Abstract

We aimed to evaluate the role of gender differences in the outcomes of catheter-based peripheral arterial disease interventions on a national level. We queried the National Inpatient Sample Database and identified all patients who presented with acute or symptomatic long term limb ischemia requiring transcatheter nonsurgical peripheral intervention in the years of 2016 to 2017. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite end point of in-hospital mortality, nonfatal stroke, and acute myocardial infarction. Secondary outcomes were the subject components of the primary end point, vascular complications, major bleeding, acute kidney injury, limb amputation, total cost, and length of stay. A total of 58,165 patients were included. The majority were males (57.2%) and of white race (67.1%). On multivariate analysis, female gender was an independent predictor of MACE with an adjusted odd ratio (a-OR) of 1.36 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12 to 1.65, p = 0.002), mortality (a-OR 1.52; 95% CI: 1.12 to 2.04, p = 0.006), nonfatal stroke (a-OR 2.51; 95% CI: 1.56 to 4.03, p < 0.001), major bleeding (a-OR 1.87; 95% CI: 1.53 to 2.28, p < 0.001), and higher cost with an adjusted mean ratio of 1...Continue Reading

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.
