Diagnostic accuracy of 3.0-T magnetic resonance T1 and T2 mapping and T2-weighted dark-blood imaging for the infarct-related coronary artery in Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]
Background: Patients with recent non–ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction commonly have heterogeneous characteristics that may be challenging to assess clinically. Methods and Results: We prospectively studied the diagnostic accuracy of 2 novel (

The Year in Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome
Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), which comprises unstable angina and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTE-MI), accounted for approximately 1.7 million discharges (primary or secondary diagnoses) from U.S.

Cardiac biomarkers by point-of-care testing - back to the future? [PDF]
The measurement of the cardiac troponins (cTn), cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) are integral to the management of patients with suspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Coronary CT Angiography in Patients With Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome [PDF]
In patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS), coronary pathology may range from structurally normal vessels to severe coronary artery disease.The purpose of this study was to test if coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) may be used to exclude coronary artery stenosis ≥50% in patients with NSTEACS.The VERDICT ...

Feasibility and performance of a device for automatic self-detection of symptomatic acute coronary artery occlusion in outpatients with coronary artery disease : a multicentre observational study [PDF]
Background Time delay between onset of symptoms and seeking medical attention is a major determinant of mortality and morbidity in patients with acute coronary artery occlusion. Response time might be reduced by reliable self-detection.

Outcome of very elderly (octogenarians) patients with coronary artery disease, all diagnosed by coronary angiography [PDF]
Background: Women with ischemic heart disease (IHD) typically present less severe coronary artery atherosclerosis. Despite that, as compared with men, women maintain a worse outcome.

Comparison between soluble ST2 and high-sensitivity troponin I in predicting short-term mortality for patients presenting to the Emergency Department with chest pain [PDF]
Background: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) and the soluble isoform of suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) are useful prognostic biomarkers in acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
