The prognostic value of MELD-XI in elderly patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: an observational study

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background The model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio (MELD-XI) is a simple score for risk assessment. However, the prognostic role of MELD-XI and its additional value to current risk assessment in elderly patients ...

Coronary Microvascular Disease [PDF]

open access: yesCardiology and Therapy, 2022
Coronary microvascular disease or dysfunction (CMVD) has been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Despite a growing prevalence, guidelines on definitive treatment are lacking. Proposed mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction and resultant inflammation have been demonstrated as the underlying cause. Imaging modalities such as echocardiography,

Triglyceride glucose index for predicting cardiovascular outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndrome

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2020
Background The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a simple surrogate estimate of insulin resistance, has been demonstrated to predict cardiovascular (CV) disease morbidity and mortality in the general population and many patient cohorts.

Natriuretic peptides and integrated risk assessment for cardiovascular disease. an individual-participant-data meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Guidelines for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases focus on prediction of coronary heart disease and stroke. We assessed whether or not measurement of N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration could enable ...

Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with poor prognosis in acute coronary syndrome patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

open access: yesCardiovascular Diabetology, 2023
Background The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, which is a reliable substitute indicator for insulin resistance, has been considered an independent risk factor for long-term outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease.
