Predicting 10-year risk of recurrent cardiovascular events andcardiovascular interventions in patients with established cardiovascular disease: results from UCC-SMART and REACH

Pulse Pressure and Risk for Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Atherothrombosis: From the REACH Registry.

BACKGROUND Pulse pressure (PP) provides valuable prognostic information in specific populations, but few studies have assessed its value on cardiovascular outcomes in a broad, worldwide population. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether PP is associated with major adverse cardiovascular outcomes, independently of mean arterial pressure. METHODS Participants from the inter...

Food Intake Pattern and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients with Premature Coronary Artery Disease in Iran

Background: There is limited evidence regarding the risk factors and nutritional patterns in patients with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). This study aims to investigate the relationship between different dietary patterns and risk factors in patients with PCAD. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on PCAD patients, including men younger than 55 years and women younger tha...

Comparison between GRACE and TIMI scores in predicting significant cardiovascular events in patients with chest pain: brief report

Background: Chest pain is the most common reason for patients to be referred to the emergency department of hospitals. This study was performed to compare the GRACE and TIMI scores in predicting important cardiovascular events in patients. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 862 cardiac patients who were referred to the emergency department of Taleghani Hospital in Urmi...

Obesity, risk factors, and predicting cardiovascular events.

APubMed search in March 2005 with the key word “metabolic syndrome” yielded 10 000 references. Past labels for this disorder include “syndrome X,” “deadly quartet,” and “cardiovascular dysmetabolic syndrome.”1–3 What is driving the current increased interest in the metabolic syndrome? Possibly the impetus comes from the dramatic increases in obesity in the United States and other developed coun...
