March 27, 2017 — Patients experiencing a major heart attack often have more than one clogged artery, but under current guidelines doctors typically only clear the blockage responsible for the heart attack. Assessing and, when warranted, treating the additional blockages can improve patient outcomes and reduce the need for subsequent invasive procedures, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2017  Annual Scientific Session. 

Participants in Web-based lifestyle counseling reduced their systolic blood pressure by 10 mmHg, compared with a 6 mmHg reduction for those taking part in a web-based control intervention, a statistically significant difference, according to a new study. The research from this trial — the first randomized, double-blinded trial of an online behavioral intervention for high blood pressure — was presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 66th Annual Scientific Session, March 17-19 in Washington, D.C.

Using genetic testing to help personalize warfarin therapy given to patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery appears to lower the risk of combined adverse events compared with clinically guided dosing, according to new research. Researchers said these findings could have implications for a broad population of patients starting warfarin therapy.
