Why do post menopausal women have an increased risk of CAD?
Estrogen plays a role in increasing HDL levels and because it is absent post menopause it changes the female’s risks to that of male equivalents
HS-CRP vs CRP
High sensitivity CRP is a test that allows for detection of markers in lower grade conc than CRP and is theorized to be a better predictor of MI than CRP as a result, both are nonspecific inflammatory markers that can be present regardless of MI
Lowering CRP decreases risk of stroke by ___% and MI by ___% as studied in the ____ trial

Type I MI
Caused by acute atherothrombotic coronary artery disease usually precipitated by atherosclerotic plaque disruption
Type 2 MI
Consequent to mismatch between o2 supply and demand due to things other than a plaque such as coronary dissection, vasospasm, embolism (a non-plaque one), microvascular dysfunction, or increased demand with or without underlying CAD
Type 3 MI
Undiagnosed MI resulting in death before any obtaining of biomarker values to determine type otherwise
Type 4a MI
MI associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
Type 4b MI
Subcategory of percutaneous coronary intervention related MI due to stent or scaffold thrombosis
