THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SECONDARY PREVENTION MEASURES FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Heart disease, and in particular coronary artery disease (CAD), has long been one of the leading causes of death in the US. In order to reduce the morbidity and mortality from CAD, secondary prevention practice guidelines have been developed by the major cardiovascular societies in the US and …

Time is muscle : a systematic review investigating the role of remote ischaemic preconditioning and glucose-insulin-potassium infusions as adjunctive therapies to revascularisation in coronary artery disease
In the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) most advances have concerned improvements in catheter-based interventional techniques and complex pharmacotherapy, with an emphasis on time, which unfortunately, cannot always achieved. However, simple measures with reassuring benefit that can be …

Characterization of Gene-by-Age Interaction and Gene-by-Gene Interaction In Coronary Artery Disease
… Center. First, we studied the impact of age on coronary artery disease (CAD). Gene-by-age (GxAGE) interactions were tested at genome-wide scale, along with genes' marginal effects in age-stratified groups. Based on the interaction model, age plays the role as a modifier of the age-CAD …

Cardiac Co-morbidities in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a frequent co-morbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in COPD. Therefore, this study was performed to identify the prognostic factors associated with the CAD in COPD and …

Effect of Angina Under-recognition on Treatment Escalation in Outpatients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease
Almost a third of outpatients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) report having angina in the prior month, which is frequently under-recognized by their cardiologists. Whether under-recognition is associated with less treatment escalation to control angina, and potential underuse of …
