Association between DBP and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Background: In patients with stable coronary artery disease, low DBP is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death, but its association with clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown. Methods: Consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing PCI from January 2010 to June 2016 were enrolled. The patients were divided into five groups according to the quintiles of DBP at admission. The primary outcome was in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events ...

Bivalirudin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and independent predictors of postoperative adverse events in these patients: A real world retrospective study
The efficacy and safety of bivalirudin in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has always been a hot topic in perioperative antithrombotic therapy, but there are still some controversies. So studies are needed to provide more evidence, especially the real world study which includes patients excluded from previous RCT studys. Our study aimed to investigate these information and analyze the independent predictors of postoperative adverse events. A retrospective study enrolled 1416 patients underwent PCI in Tianjin Chest Hospital from May 2016 to October 2017. The incidence of stent-thrombosis and net clinical adverse ...

Comorbidities and Complications in Nonagenarians Undergoing Coronary Angiography and Intervention.
Authors: Gayed M, Yadak N, Qamhia W, Daralammouri Y, Ohlow MA Abstract Elderly people represent the fastest growing portion of cardiovascular patients. We aimed to analyze the clinical presentation, risk factors, co-morbidities, complications, and mortality in patients 90 years or more who underwent coronary angiography and intervention.We retrospectively studied 108 (0.25% of 43,385) consecutive patients ≥ 90 years undergoing cardiac catheterization and/or intervention in a tertiary specialist hospital between 2003 and 2014.Most patients (68.5%) were introduced on an emergency basis, especially with acute corona...

Particularities in coronary revascularization in elderly patients presenting with ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Publication date: August 2014 Source:Cor et Vasa, Volume 56, Issue 4 Author(s): Maria Dorobanţu , Lucian Câlmâc , Andrada Bogdan , Vlad Bătăilă , Bogdan Drăgoescu , Andrei Radu , Mugur Marinescu , Şerban Arvanitopol , Gabriel Tatu-Chiţoiu , Rodica Niculescu Nowadays, ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) is seen with greater incidence in older patients. Current guidelines recommend an immediate invasive evaluation and eventually primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in all STEMI patients regardless of age. Nevertheless, data in literature show a significant underuse of interventional treatm...

Rho-Associated Kinase Activity Is a Predictor of Cardiovascular Outcomes Cardiovascular Outcomes
Cardiovascular diseases are associated with chronic activation of Rho-associated kinase. Rho-associated kinase activity is significantly correlated with endothelial function and Framingham risk score. However, there is no information on the prognostic value of Rho-associated kinase activity. We evaluated Rho-associated kinase activity in peripheral leukocytes by Western blot analysis in 633 subjects who underwent health-screening examination at Hiroshima University Hospital. We assessed the associations between Rho-associated kinase activity and first major cardiovascular events (death from cardiovascular causes, myocardia...

Clinical characteristics, hospital care, and prognosis of patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction: Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry
The authors analyse clinical data, hospital care, and short- and long-term prognosis of 4981 ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients enrolled in the web-based Hungarian Myocardial Infarction Registry. It has been found that the mean age of STEMI patients was lower by 5.3 years than that of patients treated for non-STEMI (NSTEMI). In the group of NSTEMI patients (n = 3601), the occurrence of diabetes, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, and previous history of myocardial infarction and stroke were significantly more frequent. The proportion of smokers among STEMI patients was remarkably higher. Pr...

Short-term and long-term mortality associated with ventricular arrhythmia in patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome: findings from the Gulf RACE registry-2
Objectives: Ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) carries an ominous prognosis; however, long-term prognosis associated with VA in ACS in the Middle East is unknown. Accordingly, we sought to assess the incidence, in-hospital outcomes, and 1-year mortality of in-hospital VA in patients with ACS. Methods and results: The Second Gulf Registry of Acute Coronary Events (Gulf RACE-2) is a multinational observational study of patients with ACS, which enrolled 7930 patients. Of these, 333 (4.2%) developed VA during hospitalization. Patients with VA were significantly older (mean age 58.3 vs. ...
