Importance In 2013, the Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT) reported that in 1708 patients with stable coronary disease and prior myocardial infarction (MI), oral multivitamins multiminerals (OMVMs), a factorial design edetate disodium (EDTA) chelation therapy, did not reduce cardiovascular events relative placebo OMVMs, but active EDTA combined OMVMs was superior OMVM/placebo EDTA. Objective To compare OMVM vs terms of efficacy for reducing major adverse diabetes MI. Design, Setting,...
In 2013, the Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT) reported that edetate disodium (EDTA)-based chelation significantly reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) events by 18% in 1708 patients with a prior myocardial infarction (MI).
Background: Prediabetes defined by fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) predicts incident diabetes, but their individual joint associations with micro- macro-vascular risk remain poorly defined. Methods: FPG, HbA1c, coronary artery calcium (CAC), carotid wall thickness, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured in adults free from prior diabetes or cardiovascular disease (CVD) the Dallas Heart Study 2...
The absence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in middle age is associated with very low short-term risk for events. However, the long-term implications a CAC score 0 are uncertain, particularly among individuals high cardiovascular lifetime risk. We sought to characterize association between predicted and incident risk.We included 754 Dallas Heart Study participants serial scans (6.9 years apart) both baseline CAC=0. Lifetime disease was estimated according factor burden. Among this group,...
Background: Current diagnostic criteria for cardiogenic shock (CS) require the use of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC), which is time-consuming and may cause complications. A set simple yet accurate noninvasive would be significant utility. Methods: Candidate components Noninvasive Parameters Assessment Cardiogenic Shock (N-PACS) were required to objective, readily available, noninvasive. Variables encompassing hypotension, hypoperfusion, predisposing conditions, elevated intracardiac...
A 52-year-old woman with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency department chest pain that started while sitting at work 2 hours previously. She described as “someone on her chest” and reported associated diaphoresis shortness breath.
Abstract Background Original descriptions of the takotsubo syndrome (TS) included a characteristic left ventricular (LV) contraction pattern, “apical ballooning.” Recently, several reports have associated patterns not strictly conforming to original description with TS. The specifics pattern seem set TS apart from much larger population patients acute coronary (ACS) but no obstructive artery disease (OCAD). This study was undertaken compare midventricular and apical dysfunction those other...
A invisibilidade social, muitas vezes imperceptível à primeira vista, se caracteriza pela ação de tornar algo ou alguém despercebido, ignorado desvalorizado. Este estudo visa evidenciar a das mulheres na terceira idade, explorando as questões que envolvem o envelhecimento feminino e destacando necessidade urgente práticas cuidados específicos para esse grupo. metodologia adotada é qualitativa, foi desenvolvido por meio da Revisão Integrativa Literatura (RIL), permitiu análise artigos estudos...
