TL;DR: In patients undergoing PCI, there were no significant differences between those receiving drug-eluting stents and those receiving bare-metal stents in the composite outcome of death from any cause and nonfatal spontaneous myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Nt-proBNP, more than Nt- ProANP, strongly predicts cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension and LV hypertrophy, especially in patients without diabetes or clinically overt cardiovascular disease.

Whole Blood Viscosity, Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Healthy Blood Donors
TL;DR: Results suggest that even in a population of healthy normotensive blood donors of a wide age range and either gender, there are positive correlations between directly assessed whole blood viscosity and a number of the components of the metabolic cardiovascular syndrome including systolic blood pressure, weight and blood lipids.
