Evaluation Of Clinical Outcomes Of 4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate Versus Andexanet Alfa In The Treatment Of Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Eduardo Guizan Corrales, Radhan Gopalani, Heidi Clarke, Jonatha Kline, Felipe De Los Rios La Rosa, Thomas Wolfel

All Publications

Purpose: Oral anticoagulants account for up to 20% of intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) with one-year mortality estimated as high as 54%. Several studies have examined the use of 4-Factor prothrombin complex concentrate (4F-PCC) and andexanet alfa in the treatment of factor Xa associated ICH. High cost burden, lack of clinical outcomes, and risk of thromboembolic events continues to be a major dilemma behind product selection at many healthcare systems. The purpose of this project is to compare clinical outcomes between 4F-PCC and andexanet alfa in the management of patients with ICH secondary to apixaban and rivaroxaban at Baptist Hospital of Miami …

Cost-Effectiveness Of Coronary Artery Calcium Testing For Coronary Heart And Cardiovascular Disease Risk Prediction To Guide Statin Allocation: The Multi-Ethnic Study Of Atherosclerosis (Mesa), Khurram Nasir

All Publications

BACKGROUND: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) showed that the addition of coronary artery calcium (CAC) to traditional risk factors improves risk classification, particularly in intermediate risk asymptomatic patients with LDL cholesterol levels /dL. However, the cost-effectiveness of incorporating CAC into treatment decision rules has yet to be clearly delineated.OBJECTIVE: To model the cost-effectiveness of CAC for cardiovascular risk stratification in asymptomatic, intermediate risk patients not taking a statin. Treatment based on CAC was compared to (1) treatment of all intermediate-risk patients, and (2) treatment on the basis of United States guidelines.METHODS: We developed a Markov model of first coronary …

Low Zinc Levels Is Associated With Increased Inflammatory Activity But Not With Atherosclerosis, Arteriosclerosis Or Endothelial Dysfunction Among The Very Elderly, Ehimen Aneni, Khurram Nasir

All Publications

BACKGROUND:

Reduced zinc intake has been related to atherogenesis and arteriosclerosis. We verified this assumption in very old individuals, which are particularly prone to both zinc deficiency and structural and functional changes in the arterial wall.

METHODS:

Subjects (n = 201, 80-102 years) with uneventful cardiovascular history and who were not in use of anti-inflammatory treatments in the last 30-days were enrolled. Daily intake of zinc, lipid profile, plasma C-reactive protein (CRP), plasma zinc, flow-mediated dilation (FMD), carotid ultrasonography and cardiac computed tomography were obtained. Young's Elastic Modulus, Stiffness Index and Artery Compliance were calculated.

RESULTS:

There was no significant …
