Early detection of coronary atherosclerosis using computed tomography angiography (CCTA), in addition to artery calcification (CAC) scoring, may help inform prevention strategies. We used CCTA determine the prevalence, severity, and characteristics its association with CAC scores a general population. recruited 30 154 randomly invited individuals age 50 64 years SCAPIS (the Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study). The study includes without known heart disease (ie, no previous myocardial...
Background— Small observational studies have indicated better outcome with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance when performing unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) percutaneous intervention (PCI), but the overall picture remains inconclusive and warrants further investigation. We studied impact of IVUS on in patients undergoing LMCA PCI a Swedish nationwide study. Methods Results— Patients who underwent between 2005 2014 because stable disease or acute syndrome were included...
Abstract Background and Aims The long-term outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) multivessel disease remain debated.

We assessed all patients undergoing IFR or FFR assessment between January 1, 2014, February 16, 2022, using from SWEDEHEART (Swedish Web-System for Enhancement Development Evidence-Based Care Heart Disease Evaluated...
The REC-CAGEFREE trial showed that drug-coated balloons (DCB) did not achieve non-inferiority in the treatment of non-complex de novo lesion compared to a strategy drug-eluting stents (DES). However, prespecified subgroup analysis arteries sized <3.0 mm revealed no difference device-oriented outcome DES. aim present study was validate finding real-world registry by comparing DCB and DES lesions with mm. Swedish Coronary Angiography Angioplasty (SCAAR) used identify all segments small...
Little is known regarding treatment with cangrelor during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects such PCI population included undergoing (2016-2022) for arrest from SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry). Propensity score (PS)-matched groups were compared major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 30 days, in-hospital...
<h3>Importance</h3> Whether certain weather conditions modulate the onset of myocardial infarction (MI) is great interest to clinicians because it could be used prevent MIs as well guide allocation health care resources. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine if associated with day-to-day incidence MI. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> In this prospective, population-based nationwide setting, daily data from Swedish Meteorological Hydrological Institute were extracted for all reported...
Most reports on the declining incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) during COVID-19 have either been anecdotal, survey results or geographically limited to areas with lockdowns. We examined MI pandemic in Sweden, which has remained an open society a different public health approach fighting COVID-19.We assessed rate (IR) as well ratios (IRRs) all referred for coronary angiography Sweden using nationwide Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR), (1 March 2020-7 May...
SummaryBackgroundSodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to reduce rates of heart failure hospitalisations and cardiovascular death in patients with type diabetes prior disease. We hypothesised that SGLT2 could provide benefits the post-myocardial infarction setting. aimed investigate outcomes inhibitor therapy mellitus after myocardial a Swedish nationwide registry.MethodsWe included all surviving 1 acute from January 1, 2018 December 31, 2021. Patients were if...
Abstract Objectives To study circadian rhythm aspects, national holidays, and major sports events as triggers of myocardial infarction. Design Retrospective observational using the nationwide coronary care unit registry, SWEDEHEART. Setting Sweden. Participants 283 014 cases infarction reported to SWEDEHEART between 1998 2013. Symptom onset date was documented for all cases, time nearest minute 88%. Interventions Myocardial infarctions with symptom on Christmas/New Year, Easter, Midsummer...
BackgroundPatients have an estimated mortality of 15–20% within the first year following myocardial infarction and one in four patients who survive will develop heart failure, severely reducing quality life increasing risk long-term mortality. We aimed to establish accuracy artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm predicting 1-year admission hospital for failure after infarction.MethodsIn this nationwide population-based study, we used data all admitted discharged alive from a coronary care...
Background The impact of baseline anemia in a contemporary acute coronary syndrome (ACS) population undergoing percutaneous intervention the era predominant radial artery access, potent P2Y12 inhibition, and rare use glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors has not been adequately studied. Methods Results ACS patients who underwent between 2014 2016 VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART (Bivalirudin Versus Heparin ST-Segment Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients on Modern Antiplatelet Therapy...
Background The use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to treat unprotected left main artery disease has expanded rapidly in the past decade. We aimed describe nationwide trends clinical practice and outcomes after PCI for disease. Methods Results Patients (n=4085) enrolled SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography Angioplasty Registry) as undergoing from 2005 2017 were included. A count regression model was used analyze time-related differences procedural characteristics. 3-year major...
Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is frequently administered before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).The aim of the study was to investigate if pretreatment UFH prior arrival at catheterisation laboratory affects artery occlusion, mortality, and in-hospital major bleeding STEMI undergoing PCI.Patients a first event PCI between 2008 2016 were extracted from Swedish Coronary Angiography Angioplasty Registry. Risk ratios for...
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is frequently used for patients with chronic syndrome (CCS). However, the role of PCI beyond symptom relief in CCS remains controversial. The objective this study was to determine whether associated better outcomes, compared medical therapy (MT) alone. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study. Using Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry, we included all undergoing angiography Sweden between 2010 2020. Two groups...
