Clopidogrel in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes [PDF]

European Heart Journal Supplements, 2006
Platelets play a central role in the pathophysiology of arterial thrombosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aspirin is superior to placebo in preventing mortality and ischemic events in patients with ACS. Clopidogrel, when added to aspirin and given daily for up to 1 year, reduces cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke ...

Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes [PDF]

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012
Non–ST-segment elevation (NSTE) acute coronary syndromes (ACS), encompassing NSTE myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina, lack the declarative electrocardiographic findings that readily identify patients with STEMI, yet comprise >70% of all ACS.1–3 Unlike STEMI patients who receive uniform treatment to restore flow in an occluded artery ...

The Clinical Presentation, Electrocardiogram and Echocardioscopy Features in Case of Acute Coronary Syndrome without ST Elevation Patients of Different Gender with Essential Arterial Hypertension and Helicobacter Pylori Infection

, 2018
Introduction. The acute coronary syndrome is one of the main causes of cardiovascular mortality, especially in case of comorbidities. One of the most common concomitant diseases and a risk factor of acute coronary syndrome development is essential ...

A Simplified Approach to the Management of Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes [PDF]

JAMA, 2005
While current practice guidelines provide an evidence-based approach to management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS), application of the evidence by individual physicians has been suboptimal.To assess and synthesize the evidence regarding optimal management of non-ST-segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS).Systematic searches of peer-reviewed publications ...

Persistent convex ST‐segment elevation in a patient with a history of prior intracerebral haemorrhage

ESC Heart Failure
Management of patients with acute chest pain poses a significant challenge in identifying those requiring urgent coronary reperfusion. Electrocardiogram (ECG) constitutes the cornerstone in making prompt clinical decisions by identifying ST‐segment ...

Pre‐percutaneous Coronary Intervention Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Attenuation Evaluated by Computed Tomography Predicts Global Coronary Flow Reserve After Urgent Revascularization in Patients With Non–ST‐Segment–Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Impaired global coronary flow reserve (g‐CFR) is related to worse outcomes. Inflammation has been postulated to play a role in atherosclerosis.

Management of elderly patients with a non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome [PDF]

Netherlands Heart Journal, 2017
Elderly patients with an acute coronary syndrome are underrepresented in randomised controlled trials. Neither the European Society of Cardiology nor the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology acute coronary syndrome guidelines provide specific recommendations for elderly patients.

ST elevation: Differential diagnosis and caveats. A comprehensive review to help distinguish ST elevation myocardial infarction from nonischemic etiologies of ST elevation

Turkish Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2018
Prompt diagnosis of acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) by the initial ECG is important in order to perform an urgent coronary angiography as soon as possible and achieve successful revascularization, therewith improving mortality ...
