Journal ArticleDOI

Jones,Ronald M. Krauss,Lori Mosca,Ira S. Ockene,Richard C. Pasternak,Thomas A. Pearson,Marc A. Pfeffer,Rodman D. Starke,Kathryn A. Taubert +19 more
TL;DR: Since the original publication (in 1995) of the AHA consensus statement on secondary prevention, important evidence from clinical trials has emerged that further supports the merits of aggressive risk reduction therapies for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Journal Article

TL;DR: These results support the use of ACE inhibitors early in the treatment of acute MI, either to a wide range of patients or selectively in patients with anterior MI and in those at increased risk of death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical Significance of Mitral Regurgitation After Acute Myocardial Infarction
Gervasio A. Lamas,Gary F. Mitchell,Greg C. Flaker,Sidney C. Smith,Bernard J. Gersh,Lofty L. Basta,Lemuel A. Moyé,Eugene Braunwald,Marc A. Pfeffer +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed left ventriculograms for diastolic and systolic volumes, global left ventricular sphericity, extent of wall motion abnormality, and endocardial curvature and found that the presence of MR was related to the risk of developing a cardiovascular event during 3.5 years of follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular dysfunction and the risk of stroke after myocardial infarction
Evan Loh,Martin St. John Sutton,Chuan Chuan C Wun,Jean L. Rouleau,Greg C. Flaker,Stephen S. Gottlieb,Gervasio A. Lamas,Lemuel A. Moyé,Samuel Z. Goldhaber,Marc A. Pfeffer +9 more
TL;DR: During the five years after myocardial infarction, patients have a substantial risk of stroke and a decreased ejection fraction and older age are both independent predictors of an increased risk of Stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased pulse pressure and risk of heart failure in the elderly.
Claudia U. Chae,Marc A. Pfeffer,Robert J. Glynn,Gary F. Mitchell,James Taylor,Charles H. Hennekens +5 more
TL;DR: Pulse pressure, an easily measurable correlate of pulsatile hemodynamic load, is an independent predictor of risk of CHF in this elderly cohort of men and women.
