Coronary Heart Disease Testing Before Kidney Transplantation May Be Unwarranted
Testing for coronary heart disease before kidney transplantation is common practice, but may not be warranted for all patients, according to investigators.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Polygenic Risk Score May Predict Sudden Death in Some CAD Patients
High GPSCAD may predict sudden and/or arrhythmic death in patients with coronary artery disease without severe systolic dysfunction
High Parathyroid Hormone Levels Predict Worse Outcomes in Dialysis Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Strict management of secondary hyperparathyroidism may be necessary to improve prognosis in patients on dialysis who have coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous coronary intervention.
Intervention Cuts Risk for AKI After Coronary Angiography
Reduced incidence of AKI seen in association with multifaceted intervention, including clinical decision support, audit, feedback
Fractional Flow Reserve Noninferior to IVUS for Guiding PCI
FFR guidance noninferior with respect to composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, any revascularization within 24 months.
Comorbidities Up Among Patients With ESKD, Concomitant Psoriasis
Patients with end-stage renal disease and psoriasis are younger, more often obese, and more often have cancer, diabetes, CAD
Cardiovascular Outcomes Worsen With Declining Kidney Function
In patients with chronic coronary disease, the risk for death or nonfatal myocardial infarction increases along with chronic kidney disease stage, a study showed.
Newly Detected Vascular Risk Factors Common in Stroke Patients
Newly diagnosed vascular risk factors common in patients with acute ischemic stroke include dyslipidemia, hypertension, atrial fibrillation
Light Alcohol Intake May Not Protect Against Cardiovascular Disease
Heavy consumption tied to exponential increases of cardiovascular disease risk.
Decreasing Kidney Function Ups Sudden Cardiac Death Risk
As kidney function decreases, the risk for sudden cardiac death increases, independent of a history of coronary heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes, a study found.
