TL;DR: This report overviews and highlights these important interval developments as deliberated among the task force of CTEPH experts and presented at the 2013 World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension in Nice, France.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium-channel blockers reduce the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel.
TL;DR: Coadministration of CCBs is associated with decreased platelet inhibition by clopidogrel, indicating that the negative effect occurs in vivo, conceivably at the level of the CYP3A4 cytochrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid endovascular catheter core cooling combined with cold saline as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. The CHILL-MI trial: a randomized controlled study of the use of central venous catheter core cooling combined with cold saline as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors confirmed the cardioprotective effects of hypothermia using a combination of cold saline and endovascular cooling in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarctions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic Hypothermia for the Treatment of Acute Myocardial Infarction - Combined analysis of the RAPID MI- ICE and the CHILL-MI trials

TL;DR: The prespecified pooled analysis of RAPID MI-ICE and CHILL-MI indicates a reduction of myocardial IS and reduction in heart failure by 1-3 hours with endovascular cooling in association with primary PCI of acute STEMI predominantly in patients with large area of mycardium at risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Although diastolic blood pressure is the strongest predictor of CAD in younger and middle-aged people, this relationship becomes inverted and pulse pressure shows the strongest direct relationship with CAD in people above 60 years of age, and the lowering of systolicBlood pressure is clearly beneficial in this setting, even at the price of further lowering diastolics pressure.
