Influence of the internal-mammary-artery graft on 10-year survival and other cardiac events.
Floyd D. Loop,Bruce W. Lytle,Delos M. Cosgrove,Robert W. Stewart,Marlene Goormastic,G W Williams,Leonard A.R. Golding,Carl C. Gill,Peter C. Taylor,W C Sheldon +9 more
TL;DR: It was found that patients who had only vein grafts had a 1.61 times greater risk of death throughout the 10 years, as compared with those who received an internal-mammary-artery graft.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of very high-intensity statin therapy on regression of coronary atherosclerosis: the ASTEROID trial.
Steven E. Nissen,Stephen J. Nicholls,Ilke Sipahi,Peter Libby,Joel S. Raichlen,Christie M. Ballantyne,Jean Davignon,Raimund Erbel,Jean Charles Fruchart,Jean-Claude Tardif,Paul Schoenhagen,Tim Crowe,Valerie A. Cain,Kathy Wolski,Marlene Goormastic,E. Murat Tuzcu +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of rosuvastatin on coronary atheroma burden using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging. And they found that very intensive statin therapy could regress coronary atherosclerosis as determined by IVUS imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic Value of Myeloperoxidase in Patients with Chest Pain
Marie Luise Brennan,Marc S. Penn,Frederick Van Lente,Vijay Nambi,Mehdi H. Shishehbor,Ronnier J. Aviles,Marlene Goormastic,Michael Pepoy,Ellen McErlean,Eric J. Topol,Steven E. Nissen,Stanley L. Hazen +11 more
TL;DR: Myeloperoxidase levels, in contrast to troponin T, creatine kinase MB isoform, and C-reactive protein levels, identified patients at risk for cardiac events in the absence of myocardial necrosis, highlighting its potential usefulness for risk stratification among patients who present with chest pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sternal wound complications after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting: Early and late mortality, morbidity, and cost of care
Floyd D. Loop,Bruce W. Lytle,Delos M. Cosgrove,Saade S. Mahfood,Martin C. McHenry,Marlene Goormastic,Robert W. Stewart,Leonard A.R. Golding,Paul C. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: Of 6,504 consecutive patients who underwent isolated coronary bypass grafting in 1985 to 1987, 72 (1.1%) patients experienced sternal wound complications, and ten patients with wound complications died of multi-system failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apolipoprotein A-I is a selective target for myeloperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation and functional impairment in subjects with cardiovascular disease
Lemin Zheng,Benedicta Nagella Nukuna,Marie Luise Brennan,Mingjiang Sun,Marlene Goormastic,Megan Settle,Dave Schmitt,Xiaoming Fu,Leonor Thomson,Paul L. Fox,Harry Ischiropoulos,Jonathan D. Smith,Michael Kinter,Stanley L. Hazen +13 more
TL;DR: The present results provide the first direct evidence for apoA-I as a selective target forMPO-catalyzed oxidative modification in human atheroma and suggest a potential mechanism for MPO-dependent generation of a proatherogenic dysfunctional form of HDL in vivo.
