Aspirin use and all-cause mortality among patients being evaluated for known or suspected coronary artery disease: A propensity analysis.
CONTEXT Although aspirin has been shown to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and short-term mortality following acute myocardial infarction, the association between its use and long-term all-cause mortality has not been well defined. OBJECTIVES To determine whether aspirin is associated with a mortality benefit in stable patients with known or suspected coronary disease and to identify patient ...
متن کاملThe prognostic value of stress/rest gated myocardial perfusion SPECT in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Introduction:Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT has diagnostic and prognostic values in coronary artery disease (CAD). We tried to determine prognostic values of the left ventricular perfusion & functional indices as well as transient left ventricular dilation (TID) derived from gated myocardial perfusion SPECT. Methods: 1820patients who underwent gated myo...
متن کاملUse of stress echocardiography to predict mortality in patients with diabetes and known or suspected coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine whether stress echocardiography using exercise (when feasible) or dobutamine echo could be used to predict mortality in patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Stress echo was performed in 937 patients with diabetes (aged 59 +/- 13 years, 529 men) for symptom evaluation (42%) and follow-up of known coronary artery disease (CAD) (58%). Stres...
متن کاملPerspectives of new imaging techniques for patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in western society. Over recent decades, major advances have been made in non invasive imaging techniques, resulting in an enormous growth in their role in the clinical assessment of patients with known and suspected CAD. Indeed, although invasive coronary angiography remains the current gold standard in ...
متن کاملStress echocardiography for risk stratification of diabetic patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetic patients; therefore, their risk stratification is a relevant issue. Because exercise tolerance is frequently impaired in these patients, pharmacological stress echocardiography (SE) has been suggested as a valuable alternative. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic value of this technique in diabe...
