Article Synopsis
- A large number of patients over 50 undergoing coronary angiography often have normal or non-obstructive coronary artery disease, leading to a study on their long-term outcomes and re-catheterization rates.
- Out of 1939 NOCAD patients identified, 90% did not require repeat angiography while 10% did; among those who had repeat procedures, a small percentage resulted in successful angioplasty.
- Key risk factors like male gender, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking were more prevalent in patients needing intervention, and many were not regularly prescribed statins or aspirin for treatment.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the outcomes of patients with multivessel disease (MVD) who received surgical revascularization after a remote consultation, particularly focusing on the rate of anatomical complete revascularization (ACR) and its impact on patient mortality.
- - Out of 314 included patients, those who underwent ACR showed significantly higher 4-year mortality rates compared to those who had not, indicating that ACR may be linked to better survival outcomes.
- - The research suggests that performing partial revascularization without a structured heart team may lead to higher than expected mortality and other adverse events, highlighting the need for better collaborative treatment approaches in centers lacking on-site surgical services.
