Dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and a thienopyridine has been shown to reduce cardiac events after coronary stenting. However, many patients healthcare providers prematurely discontinue dual therapy, which greatly increases the risk of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, death. This advisory stresses importance 12 months placement drug-eluting educating patient about hazards premature discontinuation. It also recommends postponing elective surgery for 1 year, if cannot be...
Despite improvements in cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) design, application of timely infection control practices, and administration antibiotic prophylaxis at the time placement, CIED infections continue to occur can be life-threatening. This has prompted study all aspects infections. Recognizing recent advances our understanding epidemiology, risk factors, microbiology, management, prevention infections, American Heart Association commissioned this scientific statement...
A link between oral health and cardiovascular disease has been proposed for more than a century. Recently, concern about possible links periodontal (PD) atherosclerotic vascular (ASVD) intensified is driving an active field of investigation into association causality. The 2 disorders share several common risk factors, including cigarette smoking, age, diabetes mellitus. Patients providers are increasingly presented with claims that PD treatment strategies offer ASVD protection; these often...
Antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations for the prevention of infective endocarditis are based in part on studies bacteremia from dental procedures, but toothbrushing may pose a greater threat. The purpose this study was to compare incidence, duration, nature, and magnitude endocarditis-related single-tooth extraction determine impact amoxicillin extraction.In double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 290 subjects were randomized (1) toothbrushing, (2) with prophylaxis, or (3) identical...
