Obtaining a right-chest electrocardiogram is essential for diagnosing concomitant right ventricular infarction in patients with inferior wall acute myocardial infarctions. A software program to synthesize right-chest electrocardiographic waveforms from 12-lead…
We aimed to describe the impact of the vascular access used when patients are treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and to assess whether this translates into differences in…
The pattern and prognostic impact of “early” acute kidney injury (AKI) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction have not been well established. From…
The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate the clinical characteristics including symptoms and long-term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) accidentally admitted to non-cardiology departments (NCDs)….
Age, creatinine, and ejection fraction (ACEF) score predict clinical outcomes in patients who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of nonocclusive coronary stenoses. We aimed at assessing the prognostic value…
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have worse outcomes versus those without DM. Comparative contemporary data in patients presenting with AMI with insulin-requiring diabetes mellitus…
Several studies have highlighted the prognostic role of preprocedural Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow in the infarct-related artery (IRA) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, the…
Time to coronary reperfusion and acute kidney injury (AKI) are powerful prognostic markers in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, no information…
Regulatory agencies, professional societies, and clinical trialists commonly base judgments of treatment benefit on separate assessments of efficacy and safety. When separate assessments were compared with an integrated assessment using…
Early repolarization associated with sudden cardiac death is based on the presence of >1-mm J-point elevations in inferior and/or lateral leads with horizontal and/or downsloping ST segments. Automated electrocardiographic readings…
