Evaluation of a high-dose dexamethasone-eluting stent

Abstract

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a dexamethasone-eluting stent with a special high dexamethasone-loading dose for treatment of de novo coronary lesions in 30 patients. Eight patients had in-stent restenosis (restenosis rate 31%) at 6-month follow-up, and the in-stent late lumen loss was 0.96 +/- 0.63 mm due to an average intimal hyperplasia area obstruction of 32 +/- 21%, indicating that high-dose dexamethasone-loaded stents do not significantly reduce neointimal proliferation.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
