Whether conjugated bilirubin concentration, resulting from hepatic UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1 A1 activity, is associated with cardiovascular disease is unknown. Our aim was to investigate the relation between serum conjugated bilirubin concentrations…
The simultaneous occurrence of cancer and coronary heart disease is increasing in the Western world. Nevertheless, the influence of cancer on ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous…
Although it has been shown that elevated white blood cell count (WBCc) on presentation is associated with an increased risk of cardiac mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction…
The everolimus-eluting stent (EES) performs better than the first generation drug-eluting stent. Prasugrel compared with clopidogrel in acute coronary syndromes treated invasively is associated with improved clinical outcome and decreased…
Using radiofrequency–intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS), we have previously demonstrated that in 50% of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with optimal angiographic result, the stent…
No data exist about successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and clinical outcome in patients with multiple coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs). The aim of this study was to determine the…
