Anti-inflammatory therapy with canakinumab was found to reduce the total number of cardiovascular events in patients with prior myocardial infarction and evidence of residual inflammatory risk, according to a published study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. A total of 10,061 patients with a prior history of myocardial infarction and a high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels 2 mg/L were enrolled in the Canakinumab Anti-Inflammatory Thrombosis Outcomes Study (CANTOS; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01327846). Participants were randomly assigned to received placebo or the interleukin (IL)-1 inhibitor canakinumab at 50 mg, 150 mg, or 300 mg once every 3 months Continue reading →

Results of an Individual Patient Data Pooled Analysis Reported at TCT Connect NEW YORK October 15, 2020 An individual patient data pooled analysis comparing the use of bivalirudin versus heparin in heart attack patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) found that bivalirudin use was associated with similar overall rates of 30-day mortality across all heart attack patients, but lower rates of serious bleeding events. Moreover, mortality was reduced in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who were treated with a post-PCI bivalirudin infusion. Findings were reported today at TCT Connect, the 32ndannual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF). Continue reading →
