TL;DR: The finding that early CTO PCI in the left anterior descending coronary artery subgroup was beneficial warrants further investigation, and the overall benefit for CTOPCI in terms of LVEF or LVEDV was not found in patients with STEMI and concurrent CTO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality in takotsubo syndrome is similar to mortality in myocardial infarction - A report from the SWEDEHEART registry.

TL;DR: The proportion of acute coronary syndromes attributed to takotsubo syndrome in Western Sweden has increased over the last decade, with similar early and late mortality as STEMI and NSTEMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for obesity paradox in patients with acute coronary syndromes: a report from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry.
Oskar Angerås,Per Albertsson,Kristjan Karason,Truls Råmunddal,Göran Matejka,Stefan James,Bo Lagerqvist,Anders Rosengren,Elmir Omerovic +8 more
TL;DR: In patients with significant CAD undergoing coronary artery by-pass grafting and in patients with no significant CAD, there was no difference in mortality risk in the overweight groups compared with the normal weight group, strengthening the concept of the obesity paradox substantially.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The rate of the composite of death from any cause, myocardial infarction, or major bleeding was not lower among those who received bivalirudin than among thosewho received heparin monotherapy, and the results were consistent between patients with STEMI and those with NSTEMI and across other major subgroups.

Chronic Total Occlusions in Sweden – A Report from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR)
Truls Råmunddal,Loes P. Hoebers,José P.S. Henriques,Christian Dworeck,Oskar Angerås,Jacob Odenstedt,Dan Ioanes,Göran K. Olivecrona,Jan Harnek,Ulf Jensen,Mikael Aasa,Risto Jussila,Stefan James,Bo Lagerqvist,Göran Matejka,Per Albertsson,Elmir Omerovic +16 more
TL;DR: CTO is a common finding in Swedish patients undergoing coronary angiography but the number of CTO procedures in Sweden is low, and patients with CTO are a high-risk subgroup of patients with coronary artery disease.
