From the Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, we highlight the following heartwire articles:
- Statins do not eliminate risk of low HDL-cholesterol levels
- RE-LY: Post hoc analysis confirms benefit of dabigatran relative to warfarin at all INR levels
- CDC data show LDL screening rate remains stagnant; many who could benefit go without lipid-lowering drugs
- JCHF: Are low doses of carvedilol effective in heart failure?
- ACC/AHA focused update of guidelines for STEMI, PCI
- Baseline function data from STICH no help in pinpointing patients who benefit from SVR
- CT-STAT: CT angiography rules out CAD faster and cheaper than standard care
- Ticagrelor effects unraveled in new phase 2 trials
Join us for an audio recap of the news that is important to cardiologists today.
