Advancing Postmenopausal Preventive Therapy (APPT), a progestogen-free estrogen therapy to potentially reduce atherosclerosis: a randomized-controlled trial

Cardiovascular disease (narrowed or blocked blood vessels) is the leading cause of death, killing 1 of every 2 women.

International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches (ISCHEMIA)

BACKGROUND: Evidence supporting a routine invasive practice paradigm for patients with stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD) is outdated. In strategy trials conducted in the 1970s, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) improved survival as compared with no CABG in SIHD patients with high-risk anatomic features. The relevance of these studies today...
