Silent Ischemia on Holter Monitoring Predicts Mortality in High-Risk Postinfarction Patients
Sidney O. Gottlieb,Sheldon H. Gottlieb,Stephen C. Achuff,Rosemary A. Baumgardner,E D Mellits,Myron L. Weisfeldt,Gary Gerstenblith +6 more
TL;DR: Multivariate Cox's hazard function analysis showed that the presence of ST changes on Holter monitoring was a significant predictive variable for one-year mortality in the overall study population and particularly in the subgroup of 59 patients who could not undergo early exercise treadmill testing.

Double-masked Randomized Trial Comparing Alternate Combinations of Intraoperative Anesthesia and Postoperative Analgesia in Abdominal Aortic Surgery
Edward J. Norris,Charles Beattie,Bruce A. Perler,Elizabeth A. Martinez,Curtis L. Meinert,Gerald F. Anderson,Jeffrey A. Grass,Neil T. Sakima,Randolph Gorman,Stephen C. Achuff,Barbara K. Martin,Stanley L. Minken,G. Melville Williams,Richard J. Traystman +13 more
TL;DR: In patients undergoing surgery of the abdominal aorta, thoracic epidural anesthesia combined with a light general anesthesia or general anesthesia alone intraoperatively and either intravenous or epidural patient-controlled analgesia postoperatively, offers no major advantage or disadvantage.

The association of low levels of hdl cholesterol and arteriographically defined coronary artery disease
TL;DR: It is suggested that low levels of HDL cholesterol are important risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis and that they may be useful for identifying patients at high risk of certain anatomic patterns of coronary artery disease.

Changes in intrinsic coronary circulation and segmental ventricular motion after saphenous-vein coronary bypass graft surgery.
Lawrence S.C. Griffith,Stephen C. Achuff,C R Conti,Humphries Jo,Robert K. Brawley,Vincent L. Gott,Richard S. Ross +6 more
TL;DR: Occlusive changes in the intrinsic coronary arterial circulation were found in 50 of 71 patients after saphenous-vein bypass surgery and must be considered in the evaluation of this operation.

Plasma dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography.
David M. Herrington,Gary B. Gordon,Stephen C. Achuff,Jorge F. Trejo,Harlan F. Weisman,Peter O. Kwiterovich,Thomas A. Pearson +6 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate a consistent, independent, inverse, dose-response relation between plasma DHEA sulfate levels and angiographically defined coronary atherosclerosis in men and Plasma DHEa sulfate may be another important and potentially modifiable risk factor for the development and progression of coronary Atherosclerosis.
