William E. Boden,Koon K. Teo,Pamela M. Hartigan,David J. Maron,William J. Kostuk,Merril L. Knudtson,Marcin Dada,Paul Casperson,Crystal L. Harris,Bernard R. Chaitman,Leslee J. Shaw,Gilbert Gosselin,Shah Nawaz,Lawrence M. Title,Gerald T. Gau,Alvin Blaustein,David C. Booth,Eric R. Bates,John A. Spertus,Daniel S. Berman,William S. Weintraub +20 more
TL;DR: As an initial management strategy in patients with stable coronary artery disease, PCI did not reduce the risk of death, myocardial infarction, or other major cardiovascular events when added to optimal medical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of early invasive and conservative strategies in patients with unstable coronary syndromes treated with the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor tirofiban.
Christopher P. Cannon,William S. Weintraub,Laura A. Demopoulos,Ralph Vicari,Martin J. Frey,Nasser Lakkis,Franz-Josef Neumann,Debbie H. Robertson,Paul DeLucca,Peter M. DiBattiste,C. Michael Gibson,Eugene Braunwald +11 more
TL;DR: In patients with unstable angina and myocardial infarction without ST-segment elevation who were treated with the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor tirofiban, the use of an early invasive strategy significantly reduced the incidence of major cardiac events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beneficial effects of cholesterol-lowering therapy on the coronary endothelium in patients with coronary artery disease.
Charles B. Treasure,J L Klein,William S. Weintraub,J. D. Talley,M. E. Stillabower,Andrzej S. Kosinski,Jian Zhang,Stephen J. Boccuzzi,J. C. Cedarholm,Robert Alexander +9 more
TL;DR: Cholesterol lowering with lovastatin significantly improved endothelium-mediated responses in the coronary arteries of patients with atherosclerosis, and improvement in the local regulation of coronary arterial tone could potentially relieve ischemic symptoms and signal the stabilization of the atherosclerotic plaque.
Journal ArticleDOI
