Models based on perioperative basic metabolic panel laboratory values performed well in predicting acute kidney injury at 72 hours and 14 days after cardiac surgery, researchers reported in JAMA.

The minimum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I tied to 30-day death after cardiac surgery was found to be significantly greater than what is currently recommended to diagnose periprocedural myocardial injury, researchers reported.

10-year mortality according to presence of highly calcified lesions in high-risk patients with CAD who had CABG or PCI with DES.

CVD is the leading cause of death in women globally, but women are less likely to receive CV procedures than men, and not enough is known about sex differences for those procedures, a panel concluded.

In patients with three-vessel CAD and/or left main disease, those with heavily calcified lesions had elevated long-term mortality risk, which did not vary by assignment to PCI or CABG, according to new data from the SYNTAXES study.
