Factors Influencing Time to First Medical Contact in Patients with Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Retrospective Analysis
CONCLUSIONS Patients with persistent chest tightness/pain, EMS admission, and vascular characteristics (RCADL or LCADL) experienced shorter S2FMC and higher compliance rate (S2FMC ≤180 min). At the same time, age and other vascular features played an inverse role. This study proposes enhancing follow-up and monitoring measures, and shows the consequences of intermittent chest pain should not be disregarded.PMID:38584384 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.942080 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

The role of coronary artery disease in lung transplantation: a propensity-matched analysis
CONCLUSION: In this cohort, relevant CAD was not associated with worse outcomes and should therefore not be considered a contraindication for LuTx. Nonetheless, cardiovascular events in CAD patients highlight the necessity of control of cardiovascular risk factors and a structured cardiac follow-up.PMID:38587564 | DOI:10.1007/s00392-024-02445-y (Source: Clin Med Res)

The Use of Quantitative Flow Ratio for Decisions and Outcomes in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Study
Functional evaluation is crucial for diagnosing undetermined coronary artery stenosis in stable coronary artery disease.1 –3 Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard for assessing the physiological severity of coronary stenosis.4 Several trials have revealed a reverse correlation between post-interventional FFR and the risk of adverse events.5,6 Many studie...

Zero upper arm hemodialysis fistulas: utopian or realistic goal?
CONCLUSIONS: The findings confirm the low prevalence of UAF found in our prior survey, demonstrating that UAFs can be reduced to 5% or less, as seen in Japanese experience.PMID:38581266 | DOI:10.1177/11297298241245062 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Prevalence of frailty according to the Hospital Frailty Risk Score and related factors in older patients with acute coronary syndromes in Vietnam
CONCLUSIONS: The HFRS was an effective tool for stratifying frailty and predicting adverse health outcomes in older patients with ACS. Further research is needed to compare the HFRS with other frailty assessment tools in this population.PMID:38576179 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13307 (Source: Australasian Journal on Ageing)

Patient radiation exposure dose reduction using stent-enhanced image processing in percutaneous coronary intervention
We examined the effects of dose reduction based on the image quality of stent enhancement processing using a purpose-built dynamic phantom. We evaluated the image contrast (IC) of the stent in stent-enhanced images (SVref), digital angiography (DA), and stent-enhanced images with a 20%, 40%, and 60% lower imaging doses (SV20, SV40, and SV60). We visually evaluated graininess and stent shape using the mean opinion score (MOS) and retrospectively evaluated the acquisition duration of stent enhancement in PCI cases; finally, we estimated the decrease in patient radiation exposure due to stent enhancement. The image contrast o...
