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 ...

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 ...

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.
