High-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays for cardiovascular risk stratification in the general population.

European Heart Journal, 2020
Cardiac troponins (cTns) I and T have long been the most successful cardiac-specific circulating biomarkers in cardiovascular (CV) medicine, having changed dramatically the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, while being independent predictors of ...

The risk stratification in atrial fibrillation

Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2012
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common rhythm disorder and represents a major public health problem because it carries an increased risk of arterial thromboembolism and ischemic stroke. Because the absolute benefit of antithrombotic therapy depends on the underlying risk of stroke, an accurate stratification of patients' risk is needed to choose ...

Amide Proton Transfer‐Weighted Imaging and Multiple Models Diffusion‐Weighted Imaging Facilitates Preoperative Risk Stratification of Early‐Stage Endometrial Carcinoma

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2021
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) risk stratification is generally based on histological assessment. It would be beneficial to perform risk stratification noninvasively by MRI.

Syncope risk stratification in the ED

Autonomic Neuroscience, 2014
Syncope may be the final common presentation of a number of clinical conditions spanning benign (i.e. neurally-mediated syncope) to life-threatening diseases (i.e. cardiac syncope). Hospitalization rate after a syncopal episode is high. An effective risk stratification is crucial to identify patients at risk of poor prognosis in the short term period ...

Risk stratification in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary myocardial disorder with an autosomal pattern of inheritance, characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy with myocyte and myofibrillar disarray. Approximately 30% to 50% of all cases are accounted for by mutations in the beta-cardiac myosin heavy chain gene on chromosome 14q1.

Cardiovascular Risk Stratification [PDF]

, 2012
Perioperative cardiovascular complications pose serious risk to patients, especially those with underlying cardiac disease. The degree of risk varies widely depending on medical comorbidities and type of surgery. A careful medical evaluation before surgery can help inform a discussion of risk for patients and providers, and suggest management to ...

Cardiac Risk Stratification and Protection

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2015
The goal of preoperative cardiac evaluation is to screen for undiagnosed cardiac disease or to find evidence of known conditions that are poorly controlled to allow management that reduces the risk of perioperative cardiac complications. A careful history and physical examination combined with the procedure-specific risk is the cornerstone of this ...

Risk Stratification of Pulmonary Embolism

Critical Care Clinics, 2020
Given the broad treatment options, risk stratification of pulmonary embolism is a highly desirable component of management. The ideal tool identifies patients at risk of death from the original or recurrent pulmonary embolism. Using all-cause death in the first 30-days after pulmonary embolism diagnosis as a surrogate, clinical parameters, biomarkers ...

Risk stratification and risk assessment

2015
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the biggest cause of death worldwide. The underlying atherosclerosis starts in childhood and is often advanced when it becomes clinically apparent many years later. CVD is manageable: in countries where it has reduced this is due to changes in lifestyle and risk factors and to therapy.

Risk Stratification With Opioid Therapy

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 2012
The use of chronic opioid therapy for persistent headache remains controversial because of limited supporting data and potential risks. In addition to possible individual risks for the patient, society risks associated with diversion and substance abuse are well documented.
