Contemporary NSTEMI management: the role of the hospitalist [PDF]

open access: yesHospital Practice (1995), 2020
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. It carries a poorer prognosis than most ST-segment elevation events, owing to the typical comorbidity burden of the older NSTEMI patients

Vascular senescence and atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability: investigating the telomere-mitochondria crosstalk—rationale and design of the VICTORIA Study [PDF]

open access: yesExploration of Cardiology
Vascular aging is recognized as one of the hallmarks of atherosclerosis. Currently, a growing body of evidence suggests that there exists a mutual crosstalk between telomere dysfunction and mitochondrial dysmetabolism during the process of vascular ...
