Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of enalapril versus nifedipine to decrease left ventricular hypertrophy in systemic hypertension (the PRESERVE trial)

TL;DR: The PRESERVE study is designed to provide a definitive test of the ability of enalapril to achieve greater left ventricular (LV) mass reduction than nifedipine GITs by a degree that would be prognostically meaningful on a population basis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic assessment of estimated glomerular filtration rate by the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation in comparison with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation

TL;DR: The CKD-EPI equation provides more accurate risk stratification than the MDRD Study equation in patients at high risk for CV disease, including identification of increased risk at mildly decreased eGFR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ventricular enlargement and remodeling following acute myocardial infarction: mechanisms and management.

TL;DR: Rational management to prevent severe myocardial ischemia includes restoration of the patency of the occluded vessel and ventricular unloading.
