What Is the Optimal Blood Pressure in Patients After Acute Coronary Syndromes? Relationship of Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Events in the Pravastatin or Atorvastatin Evaluation and Infection Therapy–Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (PROVE IT-TIMI) 22 Trial

TL;DR: After acute coronary syndrome, a J- or U-shaped curve association existed between BP and the risk of future cardiovascular events, with lowest event rates in the BP range of approximately 130 to 140mm Hg systolic and 80 to 90 mm Hg diastolic and a relatively flat curve, which suggests that too low of a pressure may be dangerous.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipoprotein(a) for Risk Assessment in Patients With Established Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: Lp(a) is significantly associated with the risk of CV events in patients with established CAD; however, there exists marked heterogeneity across trials, and the prognostic value of Lp( a) in Patients with low cholesterol levels remains unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of Multiple Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Stress for Risk Prediction and Guiding Medical Therapy in Patients With Stable Coronary Disease

TL;DR: Elevated levels of novel biomarkers of cardiovascular stress may help identify patients who are at higher risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure and may be useful to select patients who derive significant benefit from angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of myocardial injury in patients with unstable angina using a novel nanoparticle cardiac troponin I assay: observations from the PROTECT-TIMI 30 Trial

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a pilot study to evaluate the clinical sensitivity of a new ultra-sensitive nanoparticle assay for cardiac troponin I (nano-cTnI) and found that myocardial injury was detectable in a substantial proportion of patients presently classified as having unstable angina.
