BACKGROUND Areca nut chewing has been reported to be associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and cardiovascular mortality in previous studies. The aim of this study was to examine whether chewing areca nut increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Taiwanese men. METHODS This study is a hospital-based case-control study. The case patients were male patients diag...
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate whether information on arterial stiffness can improve the value of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS A total of 233 patients (age: 62.2±10.8 years, 60.3% males) with detected ischemia on SPECT undergoing invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and brachial-ankle pul...
BACKGROUND Limited studies report on the additional prognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and the coronary artery calcium score (CACS). METHODS For a median of 637 days, 1551 outpatients with chest pain, without known coronary artery disease (CAD) and low or intermediate pre-test probability of CAD, were followed for major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined a...
AIMS Several studies reported on the moderate diagnostic yield of elective invasive coronary angiography (ICA) regarding the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), but limited data are available on how prior testing for ischaemia may contribute to improve the diagnostic yield in an every-day clinical setting. This study aimed to assess the value and use of cardiac myocardial perfusion singl...
AIMS To date, the therapeutic benefit of revascularization vs. medical therapy for stable individuals undergoing invasive coronary angiography (ICA) based upon coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) findings has not been examined. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 15 223 patients without known coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing CCTA from eight sites and six countries who were fo...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Arterial stiffness has been known as an independent contributory factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is widely used as a simple noninvasive measure of arterial stiffness. The aim of our study was to test whether baPWV had predictive value for CAD in the subset of patients with high pretest probability. SUBJECTS AND MET...
Myocardium subtended by obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) may show reduced left ventricle (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS), as well as early systolic lengthening (ESL) before shortening; these can be measured at rest and may predict obstructive CAD. This study investigated whether baseline resting LV longitudinal strain measurements may be able to detect significant CAD in patients...
Objectives: To examine the hypothesis that glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) may cause headache in patients with normal coronary arteries more often than in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). This simple assessment may aid clinicians in the initial evaluation of chest pain syndrome and possible CAD. Patients and methods: 118 patients (66 men and 52 women) with new onset of chest p...
OBJECTIVE The usefulness of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes is ambiguous. We therefore performed a meta-analysis of studies reporting event rates and hazard ratios (HR) to determine the prognostic value of CTA in this patient population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We searched PubMed and Embase up to ...
AIMS Prior studies evaluating the prognostic utility of cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) have been largely constrained to an all-cause mortality endpoint, with other cardiac endpoints generally not reported. To this end, we sought to determine the relationship of extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) by CCTA to risk of incident major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) (defined as death,...
