TL;DR: These studies show for the first time a technique capable of providing an accurate, noninvasive and rapid diagnosis of coronary heart disease that can be used clinically, either in population screening or to allow effective targeting of treatments such as statins.

TL;DR: VH-IVUS TCFA was associated with nonrestenotic and total MACE on individual plaque analysis, and noncalcified VHTCFA wasassociated with nonRestenoticand total Mace on whole-patient analysis, demonstrating that VH- IVUS can identify plaques at increased risk of subsequent events.

TL;DR: Remote IPC reduces ischemic chest discomfort during PCI, attenuates procedure-related cTnI release, and appears to reduce subsequent cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: Predicting angiographically defined advanced coronary artery disease with >90% accuracy and specificity using plasma samples from groups of male patients, classified by statin treatment, who had normal coronary arteries (NCAs) or CAD is determined.

TL;DR: Shorter LTL is associated with high-risk plaque morphology on virtual histology intravascular ultrasound but not total 3-vessel plaque burden, suggesting that telomere shortening promotes high- risk plaque subtypes by increasing proinflammatory activity.
