Prognostic significance of thrombus burden on short- and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
Conclusion LTB was associated with short- and long-term clinical events in STEMI patients undergoing PCI, but the mortality effect disappeared at the end of 1 year. Nevertheless, hospitalizations due to heart failure became significant in 10-year follow-up. (Source: Coronary Artery Disease)

Acute myocardial infarction in young adults with chronic kidney disease
Conclusion Presence of CKD was associated with 3.6-fold higher mortality over a median follow-up of 7.2 years. A lower proportion of CKD patients were treated with statin therapy and P2Y12 inhibitors. These findings highlight the need for intensive risk factor modification and optimal use of guideline-directed medical therapies in this high-risk population. (Source: Coronary Artery Disease)

Comparison of intracoronary versus intravenous tirofiban in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
This study aimed to investigate the effect of intracoronary (IC) tirofiban compared to intravenously administered tirofiban in STEMI patients treated with PPCI. Methods This study included 180 STEMI patients who were underwent PPCI. Patients were randomized into an IC group (n = 90) and intravenous (IV) group (n = 90). During the procedure, the both groups were administered IC or IV injections of tirofiban, respectively, followed by an IV infusion of tirofiban for 24 hours. Changes in TIMI flow grading, TMP grade 3, Sum-STR two hours after the operation, the number of thrombus aspirations during the operation, myoca...

Identification of protective biologic factors in patients with high cardiovascular risk, but normal coronary arteries (NormCorn)
Conclusion Patients with a high risk for CAD, but normal coronary arteries have EPCs function and telomere length which resemble healthy volunteers, and augmented compared with patients with established CAD, which could serve as a protective mechanism against atherosclerosis development in these high-risk patients.

Aortic arch plaque morphology in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography with wide-volume scan
Conclusion CTCA-WVS provides a comprehensive assessment of coronary atherosclerosis and thoracic aortic plaques in patients with CAD, which may improve the stratification of patients at risk for CV events. (Source: Coronary Artery Disease)

Atherogenic index of plasma predicts coronary artery disease severity and major adverse cardiac events in absence of conventional risk factors
Conclusion AIP is associated with both the severity of CAD and the occurrence of MACE within 3 years. It could serve as an effective marker of residual risk of CAD in patients devoid of traditional risk factors. Lipid-profile ratios, such as AIP are cost-effective and accessible parameters suitable for low and middle-income settings. (Source: Coronary Artery Disease)
