that patients with CKD be considered in the “highest risk group” for subsequent CVD events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction. Experimental observations and clinical implications.
Marc A. Pfeffer,Eugene Braunwald +1 more
TL;DR: The extent of ventricular enlargement after infarction is related to the magnitude of the initial damage to the myocardium and, although an increase in cavity size tends to restore stroke volume despite a persistently depressed ejection fraction, ventricular dilation has been associated with a reduction in survival.
