A matched cohort study was conducted comparing patients with first-time acute coronary syndromes infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to non-HIV-infected patients with and without diabetes matched for smoking, gender,…
Calling 911 during acute coronary syndromes (ACS) decreases time to treatment and may improve prognosis. Women may have more atypical ACS symptoms compared to men, but few data are available…
Myocardial fractional flow reserve (FFR) has emerging clinical utility and prognostic value in medically stabilized patients with non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The aim of this study was to investigate…
The aim of this study was to evaluate platelet reactivity and 30-day bleeding events in patients treated with prasugrel 10 mg after acute coronary syndromes. A total of 444 patients…
Fetuin-A is a ubiquitous anti-inflammatory glycoprotein that counteracts proinflammatory cytokine production. Previous studies have shown that low fetuin-A concentration is associated with cardiovascular death and may play an important role…
It has been reported that increased levels of C-reactive protein are related to adverse long-term prognosis in the setting of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (MI). In previous studies, the…
Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and multivessel disease (MVD) have been associated with greater mortality after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of…
Drug-eluting stents have shown promising clinical results in the treatment of coronary artery disease, including in women. Studies with first-generation drug-eluting stents, however, have reported higher rates of stent thrombosis…
A low ratio of n-3 to n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids has been associated with cardiovascular events. However, the effects of this ratio on coronary atherosclerosis have not been fully examined….
There have been no optical coherence tomographic (OCT) data directly comparing the pattern of strut coverage between the 2 second-generation drug-eluting stents in the early period. The aim of this…
