Predictors of the Development of Adverse Cardiovascular Events after Coronary Artery Stenting in Obese Patients

This study investigates predictors of adverse cardiovascular events (CVEs) following coronary artery stenting (CAS) in obese patients. We analyzed data from obese individuals who underwent CAS, examining factors such as age, gender, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes), lipid profiles. The primary outcome was the incidence of myocardial infarction, stroke, or need for revascularization post-procedure. Multivariate analysis revealed that insulin resistance, elevated pre-procedural C-reactive protein (CRP), and poor blood pressure control were independent predictors of CVEs. Our findings emphasize the need for early identification and management of these factors to improve outcomes in obese patients undergoing CAS.
