- The cardiovascular effects of rosiglitazone for patients with coronary artery disease remain unknown. (johnshopkins.edu)
- METHODS AND RESULTS - : To examine any association between rosiglitazone use and cardiovascular events among patients with diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease, we analyzed events among 2368 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease in the Bypass Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation 2 Diabetes (BARI 2D) trial. (johnshopkins.edu)
- CONCLUSIONS - : Among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease in the BARI 2D trial, neither on-treatment nor propensity-matched analysis supported an association of rosiglitazone treatment with an increase in major ischemic cardiovascular events. (johnshopkins.edu)

- Approximately 50% of mortality in diabetic patients is related to coronary disease ( 1 ), and diabetes has a significant impact on outcome in patients with established coronary disease ( 2 ). (diabetesjournals.org)
- A further strategy would be to screen patients for existing evidence of coronary disease, with the intent of myocardial revascularization in those at greatest risk. (diabetesjournals.org)
- In nondiabetic patients, a number of factors may be used to stratify the level of risk of coronary disease, including clinical history, resting ventricular function, exercise capacity, the presence and extent of ischemia at single-photon emission-computed tomography (SPECT), or stress echo. (diabetesjournals.org)
- None of the 83 diabetic patients had a popliteal artery aneurysm, compared to 25 (7.9%) of the 316 patients without DM (p = 0.008). (springer.com)
- Background A diverse range of factors influence clinicians' decisions regarding the allocation of patients to different treatments for coronary artery disease in routine cardiology clinics. (ucl.ac.uk)
- Methods Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted on patient data from 214 coronary artery disease patients who at the time of recruitment had been received a clinical assessment and were reviewed by their cardiologist in order to determine the form of treatment they were to undergo: 70 would receive/continue medication, 71 were to undergo angioplasty and 73 were to undergo bypass surgery. (ucl.ac.uk)
- The analyses differentiating patients receiving surgery from angioplasty produced 12 significant univariate predictors, of which 4 were multivariately significant (limitations in mobility range, circumflex artery disease, previous coronary interventions and educational level). (ucl.ac.uk)
- The analyses differentiating patients receiving surgery from medication produced 14 significant univariate predictors, of which 4 were multivariately significant (left anterior descending artery disease, previous cerebral events, limitations in mobility range and circumflex artery disease).

Angiogram1
- Before an angioplasty, a doctor does a coronary angiogram. (cigna.com)
Walls2
Clinical2
- The development of new clinical outcome assessments could lead to new treatments for the disease. (rand.org)
- Conclusion Variables emphasised in clinical guidelines are clearly involved in coronary artery disease treatment decisions. (ucl.ac.uk)
Balloon is inflated2
- During an angioplasty, a tiny, temporary balloon is inflated inside a blocked artery. (sharp.com)
- When the balloon is inflated, the stent expands to fit the size of the blocked artery and pushes against the inner wall of the artery to provide a pathway for increased blood flow. (summahealth.org)
Interventions1
- Freitas1 coronary interventions (PCI) in octogenarians are increasingly indicated. (bvsalud.org)
Atherosclerotic2
- Coronary artery disease (CAD), also called coronary heart disease (CHD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial ischemia, or simply heart disease, involves the reduction of blood flow to the heart muscle due to build-up of atherosclerotic plaque in the arteries of the heart. (wikipedia.org)
- The NIOSH investigator concluded that the physical stress of responding to the alarm and his underlying atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) probably contributed to this FEO's heart attack and death. (cdc.gov)
Take 301

- The CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention is shining a light on hypertension (high blood pressure), a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke. (cdc.gov)
Keeps the artery open1
- The stent keeps the artery open and prevents it from narrowing again. (summahealth.org)
Epicardial coronary2
- In this malformation a part of epicardial coronary artery is divided into many long and thin channels. (hindawi.com)
- However, resting ST segment changes may be false positive responses for epicardial coronary disease ( 5 ), and false positive ST segment changes and poor exercise capacity may reduce the utility of standard exercise electrocardiogram testing. (diabetesjournals.org)
Circumflex2

Placement1
- Angioplasty is often combined with the placement of a small wire mesh tube called a stent. (mayoclinichealthsystem.org)

Treatments1
- In western health systems, tertiary care developed for diseases common to those regions, using tests and treatments that were affordable to them. (epw.in)
Wall of the artery1
- The pressure from the inflated balloon presses the plaque against the wall of the artery, creating more room for blood to flow. (cigna.com)
Therapies2
- It is therefore important to define the underlying mechanisms of re-narrowing of injured arteries in order to design new therapies for coronary artery disease. (ca.gov)
- Translating to non-invasive procedures for treating coronary artery disease, PCI devices have necessitated a paradigm shift in cardiovascular therapies. (reportlinker.com)
Oxygen-rich blood flowing to t1
- With advanced disease, the narrowing of coronary arteries reduces the supply of oxygen-rich blood flowing to the heart, which becomes more pronounced during strenuous activities during which the heart beats faster. (wikipedia.org)
