AI Article Synopsis

  • - The management of coronary artery disease (CAD) has become more complicated due to advancements in medications and procedures, leading to an extensive range of treatment options.
  • - Researchers are exploring the best combinations of therapies, but the large amount of data and conflicting results can create confusion for patients and healthcare providers.
  • - Personalized treatment decisions are essential, and by focusing on the main findings from clinical trials and understanding patient preferences, healthcare providers can improve patient care and outcomes.

Article Abstract

In this review, we describe how the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) has become increasingly complex due to the rapid evolution of pharmacotherapy and procedural techniques. The expanding array of treatment options has driven researchers to investigate the optimal combination of therapies; while the findings offer invaluable insights, the sheer volume and occasional contradictions can foster confusion. Given the diverse spectrum of CAD and its manifestations, a tailored treatment decision is critical for each patient. We hope to demonstrate that by integrating the key messages from clinical trials and prioritizing patient comprehension and preference, healthcare providers can guide their patients toward appropriate treatment options, ultimately leading to enhanced care.

Background: This study aims to develop Z-Score models to normalize measurements of three coronary arteries and enhance the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease (KD) in children from newborns to 10 years old. Developing a reliable Z-Score model is challenging, as some existing models fail the normality test. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for improving KD diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate the predictive value of a Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) for postoperative major adverse cardiovascular events(MACEs) in elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgery and to develop a nomogram risk prediction model.

Methods: A total of 427 elderly patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent major abdominal surgery at our hospital between June 2023 and March 2024 were selected for the study, and 416 patients were ultimately included. The preoperative SPPB score was measured, and the patients were divided into two groups: a high SPPB group (≥ 10) and a low SPPB group (< 10).
