The impact of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors versus angiotensin receptor blockers on 3-year clinical outcomes in elderly ( ≥ 65) patients with acute myocardial infarction without hypertension
ConclusionIn elderly AMI patients who underwent PCI with DES without a history of hypertension, the use of ACEI was significantly associated with reduced incidences of stroke, and re-hospitalization due to HF than those with the use of ARB.

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. ...

Acute hyperglycaemia and inflammation in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.
CONCLUSIONS: Acute hyperglycaemia is associated with worse in-hospital outcomes in patients with STEMI. More severe inflammation (defined as leukocyte count on admission) is noted in STEMI patients with adverse events. A significant positive correlation can be seen between glucose level and leukocyte count on admission, and concomitant presence of both acute hyperglycaemia and more severe inflammation in patients with STEMI was found to be an independent predictor of poor in-hospital outcomes.

Blood Pressure Recordings During Hemodialysis Access Interventions: Implications for Acute Management
Abstract A retrospective study evaluating the pattern of blood pressure and its related complications before, during, and after percutaneous hemodialysis interventions was performed in patients presenting with asymptomatic hypertension. Hemodialysis patients undergoing percutaneous interventions including tunneled hemodialysis catheter insertion, percutaneous balloon angioplasty and thrombectomy procedure, and stage II hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg) were included in this analysis. Blood pressure medications were not used while midazolam and fentanyl were routinely administered. Patients were followed f...

Relationship Between ST-Segment Recovery and Clinical Outcomes After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The HORIZONS-AMI ECG Substudy Report Myocardial Infarction
Conclusions— In this large international study, absent STR 60 minutes after primary PCI was present in 1 in 5 patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction and was a significant independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events and target vessel revascularization at 3 years.

Risk Factors for Cerebral Embolization After Carotid Artery Stenting With Embolic Protection: A Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study in 837 Consecutive Patients Peripheral Artery Disease
Conclusions— Age, hypertension, lesion morphology, and aortic arch type were predictive for procedural-related cerebral embolic lesions during embolic protected CAS. Age, significant contralateral carotid stenosis, and complex aortic arch type were predictive for bilateral ischemic lesions. The clinical implications of ischemic lesions are not yet fully understood.

Social connectedness and predictors of successful ageing
Conclusions: A healthy lifestyle and maintenance of healthy weight, but not social connectedness, may improve the chances of ageing successfully by our definition. Social connectedness may be related to a perception of ageing well, but it does not appear to help avoid the usual conditions associated with ageing.

Low-dose intravenous heparin infusion in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: a preliminary assessment.
Conclusions In patients with Fisher Grade 3 aSAH whose aneurysm is secured, postprocedure use of a low-dose intravenous heparin infusion may be safe and beneficial. PMID: 24032706 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of central pulse pressure with contrast-induced nephropathy and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing coronary intervention
Conclusion:Elevated baseline central PP was associated with an increased risk of CIN and future cardiovascular events in patients with PCI. Further clinical study may be indicated to determine whether pharmacological modulation on baseline central PP could prevent CIN and future MACE after PCI.

Contemporary Analysis of Incidence and Outcomes of Stent Thrombosis Presenting as ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Cohort
There are limited data about the effectiveness of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for stent thrombosis treatment. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and outcomes of PPCI in patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to stent thrombosis, and comparing the outcomes with patients treated for de novo coronary thrombosis. This was an observational cohort study of 2,935 patients who underwent PPCI from 2003 to 2011 with follow-up for a median of 3.0 years (interquartile range 1.2 to 4.6). The primary end point was the first major adverse cardiac event (MACE) defined as death, nonfatal ...

Renovascular hypertension: A report of 21 cases.
Abstract Renovascular hypertension (RVH) is among the most common forms of secondary hypertension. We studied 21 patients (eight male and 13 female) with RVH who were encountered during a period of 16 years. The average age of the patients was 34.75 years. Trans-renal Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of renovascular stenosis (RAS) as the cause of RVH in 95% of the patients. Computed tomography angiography was performed in ten cases, which confirmed the diagnosis in all these cases. Magnetic resonance angiography was performed in only three patients. Renal scintigraphy was performed in 11 patients, with D...

Is the 'liberation procedure' for multiple sclerosis really liberating?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease, which is immune-mediated, and responds to immune-modulating therapies. However, it is uncertain what antigen, or antigens, trigger the immune system to attack the central nervous system's (CNS's) myelin. Could it be iron? The predominantly venotopic location of MS lesions in the CNS has recently been postulated to be a consequence of congenital stenosis of the internal jugular or azygous veins, causing venous congestion and hypertension, and local transmural extravasation of erythrocytes into the white matter. The erythrocytes subsequently degrade, but the residual iron r...
