Are there differences on prognosis among patients with previous ischemic heart ...

Background: It is known that patients with previous vascular disease (PVD) have a poorer outcome than those without these previous conditions, and prognosis worsens as the number of affected vascular beds increases. Aim: To evaluate if there are differences in in-hospital and 6-month mortality among patients admitted with acute coronary syndromes with previous ischemic heart disease (IHD) versus cerebrovascular...

Low serum albumin – another prognostic marker?

Introduction: Population-based studies have suggested an association between low serum albumin levels and coronary atherosclerosis and heart failure. The role of albumin in the context of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) remains unclear, however, seems to associate with an adverse prognosis. Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine whether low serum albumin levels are associated with development of hear...

Impact of atrial fibrillation type during acute coronary syndromes: Clinical fe...

INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is widely recognized as an adverse prognostic factor during acute myocardial infarction, although the impact of AF type - new-onset (nAF) or pre-existing (pAF) - is still controversial. OBJECTIVES: To identify the clinical differences and prognosis of nAF and pAF during acute coronary syndromes (ACS). METHODS: We performed a retrospective observational cohort study includi...

Background: It is known that patients with previous vascular disease (PVD) have a poorer outcome than those without these previous conditions, and prognosis worsens as the number of affected vascular beds increases.

Incidence of in-stent restenosis over 13 years - a study based on a national re...

Background: In-stent restenosis (ISR) is one drawback of coronary angioplasty with stent implantation. Purpose: We investigated the incidence of ISR, its clinical presentation and treatment from a national registry. Methods: From all patients (pts) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) from 2002 to 2014, we selected those who had previous history of PCI (n=15326). ISR was defined as diameter steno...

Modified shock index - a strong preditor of outcome among patients presenting S...

Background: Prompt identification of higher risk patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention will allow a more assertive strategy and approach. Aim: To evaluate the modified shock index (MSI) - a ratio of heart rate (HR) to mean blood pressure (MAP), as a predictor of in hospital and 6-month mortality among patients (pts) admitted...
