Impact of coronary artery calcium on coronary heart disease events in individuals at the extremes of traditional risk factor burden: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: Among individuals at the extremes of RF burden, the distribution of CAC is heterogeneous, and the presence of a high CAC burden, even among individuals without RFs, is associated with an elevated event rate, whereas the absence of Cac,even among those with many RF, isassociated with a low event rate.

Basic Principles of Platelet Biology and Clinical Implications

TL;DR: An overview of the basic principles of platelet biology is given and currently available antiplatelet agents, as well as those under clinical development, are reviewed.

Aspirin in the Chemoprevention of Colorectal Neoplasia: An Overview

TL;DR: The case for consideration of long-term aspirin use in CRC prevention is strengthened, as there is a lack of consensus about the balance of risks and benefits associated with long- term aspirin use, particularly in low-risk populations.

Efficacy and safety of cholesterol-lowering treatment: prospective meta-analysis of data from 90,056 participants in 14 randomised trials of statins.

TL;DR: Statin therapy can safely reduce the 5-year incidence of major coronary events, coronary revascularisation, and stroke by about one fifth per mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol, largely irrespective of the initial lipid profile or other presenting characteristics.

Collaborative meta-analysis of randomised trials of antiplatelet therapy for prevention of death, myocardial infarction, and stroke in high risk patients

TL;DR: Aspirin (or another oral antiplatelet drug) is protective in most types of patient at increased risk of occlusive vascular events, including those with an acute myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke, unstable or stable angina, previous myocardian infarctions, stroke or cerebral ischaemia, peripheral arterial disease, or atrial fibrillation.

Body-mass index and cause-specific mortality in 900 000 adults: collaborative analyses of 57 prospective studies

TL;DR: Below the range 22.5-25 kg/m(2), BMI was associated inversely with overall mortality, mainly because of strong inverse associations with respiratory disease and lung cancer, despite cigarette consumption per smoker varying little with BMI.
