Journal ArticleDOI
Health Status Identifies Heart Failure Outpatients at Risk for Hospitalization or Death
Paul A. Heidenreich,John A. Spertus,Philip G. Jones,William S. Weintraub,John S. Rumsfeld,Saif S. Rathore,Eric D. Peterson,Frederick A. Masoudi,Harlan M. Krumholz,Edward P. Havranek,Mark W. Conard,Randall E. Williams +11 more
TL;DR: A low KCCQ score is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in outpatients with heart failure, and remained significantly associated with survival free of HF hospitalization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of Coronary Bypass Surgery Versus Coronary Angioplasty in Diabetic Patients With Multivessel Coronary Artery Disease
William S. Weintraub,Bernardo Stein,Andrzej S. Kosinski,John S. Douglas,Ziyad M.B. Ghazzal,Ellis L. Jones,Douglas C. Morris,Robert A. Guyton,Joseph M. Craver,Spencer B. King +9 more
TL;DR: This study reveals a high incidence of events in diabetic patients and raises further questions about angioplasty in insulin-requiring diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary sodium and health: more than just blood pressure.
TL;DR: Pre-clinical and clinical data support that even in the absence of an increase in BP, excess dietary sodium can adversely affect target organs, including the blood vessels, heart, kidneys, and brain, and information and strategies for reducing dietary sodium are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence, predictors, and in-hospital outcomes of non-infarct artery intervention during primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry).
Matthew A. Cavender,Sarah Milford-Beland,Matthew T. Roe,Eric D. Peterson,William S. Weintraub,Sunil V. Rao +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that performing multivessel PCI during primary PCI for STEMI does not improve short-term survival even for patients with cardiogenic shock, and the need for definitive studies to evaluate the utility of noninfarct-related artery PCI among patients with STEMI is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical outcomes, angiographic patency, and resource utilization in 200 consecutive off-pump coronary bypass patients
John D. Puskas,Vinod H. Thourani,J. Jeffrey Marshall,Steven J Dempsey,Mark A. Steiner,Bonnie H Sammons,W. Morris Brown,John Parker Gott,William S. Weintraub,Robert A. Guyton +9 more
TL;DR: Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting reduces hospital cost, postoperative length of stay, and morbidity compared with CABG on cardiopulmonary bypass.
