CYP2C19 Phenotype, P2Y12 Inhibitor Selection, and Clinical Outcomes in Patients on Maintenance Clopidogrel Therapy.

Journal Article J Am Heart Assoc · July 15, 2025 BACKGROUND: Use of CYP2C19 genotyping to guide antiplatelet therapy is associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients naïve to P2Y12 inhibitors undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The relationship between CYP2C19 genotype and clinical ou ... Full text Link to item Cite

CYP2C19 Genotype Is Associated With Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Black Patients Treated With Clopidogrel Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Journal Article J Am Heart Assoc · June 18, 2024 BACKGROUND: Cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) intermediate and poor metabolizer patients exhibit diminished clopidogrel clinical effectiveness after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, outcome studies to date have lacked racial diversity. Thus, ... Full text Link to item Cite

Impact of age and comorbidities on the effect of transcatheter versus surgical mitral valve repair on inpatient outcomes.

Journal Article Catheter Cardiovasc Interv · May 1, 2020 BACKGROUND: Transcatheter mitral valve repair (TMVR) has shown to be a safe and effective treatment option for symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in patients who are at prohibitive surgical risk. Whether age and comorbidities impact the inpatient ... Full text Link to item Cite

Effect of Cigarette Smoking on Risk for Adverse Events in Patients With Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction.

Journal Article Am J Cardiol · August 1, 2018 Smoking is an important risk factor in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection (HFpEF), and previous reports have identified smoking as a significant predictor of death in this population. However, the relation between smoking and heart fa ... Full text Link to item Cite

Urban-rural differences in mortality for atrial fibrillation hospitalizations in the United States.

Journal Article Heart Rhythm · February 2018 BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular outcomes vary between urban and rural hospitals, with worse outcomes in rural settings. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine whether in-hospital mortality for hospitalization for atrial fibrillation (AF) varied bet ... Full text Link to item Cite

Echocardiographic predictors of atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Journal Article Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging · July 1, 2017 AIMS: To determine if markers of diastolic dysfunction are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) development among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). METHODS AND RESULTS: We examined the association of several echocard ... Full text Link to item Cite

Gender Differences in the Risk of Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.

Journal Article Am J Cardiol · June 1, 2017 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk for adverse events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but it is currently unknown if gender differences in these outcomes exist. To explore this hypothesis, ... Full text Link to item Cite

The clinical utility of normal findings on noninvasive cardiac assessment in the prediction of atrial fibrillation.

Journal Article Clin Cardiol · April 2017 BACKGROUND: The absence of abnormalities on noninvasive cardiac assessment possibly confers a reduced risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) despite the presence of traditional risk factors. HYPOTHESIS: Normal findings on noninvasive cardiac assessment are assoc ... Full text Link to item Cite

Utility of Normal Findings on Electrocardiogram and Echocardiogram in Subjects ≥65 Years.

Journal Article Am J Cardiol · March 15, 2017 The lack of abnormalities found on noninvasive cardiac testing possibly improves cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification efforts and conveys reduced risk despite the presence of traditional risk factors. This analysis included 3,805 (95% white and ... Full text Link to item Cite

Biomarkers and the prediction of atrial fibrillation: state of the art.

Journal Article Vasc Health Risk Manag · 2016 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice, and it places a substantial burden on the health care system. Despite improvements in our understanding of AF pathophysiology, we have yet to develop targete ... Full text Link to item Cite
