Epidemiologic Study of In-Hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in the Elderly

Background It is unknown whether the rate of survival after in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is improving and which characteristics of patients and hospitals predict survival.

Methods We examined fee-for-service Medicare data from 1992 through 2005 to identify beneficiaries 65 years of age or older who underwent CPR in U.S. hospitals. We examined temporal trends in the incidence of CPR and the rate of survival after CPR, as well as patient- and hospital-level predic… Continue

Genetic Loci Associated With C-Reactive Protein Levels and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease

Context Plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are independently associated with risk of coronary heart disease, but whether CRP is causally associated with coronary heart disease or merely a marker of underlying atherosclerosis is uncertain.

Objective To investigate association of genetic loci with CRP levels and risk of coronary heart disease.

Design, Setting, and Participants We first carried out a genome-wide association (n = 17 967) and replication study (n = 13 61… Continue

Novel and Conventional Biomarkers for Prediction of Incident Cardiovascular Events in the Community

Context Prior studies have demonstrated conflicting results regarding how much information novel biomarkers add to cardiovascular risk assessment.

Objective
To evaluate the utility of contemporary biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular risk when added to conventional risk factors.

Design, Setting, and Participants Cohort study of 5067 participants (mean age, 58 years; 60% women) without cardiovascular disease from Malmö, Sweden, who attended a baseline examination betwee… Continue

Use of blood pressure lowering drugs in the prevention of cardiovascular disease: meta-analysis of 147 randomised trials in the context of expectations from prospective epidemiological studies

Objectives To determine the quantitative efficacy of different classes of blood pressure lowering drugs in preventing coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, and who should receive treatment.

Design Meta-analysis.

Data source Medline (1966-2007).

Study selection Randomised trials of blood pressure lowering drugs recording CHD events and strokes. 108 trials studied differences in blood pressure between study drug and placebo (or control group not receiving the stud… Continue

Routine Early Angioplasty after Fibrinolysis for Acute Myocardial Infarction

Background Patients with a myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation who present to hospitals that do not have the capability of performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) often cannot undergo timely primary PCI and therefore receive fibrinolysis. The role and optimal timing of routine PCI after fibrinolysis have not been established.

Methods
We randomly assigned 1059 high-risk patients who had a myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation and who were receiving… Continue

The Effect of a Plant-Based Low-Carbohydrate ("Eco-Atkins") Diet on Body Weight and Blood Lipid Concentrations in Hyperlipidemic Subjects

Background Low-carbohydrate, high–animal protein diets, which are advocated for weight loss, may not promote the desired reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration. The effect of exchanging the animal proteins and fats for those of vegetable origin has not been tested. Our objective was to determine the effect on weight loss and LDL-C concentration of a low-carbohydrate diet high in vegetable proteins from gluten, soy, nuts, fruits, vegetables, cereals, and veg… Continue

Association Between Sleep and Blood Pressure in Midlife

Background Epidemiological studies have reported an association between self-reported short sleep duration and high blood pressure (BP). Our objective was to examine both cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between objectively measured sleep and BP.

Methods This study is ancillary to the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) cohort study. Blood pressure was measured in 2000 and 2001 and in 2005 and 2006. Sleep was measured twice using wrist actigraphy… Continue

Bisoprolol and fluvastatin for the reduction of perioperative cardiac mortality and myocardial infarction in intermediate-risk patients undergoing noncardiovascular surgery

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of beta-blockers and statins for the prevention of perioperative cardiovascular events in intermediate-risk patients undergoing noncardiovascular surgery.

SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA:
Beta-blockers and statins reduce perioperative cardiac events in high-risk patients undergoing vascular surgery by restoring the myocardial oxygen supply/demand balance and/or stabilizing coronary plaques. However, their effects in intermediate… Continue

High-Calorie-Expenditure Exercise

Background— More than 80% of patients entering cardiac rehabilitation (CR) are overweight, and >50% have metabolic syndrome. Current CR exercise protocols result in little weight loss and minimal changes in cardiac risk factors. We sought to design an exercise protocol that would lead to greater weight loss and risk factor change.

Methods and Results
— We performed a randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effect of high-calorie-expenditure exercise (3000- to 3500-k… Continue

One-Year Clinical Outcomes, Midterm Survival, and Predictors of Mortality After Carotid Stenting in Elderly Patients

Background— It has been demonstrated recently that carotid stenting can be performed safely in patients ≥80 years of age. However, it is uncertain whether these patients will derive benefit because longevity after revascularization is an important consideration. This study was conducted to determine survival and predictors of mortality of selected elderly patients after stenting.

Methods and Results— One hundred forty-two consecutive elderly patients who were non–high risk for ste… Continue
