Prehospital and in-hospital use of healthcare resources in patients surviving acute coronary syndromes: an analysis of the EPICOR registry. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this report is to provide insight into real-world healthcare resource use (HCRU) during the critical management of patients surviving acute coronary syndromes (ACS), using data from EPICOR (long-tErm follow-up of antithrombotic ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Moderate‐to‐severe calcification is present in ~20%–30% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Coronary lesion modification is often necessary to facilitate optimal stent delivery and expansion, with several dedicated devices now approved for calcium modification before stent implantation. The CYCLOPES study aims to evaluate

Contemporary NSTEMI management: the role of the hospitalist. [PDF]
Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is defined as elevated cardiac biomarkers of necrosis in the absence of persistent ST-segment elevation in the setting of anginal symptoms or other acute event.

Immediate versus deferred coronary angioplasty in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes [PDF]
Background: The field of acute coronary syndromes is characterised by an increasing tendency towards early invasive catheter-based diagnostics and therapeutics—a practice based on observational and retrospective data. Objective: To compare immediate

ABSTRACT Background High‐altitude populations typically exhibit elevated hemoglobin (Hb) levels due to chronic hypoxic exposure; however, the impact of this elevation on the risk of ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear. Existing evidence is primarily derived from low‐altitude populations and cannot be directly extrapolated

ABSTRACT We describe the “skipping rope technique” for managing burr entrapment during rotational atherectomy. Sequential counterclockwise rotational force is applied to the drive shaft, generating alternative torque dynamics. This maneuver provides a safe method to disengage a stuck rotaburr, offering operators an additional strategy for this ...

ST2 in Stable and Unstable Ischemic Heart Diseases [PDF]
Circulating suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) predicts cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in ischemic heart disease (IHD). ST2 does not correlate with traditional risk indicators as closely as N-terminal pro–brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP ...

Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.
