Risk factors in cardiovascular patients: Challenges and opportunities to improve secondary prevention.

Background: Effective management of major cardiovascular risk factors is of great importance to reduce mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Survey of Risk Factors in Coronary Heart Disease (SURF CHD) II study is a clinical audit of the recording and management of CHD risk factors. It was developed in collaboration with the European Association of Preventive Cardiology and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Comparing 5-year Outcomes of Aorta-Coronary Bypass Surgery and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Performed with New-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in Non-Diabetic Patients with Multivessel Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients and Intermediate Syntax Score.

Objective: Our main objective is to determine the difference between patients undergoing CABG and PCI with new-generation drug-eluting stents who were non-diabetic during the course of a multivessel acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and intermediate SYNTAX score.

Methods: Between 2012 and 2014, we retrospectively evaluated 1011 non-diabetic patients with ACS in a single center. The patients were followed up up to 5-years.
