Improving ST-Elevation–Myocardial Infarction Care [PDF]

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 2012
In the past 2 decades, we have seen dramatic changes in the care of patients with ST-elevation–myocardial infarction (STEMI). Randomized, controlled trials in the early 1990s showed that primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was superior to fibrinolytic therapy, and a 2003 meta-analysis of 23 clinical trials firmly established primary PCI as

Roles of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in post-myocardial infarction patients: risk of new occurrence of atrial fibrillation and ischaemic stroke [PDF]

, 2013
Poster PresentationINTRODUCTION: Patients with myocardial infarction are at risk of development of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ischaemic stroke. We sought to evaluate the prognostic performance of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores in predicting new AF ...

The Prognostic Impact of Multiple Adverse Events on Long‐Term Mortality Following Acute Myocardial Infarction

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adverse events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are individually associated with poor outcomes, but the prognostic impact of the overlap of different event types occurring sequentially within the same patient remains uncertain.

Red blood cell distribution width is associated with myocardial injury in non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome

Clinics, 2015
OBJECTIVES: The red blood cell distribution width has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. In the present study, we assessed the relationship between red cell distribution width values and cardiac troponin I levels in patients
