The study sought to simultaneously test a method for identifying individuals at high risk for Alzheimer’s disease while testing the efficacy of a potential treatment aimed at targets affecting cell

A report from an NIH Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory roundtable recently published in 

Although initial results from SECURE-PCI suggested that patients treated with periprocedural loading doses of atorvastatin and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) experienced a reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), extended follow-up showed no significant difference. The 12-month results, which were recently published in JAMA, expand upon the initial study, which followed patients for 30 days.

A recently published paper details the development and design of the FDA-funded Pediatric Migraine Registry, which has enrolled around 200 patients between the ages of 4 and 17.

The DCRI’s Sunil Rao, MD, writes that to deliver high quality care, interventional cardiologists must constantly evaluate their practice and learn new techniques and skills.

From thought leadership on a national stage to driving adoption for digital health technologies, the DCRI is leading the way in the digital therapeutic space.

Resuscitation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest should not be administered using a one-size-fits-all approach, especially when treating older patients, according to an editorial in 

The DCRI’s Michael Pencina, PhD, and Sheng Luo, PhD, discussed the design of two new Phase 3 clinical trials testing a potential treatment for coronavirus.

A focus on building a nationwide system of real-world data could provide the opportunity for more randomized clinical trials to generate needed evidence to inform health care decisions.

Findings from a DCRI-led study recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine suggest new prognostic implications for patients who have abnormal exercise electrocardiography (ECG) but normal stress echocardiography (Echo) results. In clinical practice, exercise ECG is combined with stress Echo imaging for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Although it is not uncommon for patients to have discordant results (abnormal ECGs and normal Echos), it was previously unclear whether this had any prognostic significance for these patients. An observational study led by DCRI’s Melissa Daubert, MD, sought to answer this question.
