Predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for adverse left ventricular remodeling after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
CONCLUSION: The extent of infarct mass, peak radial diastolic strain rate, and RAAS inhibitor are independent predictors of adverse LV remodeling following STEMI.PMID:38597447 | PMC:PMC11006702 | DOI:10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2024.03.17 (Source: Journal of Southern Medical University)

Contemporary Risk Models for In-Hospital and 30-Day Mortality After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
AbstractPurpose of ReviewRisk models for mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are underutilized in clinical practice though they may be useful during informed consent, risk mitigation planning, and risk adjustment of hospital and operator outcomes. This review analyzed contemporary risk models for in-hospital and 30-day mortality after PCI.Recent FindingsWe reviewed eight contemporary risk models. Age, sex, hemodynamic status, acute coronary syndrome type, heart failure, and kidney disease were consistently found to be independent risk factors for mortality. These models provided good discrimination (C-...

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...

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)
